A few days before my birthday we went on a trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake with Marc’s family, who came all the day from England to visit us. Off the main street we found a great little shop that specializes in selling Japan-imported goods (From Japan Inc. – http://www.fromjapaninc.com). I was asked to go and wait outside while everybody was choosing a birthday card for me amongst the amazing selection of “Made in Tokyo” stationery. Above is the 3 cards that they chose. I really like them and think they’re very pretty and different from the generic Hallmark card… Even the paper feels nicer!
The other highlight of our trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake was — and this isn’t design-related — a visit to the Inniskillin estate, our favourite winery (http://www.inniskillin.com) where we got a few bottles of our usual (Late Autumn Riesling), a Riesling from the Reserve Collection and discovered the Pinot Noir Rosé! All 3 are strongly recommended by Yellow Car Design …
