A couple of new books I have my eye on are BNN’s Tokyo Shop Identity and Sanrio Days. I am sure the Tokyo book will make me want to drive straight to the airport + visit Japan. And as a proud member of the Hello Kitty Club as a kid, Sanrio Days would have memories flooding back. (I’m already thinking about Kitty, Mimmy + the Little Twin Stars.) Both books are available through Amazon. I may just order both as a birthday gift to me, from me.

proving my point: excerpted doughnut shop “neyn” looks amazing!

Whenever my Google reader updates with items from Melissa’s Tiny Happy shop, I know I’m in for a treat. Today I’m smitten with her sashiko quilted coin purse and pencil pouch. Constructed of navy linen and stitched in cream, they’re simply magnificent.
