Today is a very special day. Today, New York and I celebrate our one year anniversary of blissful union. As those who work in the greeting card industry might be aware, the traditional gift for first anniversaries is paper. This is very fitting as I love paper. And so to mark this startling occasion we have this blog post.
Sadly on this 23rd day of August, there is nothing new for you to see. I have been spending every last drop of limited free time at the library doing research for my thesis proposal which is inexplicably due next week. In fact I am freezing in the overly air-conditioned library as we speak, obviously working really hard.
In between working, interning, and pretending to study I have had time to do a bit of much needed life organization. A few weeks ago I picked up this amazing contraption at MUJI.
This is what I like to refer to as my flat file. I like to do this because it makes me feel like a real art collector. I have been wishing that I had something to store all of the cards I have collected and those I have made, for awhile now, and this is just a dream. Here are a few more views of it just because I love its sleek aesthetic qualities so much.
This week in Small Things Made of Paper time...My dear friend Bonnie in Ohio sent these treasures to me last week, through the U.S. Postal Service.
You know how I feel about receiving paper and wrapping paper in the mail! This is very exciting and I can't wait to use these to make something new one day, post thesis proposal. Thanks so much Bonnie!
As there is nothing new to share, I will only say...here is to another year of being pushed around on the subway and continuing to find those rare and uniquely New York moments that make it worthwhile.
