Mustoy Cafe!

My friends and I were found lurking outside the windows of Mustoy in Hongdae a few days ago and the sweetest lady, Alisa,  asked us to come in and take pictures! This is an awesome art cafe where you can either purchase your Mustoy doll and color it and keep it forever (W15000), or you can paint one for W5000 and leave it there for others to enjoy.
On one wall they have true Artist Mustoy doll's that are freaking AMAZING. On the other wall she called them "regular people." I made reservations for Friday (Also Micaela's B-day party day) We each colored a doll and enjoyed a beverage. Alisa wasn't scheduled to work but came in anyway just to say hi to us. We felt very welcome and had an awesome time. I bought mine and took it home.

Directions: Take Hongik University Exit 9 go left.  Turn right at the last road. Go up the hill stay to the left and Mustoy is right before the top of the hill. (You don't need to make reservations, it's only a good idea if you are taking a large group.)
Enjoy!

 So amazing!



 This one is mine, back and front :)






The owner had pictures with him and famous people so we had to get one with him too!

Hello everyone :) Thank you to all who put the cool points on the sneak peek of the Schmidt family portraits!  It's officially hot here in Korea and lucky for me I get to work in my air conditioned office :P I finished the Schmidt portraits last night and just in time too because my husband walked in the door from being away at work all week! YAY! You are going to love this family, seriously so sweet and these little girls are the CUTEST!!!!

Gerta is a Senior!!!

This post is a special one because I am friends with this young lady and her wonderful mom. :) Gerta, I just want to wish you all the best in your next big adventure! I know you are going to rock the heck out of college and someday I will see you on billboards as the one who "saved our planet through recycling!"  Never lose that radiant light that you always have!  Lots of love to you!
Enjoy!
