Hot Hot Hokkairo


Do you have one in your pocket?

This is what we call 'Hokkairo,' a disposable heatpad. It's filled with iron powder, water, vermiculite, activated carbon, salt. And for some reason when exposed to oxygen it warms up. It's great to put in your pocket, slap it on outer clothes, or inside your boots or shoes.

The great thing about Hokkairo is that it's sold in most convenient stores and only costs about 40yen.

Bare Branches


Ooh, it's cold outside! And for some reason, the bare branches make it seem even colder!

Brrrrr!

Happy New Year!


Happy New Year!

These are the Nengajo, new years postcards, I sent out to friends, family, and co-workers this year.


This is the year of the Tiger, incase you didn't notice. I spent a couple of days last week stamping away on these postcards. It takes a lot of time to send out handmade Nengajo's to everyone, but I think it's worth it.

It'll also be fun seeing all the different types of Nengajo we recieve this year. Wish you all a wonderful day to start off the new year!

Have you all made your new years resolution?
