Zakka style!

A little bit is Saturday vocab for you...
Why not add the word Zakka to your memory bank this year, courtesy of my my newly discovered fetish, Mollie Makes magazine, I have been introduced to this wonderful new word!

Zakka, it's a japanese word meaning "many things" and to capture the feeling of surrounding ones self with pretty kitsch wares, and to notice the beauty in everyday objects.

Fabric designer Rashida Coleman-Hale has edited a glorious new book about Zakka style with 24 wonderful ways to Zakka!

I'm off now to see how many times I can say Zukka in one day!
