ice balls

I bought a ice ball tray in Japan. I remenber there were always ice balls in grandpas's freezer and in summer time I took ice in a mouth to cool down. Ball ice, there're something about it for me.

A glass of orange juice with plenty of ice to refesh.

I can't think about anything......very hot today.
I decided to take my boys to river this aftermoon.
Get cool air, play water and BBQ.
That's it!!!

There are something reassuring about handmade, I’m thinking each of my friend and add extra love to my cards:)

Japanese living magazine

I love reading books and magazes especially interior, house magazines.
Recent trip to Japan, I bought lots of Japanese magazines.
I love to introduce one of my favorite.

This magazine is about the stories of various peaple and thier everyday routines with their office, atelier and living space.

12 Peaple appearing in the book are Japanese ceramic artist, photographer, interior shop owner, architect etc, I want to steal their cool living style! Most of there interior style are base on natural and fine balance of new and old style. This magazine is inspiring for me:) and I love their Japanes ceramics.

The magazine is written in Japanese but I think still can enjoy looking at photos.
87 pages , all color pages ,A4size

nostalgic for the place.
