Happiness Apple

I bought this apple from a Chinese supermarket in Toronto called "Hong Tai".
I have no idea how they created the Chinese word effect on the fruit?
Maybe with a sticker and exposure to sunlight? Do have any ideas?
I am not a big fan of apples, but this one was extremely delicious it changed my
mind about apples! I asked my husband Suma to ask his Chinese colleagues about
the word on the apple and they said it means "Happiness"! So sweet!

Ring holder


This is how I organize my rings using an over sized
pincushion and some vintage decorative pins.
~
This pretty peach pincushion is handmade by my talented friend Ginny.
She is a ceramic artist and makes adorable fruit pincushions too.
The cute piggy pins are from an Etsy vintage shop called "EverySkimo"
which is always filled with eye-candy.


Hope you have a lovely day dear friends

New babies in my garden

A few new succulents are added to my windowsill garden.
Today is very cold in Toronto (Now it's -15°C)
Can you see the frost on the window?
This one looks so pretty from the top :)

And I love the gorgeous color of this one very much!
