Paper Heart

Thanks to a lovely invite from Matt at Overture Films I'm headed out for a fun movie screening tomorrow night with my lovely roommate. J Fox decided she wanted to head to California instead of going to see a movie with me. How rude! (I'm channeling my inner Stephanie Tanner).

Check out the trailer for Paper Heart here.

I'll let you know what I think of it. I'm expecting good things and am sure that Michael Cera and Charlyne Yi will deliver.

Until we meet again,

Jane Jenni Buttons

Have you heard of Jane Jenni before? She does an super cute kid (and adult) friendly line of melamine plates and cups, buttons, magnets, mugs, lunchbags, and some other fun things. We got some new buttons in the other day and we had to show you guys some of our favorites.

Can you guess what they all are?
The new ones, to us at least, are cool beans, penny pincher, starving artist, talk turkey, peace loving, and smarty pants. It's interesting to see the variation in the button art work. Some buttons are super detailed (ex. penny pincher, starving artist) while others are quite simple (ex. cool cucumber, top banana). We love the buttons below because of the wonderful bird images on them.

And last but not least, our favorites modeled on the lovely J Fox.

Hehe. Isn't the squirrel so cute?! He's so fat and chunky. And boy does that fox look sly...I bet he's up to no good.

Happy Hump Evening,
J & J

Super H Mart

Thank you Piewacket!! Without your post we never would have heard about the wonderfulness that is the Super H Mart. Two hours after reading your post we took a little field trip outside the perimeter to explore Super H Mart for ourselves.

We spent over an hour wandering the aisles, marveling at all the interesting things we saw. The produce section was amazing, super fresh food and lots of things we'd never seen before, like doughnut peaches. The bakery section has lots of great breads and pastries. We tried a cheese danish, a cookie/pastry with pumpkin pure, and a lemon pound cake. (The danish and pound cake were good, the cookie with pumpkin....not so good.)

Next thing we ran across was a whole aisle dedicated to any and every type of instant noodle dinners. I wonder what Chapagetti tastes like?? Spaghetti maybe? :)
Isn't the little cartoon guy on the Cham-pong cute. :) We really loved all the colorful packaging. Here are some more pictures of things we found around the store.


We couldn't escape without also getting some fun little snacks. Panda cookies with vanilla cream, 5 little boxes of various shaped gum(super sweet at first, but the flavor goes away after about 10 chews), and tastiest of all...Choco Banan Pocky! Cookie sticks dipped in banana cream(?) and drizzled with chocolate. Mmmm. :)

Make sure you also check out the home goods section that's almost hiding in the far left corner. They have some cute little bento boxes, great ceramic dishes, rice cookers, and some funky kitchen accessories.

Also, check out Piewacket. It's a great blog for local people to check out and she takes amazing photos.

Until next time,

Felt Farm

What is made out of wool and felt, has black beaded eyes, is 'born' on a farm in West Virginia, and can be worn on your neck?? Stumped? We figured you might be....

That would be Nancy Bevins "Motley Mutton" creations.

We stumbled across Nancy's felted farm friends when we were perusing Etsy and were just *smitten* with her creative usage of wool and felt.  It isn't that often that you come across a piece of jewelry that just makes you gasp a little (and not in that "Tiffany blue box" way that makes anyone a bit lightheaded) but in the way that you simply cannot comprehend how someone could be so creative -- or nuts! Hey, they're usually intertwined and go hand in hand, and we love it!

And, of course, we couldn't be more pleased that there is a fox on the Motley Mutton farm. So quirky... we are impressed :)

Go check out her website, and let us know what you think! Even if you would prefer not to wear such a critter around your neck, you can't help but appreciate her originality!

Until next time,

Beach Time

Nothing like laying on the beach with a good book in hand...warm sun on your face and a breeze coming off the water.

Enough about the beach...has anyone seen the new Harry Potter movie?! You should go this weekend if you haven't already. We thoroughly enjoyed it! The movie stuck to the story pretty well and only left out a few of the smaller things. Can you believe that the last book is going to be divided into two movies?!

Until next time,
J & J
