Have a luxurious cup of tea at home!

Mighty leaf tea! It's organic and one of the most expensive kinds you find at grocery stores. I felt very indulged buying this assortment pack for the first time...! Did I spend too much on teabag tea? But wait, think this way. It's like only 50 cents per each teabag. Think about having this for over $3 at the coffee shop....etc, etc.. (cheap excuses...) Taste? Of course it's goood. Oh boy, it might become my new habit..!

Also the other day I dropped by Book Off, the Japanese used book store in town, and found this metalsmith tutorial book! On top of gaining and brushing up various basic techniques including stone setting, I now know how to say tools and other metalsmith terms in Japanese:)


マイティリーフティ！マーケットでは一番高い部類のオーガニック紅茶ブランドです。アソートパックを初めて購入し、とっても贅沢な気分・・・！ティバッグの紅茶に浪費しちゃったかな。でも待てよ、考えようによっては、ティバック換算すると50セントだし、カフェだと3ドル以上はするし・・・などなど（安っぽい言い訳・・・）肝心のお味？もちろん美味です。ああ、新しい習慣になってしまいそう・・！

さて、先日ブックオフに立ち寄ってみたところ、彫金の本を発見！石留めや、いろんな基本的技術を磨ける上に、日本語での道具用語や技術用語が分かるので、とってもうれしい限り＾＾
