Postcard from Tsukiji Fish Market!

Last month I blogged about Le Petit Elefant / Genevieve Santos' Postcards from Abroad and I finally got mine!  It is really special.  The art on the front is one of a kind and her note made me feel like a friend especially since I'm a huge fan of Tsukiji Fish Market!  I haven't been there yet but have watched enough tv shows and films to know that I would love to visit!

Since we're on the subject of Japan - Have you seen Jiro Dreams of Sushi?  It is fantastic!  And now I want maki rolls from Mitsuwa, ramen from Santouka and to shop Kinokuniya and Daiso since I won't be able to see Tokyo anytime soon >.<

Thanks Genevieve!  And you!  Buy a postcard!

Genevieve Santos: Postcard from Abroad

Genevieve Santos - the artist behind the super cute Le Petit Elefant illustrations and art has thee cutest idea in her shop right now.  For $8, you can buy a postcard from her while she's traveling for 5 months.    Each postcard will be a 4.25 x 5.5 piece of watercolor paper with a unique, one-of-a-kind, original illustration on the front. Genevieve will include a note or story about the illustration and its inspiration.
I could not resist, I bought one!  And you should too!  

Her first stop is The Philippines and I believe she will be hitting Japan and Korea too.  I can't wait to get mine!
