Shadow Play
Published May 12, 2008 found things 0 CommentsTags: hand made, indonesia, puppet theater, shadow puppets
Another visit to my “storage paradise” ended up with this finding: an Indonesian shadow puppet which is as beautiful under the light as it is against it. Made of leather and beautifully decorated with colors. Hand Made-Quite a treasure. Do kids still play these days with these? I remember that in Greece, Shadow Puppet Theaters were a big thing. Maybe I should come up with a shadow puppet playstation…
Alice Life Lessons - and my new bag!

This just came in the mail. I love Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (by Lewis Carroll) and everything that she stands for… I also love Tea parties!
This messenger bag by baba-store in magical Prague, fits all my daily-carry-around and some more. It has an adjustable strap and can be worn as a backpack too. It adds inspiration to any casual outfit. You can browse the fabulous Baba collection at their online baba-store!
The small beautiful cups are from my private collection, most of them bought in flea markets around the New York area. There were times that I was really obsessed about collecting them and initiated trips just for that. They are perfect for Greek coffee as well as for Espresso. They are also perfect to just “be”! The cardboard figurines are hung ornaments.

I had the statue of Wonder Woman for a few years before I got married. I thought of it as my Venus and as a symbolic source of feminine power. I bought it on a 50% closing down sale from the amazing Warner Bros megastore on 57th & 7th Av, in NYC. Nowdays she stands next to poet Bialik, a sculpture by artist Igael Tumarkin, acquired by my husband at an auction.
A Strange Tree whose name I don’t know
Published March 28, 2008 found things 0 CommentsTags: strange, tree
Another tree. At some point I thought this was a fig tree, but the more I look at it, I have no clue. It actually looks more like a character than a tree. A strange character, that is.
Just found this. I’m still not sure whether I like this unexpected splash of pink or if I feel sorry for the poor tree that needs to eat pink toxic…
