I have one in my closet already saved for one lucky kid this christmas. I love Taro's books.

I love love love love this home. So welcoming.
I feel like coming over and hanging out!

Even though I'm not a cat person, I love those 3 cat bowls. Where did you get them?

I Love Etsy! Thanks for letting us look inside their office!

Looking at this on a daily basis will either drive me crazy.
I would frantically search for the eraser tool.

The ones in the hallway basically died too. But the one in front of the kitchen window are flourishing.

I finally get it (after killing 3) ^O^;

Hijiki is one of those all time family eats in our home. Very good with a bowl of hot gohan (rice). Yum.

That's very wrong.

The kind of home that make you sigh with relief once you enter the door. Thanks for the sharing.

I don't agree with the comment that furoshi-ki is an old persons thing to do. I along with my friends still enclose gifts and even food items in furoshiki.

It's very unfortunate to read from folks living in Japan that traditions like this is dying but I am proud to say that we here in the States are keeping the tradition alive and saving our planet at the same time.

We have been very fortunate to have always rented from friends or their parents. Our current home is owned by a very good friend of mine. He's been very accommodating even when my husband lost his job (gave us a break and that break still continues, luckily hubby is working now).

We are very very lucky.
