what was the question?

I’m taking a guess on this, I think Zakka means “simple”! But I am sure I am absolutely wrong! :-p

Whatever it means, I sure love anything zakka! :-) Have a happy new year, Diane! xoxo!

By the way, Diane, did you know that you said “Wednesday, January 31st” and not December 31st? I just now noticed myself, though I think everyone understood you to mean today and not a month from now.

I’m pretty sure Zakka means “awesome”, or at the very least “painfully cute”. This looks like a great book!

Hi Sister Diane!
I have read that it means household items, usually handmade. But it’s a pretty ambiguous term. All I know is I love the Zakka Life website!
Thanks!
Katie.

Zakka means “many things” and is part of a new crafty-retro-lifestyle movement in Japan.
I love the squirrel tea cozy!

Ooooh! I think it means pretty little things that I have to make :)

Or…making cool things to use with everyday items that normally look dull and boring until some crafter came along and decided to snazz it up a bit and now they look awesome! Phew-that was some run on sentence :)

It should mean “oh my goodness how cute is that!”

Zakka — in my language, anyway — means something highly addicting and extremely adorable! That squirrel tea cozy is to die for.
