Forget Me Not (Behind the scenes)
Here’s Jo, hard at work, behind the scenes! Painstakingly checking and making sure that every art print is flawless. Drawing carefully on our window glass display with her incredible typography.
Hand-screened art prints, tote bags, notebooks, cards with Jo’s typography designs are for sale as well. Art prints are screened in limited pieces only, and are all hand signed by Jo herself, what a treat! We hope you drömmers will pop by to check this exhibition out, it starts tomorrow!
Forget Me Not
Remember the good old days of penning your thoughts and impressions of your classmates upon school graduation?
From composing friendship verses, farewell poems, folding dog-ears with secret messages, carefully styling your profile page with fluorescent highlighters, colourful markers and metallic pens, to your sincere attempts at describing your friend’s personality by linking attributes to the alphabets of their names… we did them all!
We hope this exhibition will take you down memory lane as you reminisce on those sweet memories at school.

Japan Travelogue – Shioya Diner
Quirky, colourful and retro has definitely got to be Shioya Diner! Located at Naoshima Island (直岛), nearer to the main Port – Miyanoura Port, Shioya Diner is fairly simple to discover. Every piece of furniture and decor pieces were so mismatched (in an eccentric and good way!), even every napkin holder and salt & pepper shaker was different. The table where we sat on was actually an old school children’s writing desk, and it has actual drawers underneath.
Stan ordered the Cajun chicken set, and I had the Taco rice. Everything within this place seems so cozy and self contained, our dinner was cooked on a grill, located just outside. The tantalising fragrance of stan’s grilled Cajun chicken was just floating around the whole place!
As you can tell from the second last photo here that the menu has been basking long under the sun, so much so that the colours had already faded – but that’s just the beauty of this place, to us at least.
Shioya Diner is one place we’ll never forget :)

Forget Me Not
A sneak peak into our upcoming collab and exhibition with local designer Joanne Lim. On school days and graduations – an autograph book exhibition, coming soon at the little dröm store.
Japan Travelogue – Cafe Konichiwa
Located at Naoshima Island, (直島), Cafe Konichiwa is nicely tucked away at a corner near the pier, so it has a lovely window seaside port view.
The top 2 photos were taken from 2 different visits! The first one was taken recently – bright and sunny Spring 2013, and the second one was taken during Winter 2012 (which was mostly cold and wet). Much has changed, the cute little rocking horse and the small trampoline were not longer there!
This photo collage of Cafe Konichiwa is a mixture of our old and new photos. We love how the menus are all handmade booklets with very endearing hand-drawn food/drink illustrations, super cute!
We had breakfast during our winter 2012 visit, and for our most recent visit, we had dinner. We sat there watching the sun set amidst the really beautiful seascape. Watching everything come to a standstill was really a visual treat for us, a good break from the hustle and bustle!

Japan Travelogue – Teshima Art Museum
The bottom 4 photos are the exterior and interior of the AMAZING Teshima Art Museum – a magical creation/collaboration by Japanese artist Rei Naito and architect Ryue Nishizawa.
This one of the most intriguing contemporary artworks in Japan. Located amongst terraced rice fields, this simple concrete white dome structure stimulated our senses with the play of water drops on the concrete floor surface.
Upon setting foot in the white concrete dome, you will be pleasantly greeted by very gentle and little water droplets on the floor. These little water droplets were literally dancing across the floor at every corner, and would eventually direct themselves into the main water pool, directly below the circular open air ceiling. These water droplets would then collect together to form a larger water puddle and there, you could also see the reflection of the open skies. It was really a play on our senses, totally mind blowing!
We were strictly advised that no photography was allowed inside which is why the last 3 interior photos were not ours, and were extracted from the respective sites (tinylittlesketches.com, springpad.com and girlsandbuildings.blogspot.com)

Japan travelogue – Traces Blue
by Craig Walsh and Hiromi Tango.
This a mirror covered boat that’s located at Teshima Island, 豊島. Also part of the Setouchi Triennale – “Traces Blue” has got to be one of our favourite art piece. The mirrors on the boat makes it look like it is almost invisible! There were some jellyfish floating around nearby too while we we there. Once again, we love how these art pieces integrate and interact with the nature’s elements. This boat was just quietly tucked away along the Teshima Island’s pier, and minding it’s own business until we finally found it, and we were blown away!
This project employs boats, houses, and household items that are no longer in use to make collaborative works with the islanders. The focal point is a mirror-covered boat floating on the sea. Installations in an abandoned house will present the lives and memories of the islanders gleaned through conversations.
The second photo is our view from after cycling uphill – the beauty of Teshima Island :)
