My husband makes me happy.

Blue water and blue skies makes me happy.

Fireworks make me happy.

Rock pools make me happy.

Being free on my own for a while makes me happy.

That first sip of tea in the morning makes me happy.

Travelling to new places and meeting new people makes me happy.

Kimono fabric makes me happy.

Japanese festivals make me happy.

My friends and family, my students, having time to create and discovering anything new, all make me happy.

Thank you to One Little Acorn for a marvelous, uplifting theme this week and to Angela for hosting the event.

What Made Me Smile This Week

A very generous package from Little Munchkins that included a gorgeous handmade pencil roll, all complete with Crayola pencils (I didn't even know that Crayola did pencils), crayola markers and a gorgeous little notebook.

How cute is that notebook?

Lunch in my favourite Mexican restaurant with a friend I haven't seen for ages.

New wooden getta sandals in a modern design to wear with my yukata this summer.

Finding Weis Mango Bars in a foreign food shop. Buying a box of them and sharing them with my friend after lunch.

A good teaching week.

My new kakigori machine.

Stumbling upon an old Aussie movie at the video shop.

The lovliest email and feedback from an Etsy customer.

Knowing that summer holidays are coming soon.

What made you smile last week?
