summer is ending (sad)

OMG. summer is ending. it's always sad to feel summer is almost ending...

catalog

i have my own photographer to take photos of my merchandises. who? my lovely sister.  but actually her photos are too nice that they tend to leave everyone way too high expectation for my business... so it is good and bad to have nice images of your business. lesson learned. oh, one more thing. you can have highest expectation for my jewelry, though. it just my business that is not there yet.

shipments

receiving new shipments can never be too exciting. it's like how we feel on the morning of christmas day.

glass-working

i visited a glass-work studio in yamaguchi japan. the studio is in the middle of gorgeous mountains. visiting the studio was such a refreshing activity to me, who is always on a computer (for work and hobby) every day. 

these (in the pic) are the raw form of color glasses. so many color hues. so pretty to look at them.

next week, i will join them for glass-work workshop for beginners. i can't wait!!

stress releaser

you don't get to mess up your wall so often in your life. so when you do, do not hesitate.

already selling

these are from Gold Teeth Brooklyn. my customers in japan love these guys.

exhibition

yesterday, we (re:store souvenir and RE:STORE STUDIO) had an exhibition at this beautiful japanese den, SAIKOUTEI (yamaguchi, japan). we love the retro-classic feel of it. and we love how handmade jewelry and arts from new york look so good in this pure japanese setting.

retro eccentric

i always find these hidden advertisement gems just by walking around local areas in japan. it is definitely, genuine form of art and precious piece of treasure. 

trading space and work force (a fair game)

i have my temporary office set up at RE:STORE STUDIO, my business partner/a concept store based in yamaguchi, japan. so if you come to the store, you will most likely see me. they are using me as a store clerk, in return of me using their space as my business hub. this is what people call "trading."

japan

right now, i am on my long business trip to japan. during this time, i showcase my collection at my japanese partner store RE:STORE STUDIO.

my tool

i use this tool box that i found at a local hardware store to travel with my jewelry.
