Cha Cha Club - July 2012

The rainy season has ended and it's getting hot again!
I had a tea ceremony wearing Ro kimono and Sha belt (summer silk kimono&belt).

Today's sweets were "RIKU NO HOUJU (Sacred gem of the earth)" by MINAMOTO KICCHOAN and "YUZU KOHAKU (Citrus amber)" by MIYAKO, Kyoto.

Today's flowers were rose of Sharon, Persicaria longiseta, Mizuhiki grass, bamboo grass, green foxtail, herringbone patterned silver grass, Job's tears, Japanese beautyberry and Tradescantia in a bamboo basket.

Today's tea case (natsume) was Kizo natsume because we had Tanabata festival in July.

Bayberries やまもも By Chi

Probably first bayberries in my life! It tastes slightly sweet and a little watery. But looks pretty, anyway♡ Good looks is pretty important, isn't it?

やまももを頂きました。おそらく、人生初のやまももです。ほのかに甘くて、少し水っぽい。でも、何と言っても、見た目がカワイイ♡やっぱり、見た目大事よね～（笑）

FUJIYAMA Cookies

We've got such pretty sweets from Mt. Fuji! Too pretty to eat! My friend selected adult tastes especially for us :) Elegant tastes for people like us!! Hehe.

すんごいカワイイ富士山のお土産を頂いちゃいました！可愛過ぎて食べるのがもったいない！わざわざ私たちのために大人な味を選んでくれました。大人な私たちにピッタリなエレガントな味わいでした（笑）

Afghan-tourmaline and pearl necklace By Chi

My first necklace with a beautiful stone "Afghan-tourmaline" and I put a pearl at the end of the adjuster so that I can enjoy the back of the necklace as well. I fell in love with the gentle green and pink colours in one stone at first sight♡

Tourmaline has a positive charge at one end and a negative one at the other, so it generates negative ions on frictions. And it is believed to be a powerful healer and a cleanser.

Can't wait to wear it!

初ネックレス！
アフガントルマリンを正面に、淡水パールをアジャスターの先に着けて、後ろからも楽しめるようにしました。この淡いグリーンにピンクが混ざっている石に一目惚れしてしまいました♡

トルマリンは、両端にプラスとマイナスを帯電し、摩擦でマイナスイオンを発生させるんだって。だから、癒しと浄化の作用があるんだって。

着けるのが楽しみ～！
