I really like the fonts for these signs...

And from this store, I was surprised with...

 this amazing paper flower..."because real ones don't last"...(aww)...made out of pineapple fibers which also wrap around the long wire stem...

And this lovely new journal made from coconut fibers and palm leaves

 I love fresh, new pages and this soft paper is so nice to write on

Speaking of paper and nice things...

This novel, The People of Paper by Salvador Plascencia, is an excellent read...And here's a song about pretty paper...

Bali Kopi (coffee) helps me come-to in the morning...getting me started on the right (sometimes the left one, but that doesn't really matter) foot. My morning coffee looks a little something like this to me when I wake up...

 Feed the fishies...

 Bathers lounging under the bridge...

 How they got down there...

But I got distracted by these water lily's...

And water that looks like glass...

 And who did I listen to for my morning romp, and just can't shake (except for my dancin' legs) you ask??


Discovery:


Jackson 5 - I Want You Back - Remix
Osaka Loop Line
So Insane
Swing Tree


God they're good...


Readers take note: Sorry for my absence this last week. My dad was in town and I had my hands full between CHICHI, the fish, and pops...but "I'm back in the saddle again" (Gene Autry style),so terima kasih banyak (Thank you very much : )

Sanur, Bali

 Tarum Natural Dye Studio

 Roots and plants to make the dyes.

Boxes of bobbins...Looms to make fabric

 Outside the studio.

And Happy December 1st! Winter is so nice from a distance : P 

This first song is M83 - Run Into Flowers. It's an excellent song, partly because musically it is just right and so sweet, but also because it makes everything around me move in slow motion and feel like a movie when it's playing. It's like we're at a pivotal part of the movie, where nothing is changing but everything is changing; The sun just starts peeping out from under the clouds, wind picks up, birds fly by, for a few minutes it all just falls into place. Let me know if it has the same effect on you or if you think I need to go to the doc to get my head examined...

This next one is a little bit peppier...ah, who am I kidding, anything called Ready for the Weekend is probably packing a punch. This song is something I would've listened to a few years ago and then would've really started getting ready for the weekend (it's Wednesday at 7:30 AM), but instrumentally this song isn't quite as spastic and is something that can totally be digested and appreciated even at 7:30 in the morning (along with your second cup of coffee, sometimes we need that extra push)...

And for a "no fail win" from you guys here's Cold Cave's - Life Magazine which is totally rockin' on many levels! X
