Felt othello from Decole

How about a quick game of biscuit othello? Found it in Poco a Poco. Will show you another something from Decole next week. It’ll be diaper-related and very adorable.

Matryoshka doll – bath fizz

If I’m in Tokyo, I like to pop in to the ranKing ranQueen shop just to get myself quickly acquainted with the current best-selling goods in the country. Goods are displayed in order of sale rankings and categories range from food, drinks, cosmetics, toiletries, stationery and a whole lot more (including insane/weird stuff you wonder who buys and why).

The Happy Matryoshka Bath Fizz was ranked no.1 for bath salts at the time when I was in the branch at Shibuya.

I bought it not for the fizz but for the 2 matryoshkas – the pink casing (with facial features + flowers outlined just like the cover!) and the innermost surprise doll.

What’s amazing about this is no details are spared! From the packaging, the product tag and even to the mini capsule.

Doesn’t the peanut capsule look like it’s shaped for a matryoshka?

Nice package

The lovely Nice Package store is stocked with supplies to add a touch of warmth and sweetness on any package. I especially like the brown paper bag stamped with a white frame around the window.

naoLoop

naoLoop is a polyester latex band that stretches more than 50% of its size to snuggle stuff together securely. The band comes in different designs with various slots. Great for cards, cellphone, MP3, cash, perfume vial, makeup, pen and etc. There’s also a loft version that has tension straps fastened to a wall-mounted steel board. Available at Naolab.

How to make a triangular package

Have you tried this? Just a paper bag (like this) or an envelope will do the trick.

1. Identify points A and B.
2. Squish A to B.
3. Align.
4. Fold up a flap to seal.

Pretty accessory hangers

Hanger designs are breaking new grounds, aren’t they?

p.s. In response to some emails requesting to see my loot from Japan, I hope to get to it soon. Will show you just some. I haven’t gone through the shopping bags yet…

Unusual chair etc

Moxie And Oliver

There is a gorgeous collection of leather accessories at Moxie And Oliver that I’m marvelling. Marvelling at how hardy leather painted with chic designs is done with such grace + style!
