One hit elegance – something of use

tsuchiya-kaban-2 watermelon tote
Its always a challenge to carry a watermelon home from the Grocery Store – especially when you are walking.

Japanese designer, Tsuchiya Kaban, leather bag provides an elegant, luxury vessel tote around your fruit. Holding one round watermelon, the carrier was crafted by Yusuke Kadoi as part of a project titled “The Fun of Carrying”, which encouraged designers to create playful, inventive items as side projects.

The bag is just a concept – if it was put into production, there may be an audience for it!

Coffee, heat, Jury Duty, ships~

Good Morning!  It’s going to be warm and humid in NYC the next couple of days.  It looks like the Southwest is going to be REALLY toasty, too. but its a dry heat ~ she whines

dievca has planned a leisurely coffee before working the morning and then a jaunt to Jury Duty….she has to defer, as she is leaving for Europe  later this week. The travel? It’s mostly work and a bit of pleasure.  Master has returned from the West Coast, did a quick hit with dievca, then took off for Europe.  Master and dievca will be ships passing in the night.
