Weekend window-shopping over the weekend and this yellow motorbike (and the tiny yellow sign in the background) caught my attention.

A lot of motorcyle bikes for sale along Sihanouk Boulevard.

Monday Mellow Yellows: Home stuff

I was window-shopping with a friend the other day. We went to this French-sounding shop in Tuol Tumpong area that sells lovely home stuff!

Pretty coffee mugs and tea infusers.

Most of the products are from Korea – and when it’s from Korea, it’s guaranteed cuteness written all over them! So, naturally, I wanted to buy everything I saw, lol. Anyways, I didn’t go home empty-handed. I bought a silicon basting brush, a gold ink stamp pad and some cute pens.

Monday Mellow Yellows: Knick-knacks at the counter

Hello and Happy New Year.

It took me awhile to go back to blogging. I wanted a looooong holiday before beginning another year of photos. I spent a long time re-organising my craft room-cum-home office. I re-arranged the furniture and brought in the secondhand table with drawers (it’s massive) and cabinet organizers where my stuff will finally be organised and kept. My vintage sewing machine is still here, hopefully, it won’t be gathering dust this year as I plan on cranking in some simple sewing work. I also have calligraphy tools which were sent (presents) from my baby sister. It is my goal that I’d be good at calligraphy and, perhaps, get commissioned to do some calligraphy works this year 🙂

After huffing and puffing from all the lifting furniture and dusting and re-organising, my husband treated me to a burger meal. Where else but, of course, at our favourite burger joint in town.

The counter, from where I’m sitting. Lots of yellow knick-knacks displayed there.

This is Mike’s Burger House in Camko City. This is the second branch and still the best place to find American-style fast-food burgers in Phnom Penh.

The first batch of my handmade holiday cards. Hope they reach their intended destinations.

Holiday cards on their way to their respective destinations around the world.

I made use of my metallic pens and black card stock that I already have.
And, because I do not have proper calligraphy tools, I cheated! I call this faux-calligraphy. At least I tried and I think they kinda look the nice, lol. And if you’re not really convinced, well, it’s the thought that counts! *wink-wink*

Living in a Buddhist country where Christmas is not celebrated doesn’t mean we can’t join in the celebration in this most wonderful time of the year. Happy holidays everyone!
