It's mid-October, and autumn is quietly deepening, with the gentle light of Halloween beginning to illuminate our hearts.
We received an adorable gift, spun by farmer Hiroko Kawada with her magical hands.
Each pumpkin patchwork coaster is meticulously handcrafted. Smiling pumpkins and a playful black cat. Just looking at their warm expressions will make your heart melt.
Once you decorate your entrance, it's like a little autumn fairy tale world, with cheerful pumpkins and cats welcoming all visitors with smiles.
And home-grown pumpkins and sweet potatoes, straight from the fruits of the earth.
The bounty of the season was transformed into a pumpkin pound cake and a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth pudding. With each bite, the rich sweetness and rich aroma of autumn spread.
I can feel Kawada's warm consideration and the love that has gone into each and every gift.
Under the clear, refreshing autumn sky, we offer our boundless love, gratitude, and prayers to this beloved patchwork and the delicious bounty of the earth...
