Midtown Tokyo Christmas

Just had to show you this incredible cut paper chandelier at Midtown Tokyo. During the evening the chandelier is lit up in seven colors. It is white during the day.

Blogger, Hinagesi-K, has kindly allowed me to post this picture. More daylight photos of this chandelier can be seen on the blog and while you're there be sure to check out the beautiful embroideries.

Linna Morata

Really liking these hair accessories by Nathalie of Linna Morata. The very talented French artisan also makes decorative patches, bags, pouches, and children's apparel, many of which can be seen on her blog, Innamorata.
