Artistic Lunch: Polar Bear Bento
I found a collection of out of control beautiful bento box lunches by a loving mother who would conquer the world if she wanted to. But all she wants to do is make nice lunch boxes for her kid, and how brilliant is that? Honestly artistic lunches are the ultimate in transient art!
I remember getting similar - but nowhere near as detailed- types of lunch box kawaii (cuteness) when I was an exchange student way, way, way, way back in 1980. I never really appreciated all the fuss my host-mothers were going to to impress me. Young people are so casual and selfish! Or at least I was.
My lad is starting pre-school next January and there has been much flurry of activity regarding his enrollments. We have a go-see interview this coming Friday to an excellent school. Jack has already been accepted into a really fantastic school, but it is a little on the expensive side. The one on Friday is not so mega-buck, but has a stunning rep.

Ann Wood- blue roses
The sweetness in the world is almost overwhelming when you see it.
My mind immediately wants to deconstruct it though in a flurry of “okay, how did she make that? let’s see“.
What makes it frustrating and also very special is that this sort of beautiful, delicate and witty work sells out within minutes of being put up. They are precious.
So little time. So little time to even see it, let alone try to purchase or even to make an inspiration of it. Behold and be awed.
PS. Since the last post, indeed the said dossier has been sent to the Philippines. There remains a feeling of thank goodness. It took so long and so much effort! We have about a three month wait on our hands to receive a confirmation of yes or no from the Philippine government on our eligibility to adopt. So a Christmas present for us, perhaps?
