Inspiration from Tokyo- Part 1

I brought a big suitcase with me to Tokyo and was ready to fill it up! But honestly I didn't end up buying as much as I thought I would. There were wonderful finds though, and I'm excited to share them!
Everything in Japan is shrink wrapped it seems. These books were a mystery to me since I can't read Japanese and know what the interiors were about, but I had to buy them anyways. Turns out they are activity books! I love this Rub A Dub Dub line. SO CUTE! Score!

I've never wanted a tray this much in my life. From Weles-Art by Naomi Tozaki. Check it this link for more goodies!

P714- they were at Design Festa and I had to buy a few little things- including the cutest post-it notes in the world. More on their website-ahhhhh!

Super cute pop-up birthday card that comes with sound.
The sound is a bottle opening, pouring, then two cute voices that says "kampai!" ("Cheers!" in Japanese.) Who...can...resist....

I have MORE goodies but for now I better get back to work instead of taking pics of everything I got. Hope you got your dose of kawaii for now.

**disclaimer: this post was filled with too much use of the word "cute," but I hope you understand.** :-)

I think even I, being a dude, would be forced to use the word "cute" as well. Love 'em...

When coming back from a trip to Tokyo you can use the word Cute as much as you want! In fact, you Should use it a lot!
When i was there, my hubby kept saying to me, "we brought the big suitcase for a reason, you better fill it up!" So ofcourse i just kept buying cute things to put in it!

Hi Jannie, you found some very cute stuff on your trip! I'm always buying cute, sticker, books, sticky notes, greeting cards and etc. too! I created an album filled with cute greetings and stickers. It so easy to flip through for inspiration.
