La Petit Mumu

It pays to be curious.

While browsing and making a mental notes of what I liked in Kapok Lifestyle Store in Sun Street, a certain area of the shop slash cafe was being prepped for what looked like a launch.
I approached the lady, who uncannily resembles Armi Millare of Up Dharma Down, arranging the dolls.

This lady turned out to be Fion Ko, illustrator and creator of Le Petit Mumu.

I chatted with her a bit and learned that she just finished an exhibition of her illustrations in Taiwan and went back to Hong Kong, her hometown, to work with a toy manufacturer to create a second run of limited edittion Mumu toys. Instantly I became a fan. She asked me to stay and have cupcakes and tea.

Ellerman on Tung St.


Ellerman is primarily a flower shop but they also sell the sweetest objects. I love shops like these that are tucked away off busy streets.

Curios City

I'm a fan of printed paper and curiousities. 
So it was inevitable that Hollywood Rd. would pull me like a magnet.
