Little Gifts to Show We Care

Posted on July 15, 2014 by sara

We are back from our US adventure, jet lagged, tired, but full of love. I’m trying to get back on schedule, but that 12 hour time difference kicks me in the pants.

While we were gone we asked some friends to stay in our apartment to take care of our cat {she’s needy and hungry}. To say thank you we left a little welcome gift of Japanese chocolate covered potato chips. I wrapped them up with ribbon and a note.

For our friends and family in the US, we wanted to share a little taste of Asia. The green tea taste has won us over, so we got some mini green tea KitKats to hand out. I added our contact information to each package. I attached the strips with special edition washi tape of the Hong Kong Star Ferry and skyline.

We hope everyone enjoyed our gifts!

Homeward Bound

Posted on June 24, 2014 by sara

I’m racing off to catch a plane to the US. I’m excited to see my family and friends, eat some comfort food, and get some necessities. Posts might be spotty, but I’ll have some great things to share when I get back. I hope you will get time away and unplug these warm summer days!

Summer Dayz Popsicles

Posted on June 19, 2014 by sara

During these hot summer days I find that I’m craving something sweet and cold at the end of day. Let’s make some popsicles!

1. I made a few with fresh strawberries, pureed and pieces.

2. Pimm’s Cups are refreshing.

3. Coconut water is hydrating, so it would make an excellent popsicle.

Party Themes I Gotta Try

Posted on June 17, 2014 by sara

I’m always looking for an excuse to throw a party, host friends, or make someone feel special. These ideas would be so much fun.

Living in Hong Kong, there is lots of to-and-fro. These invitation are amazing.

Do you have too many books and nothing to read? Me too.

A seriously healthy birthday cake. It’s pretty, but…oh.

And always, treat yo self.

Flower Obsession

Posted on June 12, 2014 by sara

Around Japan I saw little nosegays of flowers at every corner market, perfectly wrapped up. I’ve been eying them every since. I love the patterned paper with the colorful blooms. I’m definitely trying this, as a small gift or decorations at a party.
