Beauty in the Ordinary

This is not about being brilliant, or extraordinary, it's not about wanting to be famous, or making headlines, or trying to impress...this about sharing a 'gift' each day with the world...to lift the spirit of people when they read this blog, to show them the beauty in the ordinary.
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." Raold Dahl

If...

If I baked bread to sell,
I would lovingly wrap each loaf
in a white linen bag...




If I baked cupcakes to sell,
I would package them in long-stem rose boxes
tied with a golden ribbon.







If I baked petit-fours to sell,


I would layer them in a 
Tiffany-style box, secured with a rich
white ribbon.





Life is only partly about the what...
 sometimes it is about how the what is packaged.

I think about this as my darling Japan is being
battered and bruised by Mother Nature.

No one understands the beauty of the package
better than the Japanese.


the art of furoshiki...


I'm holding my breath as the news rolls in on the waves of the tsunami.
