thank you 2010

Good bye 2010, you were not too perfect, but you were so lovely.

Wish all my friends and customers happy new year.

wanna be a cat

Ningyo Yamada

Cold night.  I miss holding a warm cat in winter.  

His name was Tetsu.

One day my sister called my office in Tokyo to tell me he had gone and she cried on the phone. 

He was laid to rest in the cemetery by my mother and sister.

If I can't get a cat now, what if I myself become a cat for two days.

For just two days, forget about everything - old invoices and tax things and just sleep deep as a cat.

snow day

Hope you had a wonderful holiday.  

I slept and slept during Christmas after making a lot of orders from stores before holiday.  Thank you so much customers who picked my jewelry for your holiday gifts. 

Today (snow day!) I somehow end up watching Joan Rivers documentary.  
Age 75 and she is still continuing.  
I will be dreaming my age 75 tonight.

cold!

This week will be freezing cold in NY.  Today, even the highest is only 24F.  

It equals to -4C, and again it's the highest, mother!  

.  

Under this cold weather there is no space for fashion for me - puffy black coat, gray sweater, long warm boots, muffler and hat.  No skin exposure, but here are tiny hidden sparkles on my ears saying I'm here!  

perspective

At jewelry district in NYC one lady was speaking to someone about her trip during the holiday.

"I'm going home in Switzerland this winter.  There is my once-a-year event.  I go skiing there, where I'm like this tiny in the big nature.  Then I can get my perspective back."

I envy her.
But I've been here for ten years.  My perspective was grown here, so I wonder if there is any perspective I should retrieve now.

Maybe I go Grand Canyon just to refresh.
