started thinking about christmas gifts

November 17, 2008 By Chie

today it my mother in law’s birthday. i sent her this pair of japanese room wear, called zouri to her. she liked them very much, and wanted more for the rest of the family. i got them from this shop.
the shop owner and i are friends, and we also live a block away from each other. she has zouri in many different colors, and you can request the color you want also.

i like this shop, washable art also. i think these cute soaps will make a great gift for my coworkers.
SweetBody and Naiad are nice shops too. their soaps are much more reasonable than lush.

i will be shopping a lot from beautymarkbeads as well! i love her jewelries. there will be a sale at her shop around thanksgiving, which im looking forward to.

my weekend

November 17, 2008 By Chie

weekends pass by so fast every weekend. i always wish it’s longer than it is!
my friend Kaitlyn came over from NY on Friday. Andy, Kaitlyn and I all went to see the new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace and i loved it! it didn’t get a good review, so i wasn’t sure what’s going to look like, but i thought it was great. loved it.

then i finished making this dress for my sister’s friend. she wanted it for a christmas party. i hope she’ll like it. it’s made out of little shinny satin, and lined.

then i went to the local thrift store and found these. $3 each!

i got a pair of black leather (i think it’s real leather… but i might be wrong) for $4. i’ve already started wearing them. can’t believe i got them so cheap! i havent taken a pic of them, but i will soon.

then andy and i took a long walk. we stop at this tea shop.
we had caramel chocolate tea and it was sooo good!

Sunday: ran 6 miles. im training for Broadstreet run.
then off to church:)
