Love in Bloom

[Chapter: Illustration]

A few weeks ago I was browsing at the beauty counters in a department store seeking for ideas and inspiration. I chanced upon these pretty prints on some of the products by Lanegie, a Korean skincare company.

The prints looked kind of familiar and I was eager to know who the artist might be, hence my eyes zoomed in on a brochure placed close by and the answer was none other than Sanna Annukka. Ahh…

Then of course I brought the brochure home with me since it’s free and it’s not everyday that one gets to see a printed material like this one.

Moving furniture aid etc

[Chapter: Etc picks]

Left to right, top to bottom:
Jumbo heavy duty folding swivel cart

Magna Elite 2
Moving Men 8-piece furniture slider set
Safco foldaway platform truck
Liftbuddy
PotLifter (Also for rock, pumpkin, stump, etc)

Some handy tips:

  • Pack heavier stuff in small boxes.
  • Place a heavy box on top on an empty box to make lifting easier.
  • Use luggages and trolley bags.
  • Before attempting to lift an object, lean close to the object, bend knees and keep back straight.

Old-school Papermate erasers

[Chapter: Blooming zakka]

Besides Pilot, Staedtler (and maybe Pentel?), Papermate stationery was a mainstay around the time when I started primary school; a time when variety was still limited (students these days don’t know about abundance!) and some things are now called old-school. Sigh, how age-revealing…

And I can’t hide the fact that I remember the grey-white duo eraser from Papermate.

Incidentally are you curious about the font “Pink Pearl”? I couldn’t help but take several stares at the letter “P” to follow its curves. Though I don’t know what font it is, I’ve found some that look somewhat similar. Will show you what they are next week.

As always thanks for the company, see ya next Monday. Have a great weekend!
