me and old building: a pretty batik shop

I accidentally saw this pretty building one morning after 

accompanying a good friend picked up some books at this

huge second hand book market in the South of Jakarta. 

As I came closer to take this pictures I found out that it's

an old batik shop owned by this old chinese man.I really

really love those two big displays and the second floor!

Saya menemukan toko batik cantik ini tidak sengaja.

Ceritanya waktu itu menemani teman mengambil

pesanan bukunya di Blok M Square, jadi bayangkan

senangnya saya waktu mendekat dan menemukan

betapa diantara himpitan ruko-ruko baru masih ada

tersempil sebuah bangunan secantik ini. Yay!

me and collection : Indonesian vintage product labels

I have just start to collect Indonesian vintage or traditional labels.
These are some of them from our Batik products, an old money
and others. I thing I prefer to collect square and bigger size labels
but no one could will say no when findings these pretty paperie, right?

Koleksi label produk lokal dan antik dari Indonesia ini 
memang tidak banyak. Mungkin karena pada akhirnya
saya lebih suka mengkoleksi label yang bentuknya kotak 
dan ukurannya besar. Tapi kalau ada yang menawari,
siapa yang tidak tergoda membeli kan?

(not so) sunny sunday

I just realized that Jakarta now is starting to have

its rainy season. Therefore it is a bit difficult to get

sunlight that really shine in full and beautiful. It's

cloudy almost every day and rain hard almost every

night. Nice but not nice for taking pictures.

And I'm still working at the office today, but before

that I manage to go to the market near my house

to do some craft shopping and all. Wonderful. Oh,

and I did a little collage too last night in between

playing scrabble and eating cakes with my lover and

one of our bestfriend.

How's your Sunday? Hope they are peacefully pretty.
