birthstone bracelet.


Hi, there! Good afternoon. I've just woke up from my drowsiness.
hehe >-(Spring makes me lazy..laaazzzziiyyyzzzzzz)
Hope your afternoon is fine.
Today, I want to write abt birthstone bracelet which is put on a desk of main reception
I realized that the bracelets was made by shu, the owner of this hostel, today and suprized.
Since It's quite hard to imagine mr.owner making bracelet from his looking (he looks macho, rather than feminine one)
So i asked and found out that it wasn't just an accessory, but an bracelet having a meaning. According to him, In buddhism, the birthstone bracelet is said that it works as a amulet.
For example, Garnet, which is a birthstone of Jan is said to carry you a sincerity and happiness. And, Amnthyst, a birthstone pf Feb is believed to bring you a wealth and humility. And My birthstone, Turquoise, it has the symbolization of prosperity, hope and success.
perhaps, should i ask him for one of Turquoise one?
Coz I'm financially broken thesedays. lol-
Please pay attention to the display window of birthstone bracelet, when you drop by main reception. hehe.
Have a nice day.

How are you, everyone?
We,Ikoi-no-ie, are good.
But, There was a litte change in our hostel.
Could you guess?
Our staffs begin to wear kimono, the traditional clothes of japan. hehe
It's really good to work in kimono.
We be a !!STAR!! on the street..
(>_<)
But hopefully, we change our uniform(kimono) to yukata????
Summer is coming
and since to wear kimono formally, we should wear underwear called eri, and outwear on it, which has long sleeves.........
guesses we are gonna die,
if ms.Asada(owner) doesn' want us to change our clothes in the summer?0_0??
kidding. hehe
have a nice day

Our staff and guests experienced the mochi-tsuki to celebrate our 5th opening day on 15th!
The event was hold during a whole day.
Everybody here pounded mochi to make some rice cakes all together .
Seems fun and looked so yummy...
Owner said they couldn't make it very well this time
because some rices still remained as it is in the rice cake
and hope for meking the best rice cake next time...
But I here again, missed the chance to take part in the event because I worked at the night on the day.
That's what it is...
