Harvesting season

It's the end of rainy season in Thailand. Everywhere in the rice paddy field is beautifully gold. I can't help but feel very happy everytime I drove pass it. No matter how bad the world economy is, we are very lucky to be in a place where we can grow everything we eat!

In this part of the world...it seems far away from the other world we saw in the news. Life is very simple and uneffected by stock market or exchange rate.

People work very hard in the field each day but you can hardly hear any complain...No matter how hot and heavy life may seem, we can still see a big smile and hear genuine laughs.

Harvesting time is approaching...we count the abundance that we have. We feel very thankful and grateful for our surrounding...
It's the satisfied mind...it's the simplicity in everything that bring happiness...

A perfect outfit...

I just listed the adapted version of bloomer pants. This one with the long and loose look. Feels just like skirt. Super sweet!

While making it, I think about making the clothes as a whole outfit. Sell them as a set. The idea started from hearing a few clients who request for matching top. Many said they like to get a whole set becos it's very hard to find a piece to match the style of clothing we make, in the west.




So I try with our new balloon sleeve boho print blouse. Dye it in brown.


It has the same bloomer look, and this blouse has a bit of pleated detail as well. Turned out, they match each other perfectly! in my opinion anyways.




So here it is upon request. Please tell us what you think. We'd like to come up with mix style. Sometimes contrast - sometimes coordinate.


Keep experimenting and try new thing :-)
And we came up with this great embroidered top that go so well with this pants!

Curtain collection


Greeting from the sunny Thailand!

I want to say thank you for the feedback we got from our last "vegetarian" promotion. Sadly, it ended today...though stay tune for the new promotion. We will come up with something fun regularly.

We just finish a few pieces from the "curtain collection" that I mentioned last month. Please check them out.


They are super cute and made of very very soft cotton. Extremely comfortable and unique. Perfect top for jeans lover.

Also I have quite a few client asking for more of this "Misty Morning" dress.
We are making more of it but due to limited crochet piece we have left, we will be able to make 3-4 dresses only. If you know for sure you want one, please drop a note here, or my email so I can reserve it for you.

Thanks again. It's been a great beginning for our etsy store :-)
