Midweek, Philo and I slept in later while the rest went off to snowboard.
We cruised down Brunswick street and shopped about.



This is the shopfront of Meet Me at Mike's.
They are doing an Envelope Project.



There's always lil' surprises in the shopfronts :- )



Or even on the building facade itself.



And this is a random photo of yummy paper that I cannot afford to crease while bringing back.

When the sun goes down and everything closes,
(It's funny seeing how shops run by Asians will always be opened a lil' later)

I went to the opening of Design:Made:Trade at the Royal Exhibition Building a stroll away from where we stay - on my own. We happened to catch Melbourne at the beginning of the Victoria's Design Festival, oh lucky me.

Uhm, well, I wasn't supposed to take photos, and I normally obey exhibition rules, especially when I respect the exhibitioners. But I paid quite a bit for this, so I might as well share.



Everything is made of Art Paper/cardboard, even that awesome igloo.



Every single booth too



I love this corner especially.
It's interactive and explored fun concepts.
There's the funny guy mass-silkscreening postcards at the corner. He was having so many orders he never stopped hahaha

Never mind I was feeling horribly underdressed and rather out of place for the event, I enjoyed looking at every booth. It's interesting to note the craft and design scene in Melbourne cross rather harmoniously.

I like the feeling of strolling in a foreign city on your own, just taking in everything your eyes capture, even the strange "new" smell
hehe
