The Secret Piece

Unlock the lock of the secret garden in your heart, fill it with the antique romance that is sometimes sad and sometimes sweet.

秘かに秘密の庭の鍵をあけてご覧。。時には酸っぱい、時には甘いアンティークの香りで包んみあげてください。

Flourish it with the golden rose and kortrijk soul.

柔らかく照らす薔薇の色とコルトレイクの宝で満ちて、

Allow your day to be special in all ways.

素敵なひと時を過ごすようと願います。

Practice open heart. Practice gratitude.

~~~

Every morning,

I OPEN MY HEART.

And ASK.

I ask for Inspiration. Guidance. Courage.

I ask for good work to come through.

Patience to deal with difficult people.

Perseverance through a tough patch.

Joy when I'm feeling persnickety.

Clarity and creativity for a productive work day.

Every morning,

I IMAGINE how I want to live my life.

And BELIEVE

the universe will provide a path.

~~~

Every night, before bed,

I say THANK YOU.

I think of what gave me JOY,

and thank the universe for the

BLESSINGS OF THE DAY.

For a job well done, a smile of support.

Safe travels through the rain.

My loving little sis's visit from Tokyo!

{xoxo}

Loving words from my dear husband.

I GIVE THANKS

for my health, my body, my four limbs, my heart, my mind.

Every night, I call to mind

the BOUNTIFULNESS of the universe,

and feel immense gratitude for

this WONDERFUL LIFE I have.

~~~

I started this practice a few months ago, when I was in a rut. And it brought hope and peace to my heart.

Pillow Beds for your Petit Bijou

I have always wanted something different for my babies. Where I came up to this beautiful pillow beds for dogs♫ The blue one is made with souleiado flower print fabric to achieve an european taste. The hand stitches gives an accent to the bed, where a more vintage touch can be gain after washed. The decorated ribbon can be a chewing toy for your baby and also helps to gain a more vintage look after chewed!! The more you used it, the more valuable it gets♪

While the beige one is made with liberty flower print fabric and purple stripe fabric to give it a vintage touch. The soft beige tone is so natural that it can be also a decorating piece for the interior♫ Both of these can be found at my doggie wears brand, 'Piccola Nuvola'♫

Something that comes in beautiful worth much more

Got this unique ring from Cerasus today that comes together with the box and dry flowers in it. 'Cerasus' is the accessory line for ladies wear 'Vlas Blomme'. A brand that is very unique and really putted lots of effect on every piece of design. Not only on the product itself but also for the total package. From materials to craftmanship, from designs to package, everything makes the pieces worth a thousand more.

They also appreciate other designers a lot. Where they do collabrations with a lot of other designers together to exchange ideas and to creat more interesting pieces that are more like art than just a product. Like this wreath that I got was a collabration with a garden designer and also a plant coordinator called 'Green Fingers'. So beautifully made that will surely be a piece that I will like to put up every christmas♪

Kotori Flower Shop

I'm not at all a fan nor an expert for gardening. I seldom buy flowers for I never like it when they die out, and I'm not that good at remembering to water them either... I think that's why I rather like dry flowers or preserved ones that are nice to decorate and easy to take care of. ( You just dust them :p)

But this flower shop I came across from the net is so beautiful. The mood and taste is what I love♡ Through it, I got lots of inspirations on the idea to decorate my house! (Even if I may not be using flowers or plants...) I think their pictures are so nice that I really want to share. Hope you will like it too - Kotori Flower Shop (The Little Bird Flower Shop)

Slippers for a rainy day

It was a dreary, rainy weekend in San Francisco after l'il sis left. I hunkered down at home, and went to work with my hands. And here's the result! A cute footsie of smiles for a rainy day!

As a starting point, I found a cute pattern on Sugar'n Cream's website. But I wanted to use some odd skeins of leftover yarn, so I had to improvise in terms of the color patterns. My color scheme looked a little too old and "granny-like," so I decided to put the flower off-center to make it more lively. I also added a little Maryjane strap to make it look cuter—and also to help keep it on my feet better! This also allowed me to use some buttons that's been sitting in my craft box for over 10 years!
