A Girl with A Dream

March 25, 2019

 

Dear Beautiful Soul,

How are you? Perhaps, you are surrounded by soft and fluffy light pink cherry blossoms? Or sitting on a bench and enjoying all the fresh greens around you?

These days, I am preparing my CV and cover letter.

Yes, you heard right. I lost my job which I started at the beginning of 2019.

I really like it. It was the first time in my life that I saw and touched so many pearls at once. It was truly magic. I learned a little bit about how to distinguish between the different kind of pearls.

PEARLS

Basically, there are two varieties of cultured pearls; freshwater and saltwater.  Freshwater pearls are mainly grown in man-made lakes in China. Saltwater pearls include the classic pearls Akoya grown off the coast of Japan, Tahitian Pearls, and South Sea Peals grown primarily in Australia, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

I did learn how to string a pearl necklace. It was really fun. A little tricky. But by the time you learn it.

Anyway, it was 2 weeks filled with fun and challenges.

NEW JOB

Creating my new and updated CV is an enjoyable process. The requirement to the CV and Cover Letter is a little bit different here in Germany. A German CV is mainly based on hard skills while in Denmark we add more soft skills. In the writing process, I have assisted me with a kind professional girl who is advising me and helping me to get my dream job!

夢見る少女 (ゆめみるしょうじょ)* A Girl With A Dream *

Before I left Japan I was working in the well-known fashion company Loius Vuitton in Copenhagen, Denmark. I really liked it. The work environment was so amazing and pleasant. I LOVE to serve customers and creating the best experience for the clients. I tried to continue my professional career in Japan. However, it was difficult because of the language.

Yet, now that I am back in Europe I like to pursue my dream to work for an international fashion company again. This time I  am passionate about to work for Christian Dior, The House of Dior. Dior creates such dreaming, feminine, elegant and finely detailed dresses. I also love their signature colors; rose, pale gray, and of course red. Since I started living in Japan (6 years ago) I felt a desire to work for them.

A little beautiful quote from @rebeccathoughts

See with your heart what the eyes cannot perceive. Hear with your heart what the ears cannot pick up. Think with your heart what the mind cannot comprehend.

Much love & happy new week to you, my darling.

New Japanese words from me to you. In Japanese language, family can be translated as 

💗家族 (kazoku)

家 • means house
事 • means tribe, family 

Depending on whether you are talking about your own family or talking to someone else’s family, the word changes a little 🤍

For example becomes かぞく(kazoku) ごかぞく(gokazoku) when you are taking about someone else’s family.

Happy February Beautiful Souls!

💕 Sashiko Thread 💗

The sashiko thread is different from many embroidery threads.

🍒 It is made by twisting several thin cotton threads together, and has a looser twist, and
🍒 made from long and stable cotton meaning that it is very hard wearing and strong. 

The thickness of the Sashiko thread varies. 

Thick threads give a soft and rustic feel while thin threads give a delicate and beautiful finish. 

Vegetable-dyed treads are popular for their gentle colours. Find your favourite yarn by comparing them. 

In the picture you will find some of my favourite Sashiko threads.

To the most left: @sashikostory color #013 - thick and lovely thread
In the middle: @hobbyra_hobbyre color #116 - medium thick, the one I use the most.
To the right side: @ajisaidrop thin and delicate.

With sashiko love,
Jeanette

Dear beautiful 🫶🏻

You might be curious about what Sashiko is.

Sashiko is a Japanese hand sewing technique that was developed in Japan a few centuries ago or as beautifully expressed by Keiko & Atsushi Futatsuya:

"Sashiko is a process of repairing the fabric to repair, strengthen and warm the clothes that the family member will wear"

Sashiko was originally a job for women to repair men's clothing over the winter. Both women and men worked as farmers in the summer. But in winter, men worked in the forest and women repaired the fabric. This practice still exists in some parts of Japan.

💫 My story with Sashiko
I discovered Sashiko one day when I walked into a small hobby shop in our neighborhood in Tokyo. Many Japanese women bought small pieces of white fabrics with printed patterns and also colorful threads. I wondered what they were going to do?

They all had to make small hand-sewn handkerchiefs. I found it fascinating and wanted to try it myself.

After several years of creating small pieces of hand-stitched fabrics using the Japanese needlework technique, I want to share my passion with the world. Because

It is pure bliss. Relaxing. And funny.

Do you also want to try? You can see more about Sashiko in my link in my profile.

Thank you for stopping by 🤎
