in the mood for small talk



"in the mood for small talk"... yes, I am! I've got lovely postal mails from my girl friends living far away this week. I do feel like flying here and there for small but GOOD talk with them...
And lovely convos from  etsians did lift me up, too! Sarah (from Mouse Trap Vintage) & Beth (from SquidWhale Designs) made my treasury "night tales" part of their first blog post for the series "ETSY TREASURY FRIDAYS" <3  YEY!!! 
And my dearest customer Q, it's simply great to know that people appreciate what I do with passion.
Wish all of lovely ladies a happy Halloween !!!  Thanks you / ありがとう!!!

one morning

a slice of toasted yogurt bread and a cup of great coffee. the kitchen was filled with delightful aroma of both this morning. thanks to the home bakery... (one of our best buys last year) having fresh and fluffy bread without making a mess is simply wonderful !!

it's very windy and cloudy outside, took a quick walk to the post office to ship parcels out and found some beautiful stamps! soon, it's winter...

mellow yellows...

Gorgeous yellows that I've found on etsy today. It's been deliciously cool here and my treasury colors have become warmer spontaneously... Sit and sip serching for great items from all over the world is always so exciting and lifts me up in a big way, it's now like chromotherapy for me, I simply love it!!!

Happy October !!!

The current sharp YEN appreciation against USD does make things little tricky...But not doing anything proactive makes me feel even worse and I've decided to offer "Free World Wide Shipping " for a limited time from Oct.15 to Halloween. I'm crossing my fingers!!

Happy Birthday!!!

My new steam/dry cordless iron above is one of the delightful Birthday gifts from my "BEST" friend F. I LOVE the design and superb spec... everything is perfect for my creation!!!
All the lovely gifts with congrats messages from my precious family and friends are so touching. I'm simply so so happy...


Banko's new style

Bambina-Banko just had hair cut as hair-model for the first time at a pet grooming school. She loves people more than her fellows, got so excited to meet so many friendly young students there.
And Voila... it's beautifully done! Better than any grooming parlors we've ever been. Great work!!!..


Already mid-October

October is the most exciting month of the year for me ! Can't believe that it's already mid-Oct and two days left till my Birthday...  mmm...

Bon Voyage...

Leather craft class#1


I've made these coin purse and glasses case today. There're so many attractive leather pieces in various colors and texture in Sensei's storage, but I'm required to take 6 courses to learn all the basic with making predetermined items include today's two. The process is so simple for now but I had so much fun to use my new tools.
The atmosphere of the class is simply so nice, did enjoy good chat with ladies in all ages and Mrs.Nakao's superb lunch (the menu was Chirashizushi and kenchin-jiru)! Can't wait the 1st Monday in Nov....
