Our Story

Hello, my name is Vicki ♥
My creations are all about "Spreading Blessings & Love". 

The story began with a simple Rose Quartz bracelet I received as a child, bought by my parents at a market. It wasn’t an expensive bracelet, and we didn’t know anything about crystal energy at the time. My parents bought it simply because their little girl wanted a pink bracelet ♥

However, from that day on (and even to this day), every time I wear that bracelet, I feel blessed and luckier. I now deeply believe it carries the power of blessing, which my parents wanted to always give me ♥.

Fast forward to 2018, a turning point in my life. It was the most stressful year in my career, and given my previous experience with depression, I knew I was on the verge of falling back into it. While searching for peace, I began making blessing stone accessories for myself—and later, for family and friends. This process gave me a way to release my emotions. By sending love through the accessories I crafted, I felt loved and joyful in return from sharing that love.

After my father retired, I learned the concrete technique from him and started creating Blessing Cats in concrete, carrying on his spirit of craftsmanship. In 2020, during Christmas, we co-created our concrete collection together, and Little Refreshment joined its first Christmas Market. With our Concrete Blessing Cats and my Blessing Stone Accessories, the direction of our brand was solidified: "Spreading Blessings and Love" :)

This is what my parent taught me —— "Life is a mirror, to love and be loved". This lesson keeps me inspired to create and design our creative Blessing Accessories, 縁起物, for people.

*** “縁起物” — In Japan, this term refers to small things meant to bring blessings and luck.

 

﹒The Logo﹒ 

Little Refreshment is a brand that full of family LOVE. 

The five-colored rainbow tassels in our logo represent our five family members: Baba, Mama, my brother and sister, and me. 👴🏻🧓🏻👨🏻🧑🏻👩🏻. And within these hearts are the added members of our family—my husband, brother-in-law, and all the little ones! 💛🧡💚💙

** The tassel design also marks my first signature earrings collection :)

None of this would be possible without the endless love and support from my family. They are always at the heart of my creations!
