My ETSYShop...FINALLY OPEN!!!

My etsyshop officially runs for business.

This afternoon, my mom suddenly told me that today (30 April) is a good day to start business based on chinese calender. Since I did not want to miss the good time, in the last couple hours, Julien and me, we are busy preparing my first online shop - PYONG BRICOLE. Fortunately, today afternoon, the sun is very friendly. It keeps its bright light until 8 PM something.

By the time I publish this post, my shop already run for about 1.5 hours. Today's theme is SAKURA FLOWS. I started my shop with 3 items :

(From left to right : Elisa Bags, Purse and Regina Bags)

There are more beautiful bags on the way to my shop, meanwhile.....thank you for all of your supports. Special thanks for all FAM member's....and for Julien for all his support, time and patient for my bag making activities.....

Japanese Cooking (the arts)

Pyong loves to eat.....so do I. My very favorite cuisine is Italian's, what else can be better. But, I never forget where I came from, of course I also love asian cooking with once condition....no spicy and oily foods. That's why I love Japanese cooking.....light, delicious, fresh and CUTE. Talking about cute food, today, my friend forwarded me an email full with pictures of cute foods, and now....I also want to share it with all of you... BON APPETIT!!!!!!!

Royal Family. Sushi decorated in a Japanese traditional yellowish (should be goldish) wears...in this case, the omelette is used to give the goldish tones. Smart idea!!!

As I remember, the story should be about 3 little pigs fighting against an evil wolf. But in this case, one of the pig got sun burn so badly that's why it's turned to be brown pig.I like the way they decorated the omelette with the nori, it gave a tone seems like it's a bi-color kimono lol

I call it Inari on the beach lol....look at how they use those inari pocket to be the beach long chair...it's cool, creative, the most important thing...it looks super duper delicious...................

Beautiful cup of coffee

What a beautiful cup of coffee...sometimes I wonder, is a shape or a design of a cup could affect the taste of the coffee.....if so, I think Starbucks needs to change the design of its paper cups or mugs lol

Last weekend, when I visited Italy, I happened to stop by at a local cafe and ordered an Cafe Latte Machiatto. My husband ordered a special cold latte and it came in a very contemporary design mug, and me, they put my hot latte into this special colorful mug. First impression, this latte is special. Then I take a picture of the mug before I have a sip on it. The cafe latte machiatto turned our to be super delicious, sorry Starbucks, there was no Starbucks at all at Domodosolla....Don't get confused, I am a Starbucks' coffee lover. I only go to the other cafe when I know there is no Starbucks cafe around.

Is really the machiatto taste so good because of the mug they used or because they use a better bean than Starbucks? If the second answer makes more sense, then I think, the manager of Starbucks needs to contact this cafe's owner to ask where they got their bean from...but from what I sensed, I think they use some kind of Starbuck's Verona coffee instead of the espresso roast....

HEY STARBUCKS, D'YOU HEAR ME?? CAN YOU TRY ONE TIME MAKING THE LATTE BUT USING THE VERONA BEAN INSTEAD??? LOL

I am so 'famous' in Italy....

You can find my name, almost everywhere, in Italy...thanks for my parents who chose such name for me. This picture was taking near the weekend market in Domodosolla in the north of Italy.

'Childhood Romance'

Me, PYONG BRICOLE, decided to grant this photo with the title of 'Childhood Romance' even though there is no romance involved in this picture taking lol. My son is accidently gave me a chance to take his romantic' scene with the daughter of his god father. It's actually a usual kiss, just a normal one, it's just a great coincidence that I set my camera for a black and white picture by the time I took this picture, and with such lighting in the room, it create a vintage like poster image of little boy and girl kissing. Whatever is that, the most important...they are both cute.....and the picture is great...what do you think??? lol

The little Chloe.......

This is Chloe Bonvin, the little sister of Elisa. By the time, I write this blog, she is almost 2-day old. Chloe is the youngest daughter of Sebastien's god father, who is also the god son of Julien....lol very complicated huh? anyway, the point of this conversation is about CHLOE.

We went to visit her today, Alex, Chloe's mom, got installed at room 519 at the bed next to the door... (at the very same bed and room as when I delivered Sebastien). Mother and daughter are in a very good condition, you should see how that little girl drinks her bottle and she eats well already (not like Sebastien who kept doing the hunger strike...he made the mid-wife threaten me to send him back to the hospital if he kept losing weight)

Gosh....you should see her...she is so small, so cute....and very calm....she look almost a like with Elisa when she was born, we tried to compare the picture of elisa when she was born and Chloe...they look like a twin.Well, Chloe...hope you will be as pretty as your sister (or prettier perhaps) when you grow up. Not only me, Regina and Sebastien also can not wait to see you grow up as a big girl so we can play with you (together)...

                                                                                          

Size 1/10...that's it!!!

I said nothing about going to the boutique of Jean-Noel, all she knew was that we were going to visit a friend who just delivered a baby at the hospital. When we arrived at old part of Sion, she asked me where would we go, becuase she knows that hospital is not situated at the center of the city.

We arrived, not only her, I was surprised when I saw the boutique. Gosh..it's rustic, but it has its charm. An old boutique filled with all sizes of violin and cello...not finished yet....then Jean-Noel took us down to the basement where he keeps all his collections...it's like a dream, for me, to be in that kind of room...it's beautiful!!!

First, we tried a 1/16 for Regina...it ended up too small for her...1/10 is perfect, but perhaps something a bit bigger...1/8...no no....too big...ok..back to the 1/10. Fix left, right...adjust the cord one, two, three...give a bit try..and the cello ready to be brought home with Regina. She gave name to her new instrument right away....it calls QUINCY....give a big warm welcome to QUINCY everbody.....lol

Who is the real vilain?

  If the animal hurts us, that means it is a vilain, and, we said, we are allowed to hurt animal because it's for self-defence. Yeah right, we can have a right to self-defense , but animal can not...I wonder...who is the real vilain then?

Family day around Martigny......(everybody was happy)

Starting with a beautiful sunny day, we did not know what we will do...and suddenly, we think about going to Marche du Grand St.Bernard at Martigny for a quick lunch and followed by a short walk around that area. Before finished the lunch, Sebastien cried to go out side to play at the park. It's one of the chaotic lunch I ever had. So ended up, everybody had a speedy lunch and went to the park right away. While Julien surveyed Regina and Sebastien, I went to the car to pick up the 'other' baby...PATAUD. Once he arrived at the park, he concentrated to the lake in front of park right away....after 5 seconds, he's in the water..... swimming.....ok..in this case at least 3 people happy - Regina, Sebastien and Pataud.

From there, we took a short drive to Pissevache, it's a small cascade in the middle of nowhere. We spent about 10 minutes there, just to enjoy the view and let the dog got himself in the water again. The way he stay in the water, did you think he looks like the brown bear tried to catch fresh water salmon...except his tail is longer ;)

Final destination...Labyrinthe Adventure Parc...this is a small 'theme' park where all the toys are designed based on the labyrinth's rules....complicated and easy to get lost. Everybody enjoy a piece of the game down there except me and Pataud. Me, because I got hurt both of my legs after moving so much the whole day and Pataud because dog is not allowed to enter (even the small one and very friendly one......guess nobody want to clean their poop)
