Peter

Uncle Peter is one of THE inspirations for me.

He truly was the most special man I've ever met,

and I honestly don't think I can meet someone like him again in my lifetime.

Birds and Branches

A plain lamp shade from IKEA

turned into a piece of art!

Title: Birds and Branches

Materials: Flower petals and branches that fell off on the floor

from a flower bouquet

Inspirations: Recycling beautifully dried petals, Japanese lanterns,

bamboo trees and sakura flowers

Outdoor Hot Spring

What could possibly make me feel better than

being in the outdoor hot spring?

(especially when it's really cold outside)

...I'd say nothing.

The experience is truly out of this world.

Ah, but I just remembered a comparable(or even superior) one-

Getting a good massage.

Pretty Umbrella

I want pretty umbrellas that will make my rainy days a tad brighter-

they aren't easy to be found...

What's this gadget...

Aprons

Another random item I love is aprons.

I even have my custom apron monogrammed in Italy.

Seems like I'm not the only one who feels special about aprons:

But I hate doing the dishes.

Wearing a pretty apron makes me feel better about doing it just as
a pretty umbrella can make rainy days a bit more enjoyable.

Canvas Tote

I don't know why but I just love sturdy, medium/large-sized canvas totes.

They are simple, extremely practical, and

have plenty of room for variations, designs, customizations.

I especially love the trapezoid-shaped totes.

Endless world of totes

Co-Sleeper

So chic & cute
