This is Peanut, the newest member of our family. Peanut is a 2-3 year old Corgi. The reason we do not know her exact age is because we rescued our little darling last November 2022. It took a few months for her to get used to us and for us to learn some of her habits, needs, and behaviors. She's a darling and a wonderful puppy. We could not have been more fortunate to have her come into our lives. She's well behaved, lively, and curious about the world. She enjoys walks, play and running around, herding sheep, and cheese. Boy, does she love cheese. And in case you're wondering, we do not have a sheep nor do we live...
In 1990, Steve Jobs said "computers is like a bicycle for the mind". We cannot agree more with Steve more. Here at Takara Corner, we like to it a step and suggest that the mind needs something else that may be more important. We think that traditional notebooks are like "a soulmate for the mind". We like to share with you a selection of some of our favorites. First, why notebooks? Doesn't everyone have smartphones that can double as note takers?

We love Halloween. The monthly-long ghoulish and monster movies. The decorations, setting up for a party and preparing for trick-o-treaters, and the changing of the season. One of our favorite activities is to go online find out which of our neighbors turn their front lawn into a scary maze or haunted house. With the pandemic, Halloween was pretty much cancelled but last year was especially exciting as many decided it was time to bring back the tradition of going all out and creating the best of Halloween traditions. It was a memorable night - traditional hauntings, movies on garage doors, shadow shows, and monsters and witches galore. It was a spell-bounding few nights if you will. So we are excited...
Does anyone still use pencil anymore? Of course. Even in the digital era we live in where our mobile devices take up a great deal of our time, a great many of us still use pencils and pens because having a writing instrument in our hands is still the best way to communicate and create. Since the days of using a simple stick as a stylus to the ballpoint pens and pencils today, this revolutionary tool of civilizations all across time and the world remain the same. And this is why we cherish our pens, markers, and pencils a great deal. Over time, we added other tools like erasers and rulers. It only means that we need a proper place...
