This morning I cleaned this new set of colorful Russian stacking doll style food containers that my roomate bought. As I was washing them I thought about how these match the aesthetic of the fake kitchen sets I would play with as a kid.

I remember my childhood best friend had these at her house, her mother was a painter and rode her bike around town in heeled garden clogs, she wore lipstick everyday and it was always all over her toothbrush. coming from a tupperware home, these jars felt special, and cold leftovers tasted better eaten straight out of them. I don’t currently own any but I think I’ll buy a set when I’m done moving around.

Went to an exhibition in London this weekend that was all japanese plastic food made to be displayed in restaurant windows. Super cool to see the process of how it's made. I love sculpting and modeling so it's right up my street. I also think there's something quite nostalgic about it because of it's similarity to the plastic toy food we would play with as kids.

Despite reading, and then re-reading, and then re-reading a Terence Conran coffee table book as a child, I have absolutely zero interior design sense. Several years ago I started buying ceramic fruits and vegetables as a joke. Doofpot in Greenport N.Y. was a mecca for Italian ceramics before it closed in 2019; now I spend days scouring Etsy for a perfectly plump tomato. Each one is completely ludicrous and absurd, but they make me laugh. There is obviously some symbolism at play here, trying to freeze a moment of ripeness and wholeness in time.
