Check this out!!!

My good pal Sarah and her daughter Michel have opened their Etsy shop "Petit Reve". Sarah is a designer/illustrator in my company and also the vocal/bass player in our band "Softee". She is super talented, and I've introduced her book to you guys before. Come on and take a look! I am sure she will stock up her shop with more and more yummy goodness as time goes by.

Not a tattoo

My friend Amanda drew it on my hand with a Sharpie during a meeting today. (Bad camera, can't take a decent photo without the flashlight... I swear I am going to replace you real soon!!!)

Here are some of the awesome "Sharpie tattoos" Amanda drew on herself. She is GREAT in hand lettering, too!!! Check out her blog and see more photos of her hand arts! : )

Mr. Friendly from Japan

(photo from Mr. Friendly Cafe Blog)

I can't believe that I ran into Mr. Friendly again. I remember when I was still a teenager, I loved Mr. Friendly and I owned a couple of Mr. Friendly goodies, but as years go by and I moved to a different country, I forgot about him. I am so happy to see that he is still around. Check out the website and blog (in Japanese); the blog has more photos to look at.

PS: I just found Mr. Friendly's English site! (Part of it still under construction and in Japanese.)
