Gift

I just wanted to share these with everyone...
These tulips are a gift from my friend.
I couldn't wait to take photos of them and post to my blog!!

Thyme

I love going to the farmer's market, especially in the Spring....
This is another plant that I bought from the market on Saturday.
Their leaves are so tiny...

my shell collection

when I saw this post, I recalled my hometown in Japan.
Thank you for sharing beautiful photos, Jane! I always collect shells
when I go back there... My shell collection is one of my treasures!

Flower Field2- giraffe

I made origami giraffes.
These are made out of fabric.. not paper!
Well, I guess they were playing each other in the flower field....

Flower field1

I bought this flower plant at the farmer's market yesterday.
They caught my attention and I was glad that I got it!
Flowers always cheer me up when I am down.

** I am in the process of updating my website and online store.
I will let you know when I am done!

I went to the Kimono Fashion Show the other day . I was so inspired and at the same time it reminded me of some kimonos which I have in Japan. I always wanted to take a tea ceremony class so that I could have more opportunities to wear them.... maybe some day...

Snow in March

It was snowing this morning... pretty light snow....

Cucumber

I just found these photos in a folder on my computer.
These look like cucumber to me...

Thank you so much for all your comments about my new logo!
I think I will keep both of logos "n" & "natsumi" for now...

product tag

I have been working on a tag for my new product.
These are not jellyfish but flowers!
I also changed my logo. Just using my first name...
I thought this might be easier for people to remember.
What do you think?
