house

See, I told you I would share some things I found for my tumblr over here as well! This place, House, I don't know much about. I haven't learned Japanese that quickly (though I am slowly trying). I know they make amazing things by hand, like leather shoes that look like they've been worn for centuries already (in a beautiful way, not a gross one). The aesthetic of this place just amazes me, so earthy—could be all the plants they seem to have hanging around. Anyway, this is on my list of dream places to visit.

And I want these shoes! I love that the label is a hand-drawn "House" on the sole.

I loved your tumblr. I looked at every photo. You've put together a great set. I've never seen tumblr before. I'll have to check it out.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! It's really just a space for inspiration for me, and I want to share it with others as well.

It's a cool site, many people use it for "micro-blogging," I'm using it more for visual bookmarking.

Dawn:

I just love the idea of visual bookmarking. Thanks for sharing it.
