Candies for My Fingers


Do you have a crave for those colorful and intrigue triangle patterns like kaleidoscope? I have to admit that I can't resist anything as cute as this!

Eva at nomilktoday makes lovely jewelry from necklaces, brooches, rings to bobby pins with polymer clay in all happy colors (I'm sure her studio would look like a part of heaven!), everything is one-of-a-kind design that's handcrafted with love and care. Recently I bugged her to make me a customized double ring and it turns out so cute, can't wait to see it in person and put on my fingers.






If you haven't seen them on Etsy you must have missed out a lot, everything listed in store were sold out so quickly. But no worries, Eva is super friendly and nice to work with, you may wanna convo her for the next custom order and I'm pretty sure you will feel in love with these eye candies too.

A Different Donkey


You may have seen this funny teabags when the wedding was still hot in the news. I recently found this "100% German design" company Donkey-Products who designed and made Katea & William, they actually have more innovative fun gifts to offer. Here are just a few of my favorites...
High tea with Audrey is no longer a dream. Hopefully this will be back in stock soon.
In a hurry for celebration with your loved one but don't want to smash a real cake on the way?
This will be the best to-go choice :)
Organize your life so give yourself a ticket everyday :)
If you also have the habit of writing / doodling on napkin like me.
Why do you need a light bulb when you have a candle like this?!
It's tea time now! Hope you all have fun.

As Far As Your Eyes Can Reach...

... the world is so colorful on a sunny afternoon.

I drew inspiration from this shot of an amazing garden in Tokyo, and started an image hunt for a blast of colors.

A Little Blurb

I am starting this blog to share inspirations, loving objects, wonderful finds, day dreams, and maybe some DIY projects as well.

So if you happen to drop by and would like to follow, please leave me some advice or let me know what you would love to see here, your comments and suggestions will be highly appreciated. Come join me and see how far we roll!

A Sunny Day in the Park

Sakura sakura...

In Toronto we are lucky enough to have the beautiful cherry blossom season every year now, which indicates the arrival of spring. Yes it's a lot later then the west coast and anywhere in the south, but finally, it's here! 

Different from our tradition (intensively holding up the cameras and busy switching lenses) in the past years, we skipped the weekend peaks, sat down for a mini picnic under the trees, and really got to enjoy the blue sky decorated with pale pink petals.


This turned out to be my inspiration for next photo-shoot :)


Sakura - Cherry Blossom
Can't help falling in love with this amazing plant, she's always on top of My Favorite list.

The Blue Pink Sky
There comes the moon! Hope you enjoy a lovely spring too.


* This post is dedicated for my beloved Mami, for it's her birthday today. I can't spend the day with her this year but I promise myself to celebrate her next birthday together under these cherry blossom trees!
