Swearing; it doesn't suit you.



Like the Japanese, Filipino's love karaoke. So needless to say, I love this! Apologies for the bad language homies.

Cookie Boy クッキーボーイ








Story

ある日、記念日にクッキーを作ってプレゼントした。
箱を開けた瞬間の子どものような笑顔が、うれしかった。
アートな食感に目覚め、お菓子を独学で創る日々。
過去に学んできたテキスタイルデザインの技術を生かし、型をつくり線を描いていく。
食べることで近づくモノとの距離。
クッキーが口の中で溶けるように、人と人の気持ちがほどけてゆく。
僕は、クッキーというキャンバスを見つけた


As the beginning of the Easter weekend approaches I can't help but think of chocolates, spicy hot cross buns and other sweet treats.

However, I am sure you will all agree that these wonderful cookies by Cookieboy are much nicer than any old foil wrapped egg. And even better, cookies are enjoyed all year round!

You can visit the Cookieboy's blog here

Help Japan




(Image source: Japan will blossom again)



As you may have noticed I am rather smitten with Japan, so it really does break my heart to see what has happened and I send my thoughts, prayers and condolences to the people affected by this disaster.

For those who wish to help:


You can make a donation to the Japan and Pacific Disaster Appeal with Australia Red Cross. 'The funds raised through this appeal will be used to support communities affected by the earthquake in Japan and the resultant tsunami that reached numerous countries around the Pacific Rim and within the Pacific Ocean.'

Readers from the USA may like to visit the American Red Cross


Or you could purchase one of Hilda Grahnat's beautiful prints or postcards sets here. All proceeds go direclty to Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief through the Japan Red Cross Society.


You could also visit  here and purchase a beautiful set of postcards designed by Catkin and Teasel. 100% of the proceeds go to the Australian Red Cross, who are directly aiding the Japan Red Cross Society.


And the lovely Hello Sandwich is selling her Hello Sandwich Gift Wrapping Zine (highly recommended!) for $5.00 as an instant download PDF file. All of the money raised will be donated to the Red Cross.

And lately, the adorable online shop Genki is donating all profits for this week to the relief effort in Japan.

Sending of lots of love and positive thoughts from Australia to my beloved Japan! xxx

Happy Tabako


Even the cigarette butts are happy in Tokyo.

Please note, I am by no means encouraging anyone to smoke!
