More Handmade in Nepal


It's time to make peanut butter and jam sandwich or PB&J. Does anyone want one or two? I typically like my PB&J on wheat bread with Bonne Maman blueberry jam. How do you like your PB&J?

These adorable sandwiches like soft toys with legs are super cute. You can support Nepal by purchasing these little guys at The Little Sparrow.

What gets you excited about life?

Everybody gets excited about something, right? I adore city LIFESTYLES. I can walk pretty much everywhere. Go to the malls, picking up fresh produces at the farmers' markets or go to the movie theaters. Everything is pretty much nearby. On weekends and holidays, I like to run along the shoreline and hike up the steps of Telegraph Hills.
How about you? What gets you excited about life?

A full day of activities

What do you have in mind? How about let's start the day with a nice cup of strong Russian tea just to wake myself up, two slices of toasted bread with two spoonfuls of raspberry jam, follow by read a cheesy mystery novel, a nice walk to an art gallery would be lovely too or do something good to the environment…such as "Save the Planet!" or "Stop Global Warming!". 

That is quiet a LIFESTYLES..wouldn't you agree? Check out these softies at Rag Pets.

Reunited with my old time favorites....

It has been 4 years since my last posting and I am super excited to be back!! Let's waste no time and get started with my first posting in 2015.

"Hazel Village's Max Raccoon has a hollow tree behind his house. He has installed numerous shelves and cubbyholes inside it, and he keeps the cool things that he finds there; bits of crockery that he makes into wind chimes, good paper bags he's saving, presents from his friends, jars of pickles and jam etc."

Each of their soft toys came with a story..check out Milo et Mimi.
