大晦日

Today is the last day of the year 2010.

we usually called the last day of the year as 大晦日(oo-miso-ka) in Japanese language.

family members are getting together to have a bowl of hot noodles in the evening,

and welcoming for the brandnew year in the next day morning for the おせち料理 to celebrate for the Japanese New Year on the 1st day of January.

--------------

received a New Year card just on-time from Cecilia

Thank You^^

NEW to year 2011'

we are going to change some of the existing display items little by little from the lamp for the display table to the cushion cover.

---------------

...received a call from Baymie International Co., Ltd this afternoon about the enquiries for their artists would like to join petit morpho from next year.

(actually I seeked Baymie International is because of assisting our former artists to go for Japan Market; in return we gained quite alot of opportunities over there ..

...from the Owner Yummy herself to her company' artists)

--------------

at the same time, Kimono Designer' personal assistant contacted me for the Catelog shooting will be held in Hong Kong in the mid of April/2011', so this side project needs to seek for our well-known Make-up Artist and Photographers....

and need to arrange for the accomodation and the whole team' itinerary -_-"

--------------

I really want my own Personal Assistant -_-"

...indeed it is busiest than in working a full time as a Personal Assistant before.

now I understood of being a managerable person needs to be tough to handle varies tasks.

Christmas Pot

..dont know what to give to my Aunt for today's lunch gathering,

but at least buy something for her instead of nothing for this Christmas -_-"

How about a Christmas Pot ?!

it is specially arranged with lots of different Christmas seasonal plants, leaves, and berries to make it looks like a Christmas Tree....

..it looks not bad, pretty and presentable

from floral shop at IFC Mall

------------

next time I can grab some for the artist's welcoming gift from here!

apologized

...to our nearly comes to endagered species

- Shark -

for the "shark-fin soup"

it is NOT necessary to consume this kind of meal, very apologized and feel guilty of it

but it is what our relative gathering will take an order for every time -_-"

....definitely too heavy for the lunch to consume these,

with lots of dim-sum, and few huge volume of dishes.

-------------------

sigh~ I wanna go for "Christmas Buffet" instead of this heavy chinese cuisine -_-"

who paid for this more than $10,000 lunch gathering?!

I dont know....I dont like attending either, but because of my grandpa

....lucky to my dad and mom they dont need to attend, coz they are now spending a lovely Christmas in Japan; we all three (with brothers) need to represent my family to attend!

------------------

after this heavy lunch gathering.....

my partner and I went to Wanchai

....to consume a very cheapy meal to have a well-balance diet -_-"

where to have our next gathering at 年初ー?!

....once in a year would be fair enough!!

Moncler

my latest favourite for the winter MUST HAVE down jacket is from

"Moncler"

...it is a famous brand specialize for the down jacket;

however the designer turns the boring down jacket into stylish one with lots of fashionable elements, still it makes you warmth during the windy days!

--------------------

cool!!

next to my Jil Sander' winter jacket and peacoat;

Fred Perry, and AIGLE half down jacket;

I will definitely get this latest collection to add up in my closet^^

at least $7,000 for each,

please if you have time visit its boutique at IFC Mall or Joyce Boutique,

you will fall in LOVE!!

---------------

one of my little brothers had already owned his Moncler down jacket two years ago;

jealous -_-"

he is a rich young man ~

Handmade Calendar

....at the same time,

received a Handmade Calendar

from atelier g

please take a look in real and get inspired from her ideas!!

New Year Greeting Card is also beautiful.

Lucky to all who sent out a Christmas Card to her!!

....if you missed out this Greeting Cards Exchange Project, don't be disappointed!!

...No worries, coz we will arrange other similar projects in some other day!

Merry Christmas

26th (Sunday) supposed to open as usual,

however we need to have a lunch gathering with my grandpa

at 夏宮 in Shangri-La Hotel -_-"

(I was expecting to have a Christmas Buffet at least this western seasonal event....

again it is Chinese Cuisine

....so boring have to suit my grandpa')

---------------------

I need to grab a pot of Christmas floral arrangement

....as a gift to my Aunt on that day.

I am a Newbie

...on Facebook.

Yes it is late to open a Facebook Account,

it is because after reading "TIME" magazine selected the Person of the Year,

is the Founder of the Facebook

so it urged myself to see how its powerful function to connect people in the world.

------------------

connect me if you LIKE

"Shizue Takehara"

-----------------

I am a Newbie, so please allow me to study some of its function.
actually I dont like using Facebook to do any marketing for petit morpho,
so it is only used for my personal connection ^^

Thank You.

"petit morpho Japan"

it is for us to easily to clarify which artists are focusing on the Japan Market,

we set up "petit morpho Japan"

....to group them up for our future marketing strategy,

assisting them to promote their works in other countries more easily.

it is a brief information listing up,

....and we are scheduling to have our actual gallery space in Japan to make it more conglomerated with the Production House to manage side business at the same time.

--------------

actually from our initial planning, we are likely to seek a proper business partnership to take care of Hong Kong office is our ideal, so that we can focus more on Japan Market for the coming years; However if we found that the partnership is not likely to put the company and customers in their first priority in their mind, it is hardly difficult to keep it up is the truth.

-------------

anyways, we are trying our best to keep our spirit in our pace which is more easier and comfortable way; we will fly to Japan and some other countries often in the coming years, so please kindly forgive us for our limited hands we have to manage our artists' art-career path; and several events that we organized.

we wish we are able to use this kind of thick heavy cardstock for the invitation in some other day in the future....

eh ....how much for the cardstock for this thickness?!

--------------

the coincidence is knowing that one of my little brothers' girlfriend is a Fashion Buyer of Joyce...thats why he received quite alot of privilages of buying beautiful clothes and shoes hanging out for nearly 4 years...

tasty

Reeses reminds my campus life in Canada.

I was addicted to this peanut-butter choco, coz this is the only tasty snacks over there -_-"

you know the snacks variation is very very limited in the States, and Canada, thats why my mom usually shipped a huge box of Japanese snacks, and candies at that time.

-------------------

a Customer selected few wooden block stamps with this Christmas version Reeses choco during her stay in the States.

Thank You!

white tea

my tea-drinking habit changed from the Chinese Jasmine Tea to White Tea;

they are leaving this afternoon back to Japan.

Yummy was preparing a surprise gift using a fresh flowers for this time,

to our Hair & Make-up Artist: Mr. Chris Yu

for our next year' project moving lots of Professionals to make the event successful.

lots of business cooperation between them both in Japan,

...and in Hong Kong for the coming years.

Please come over to see this lovely gift prepared by Yummy.

She said although it is using fresh flowers, but it looks good after dried up for the decoration!

Yummy is very keen on both fresh flowers, and preserved flowers;

 similar to other industries it is rare to see a person keen on both techniques.

Chris is also very keen on both Hair & Make-up, thats why it is very rare to have a Professional good in both skills.

(most people in the market are just keen on one skill,

thats why they are very rare Professionals in the market)

introducing: Anna Cavaliere

Ms. Anna Cavaliere

.....is a Milliner from Italy

-----------------------------

She delivered (15) different shaped of unique hats in different colours in-store,

a French model who just finished the alteration in our neighbourhood, had already adopted this afternoon; and a young lady adopted few this late evening.

truely, I was a bit crazy in her hats when I was examining for each.

very charming in 360 degrees angle.

You would definitely fall in LOVE in her creations.

how prettiest she is as a model to present her Hats!

hurry up to grab a piece for your closet ^^

YES they are real

YES they are real from the fresh flowers....

but they will last for at least 5 years without any water

They are called "Preserved Flowers"

...and it is very commonly-known among all the Western countries and in Japan,

but still it is quite new to Hong Kong.

-------------------

Yummy is very popular in Japan, because of her unique creations to be given to all her clients, her fame is getting riched in various industries: wedding, hotel, cafe, boutique window-display, and collaborated with fashion people, and different shows/events.
