Washi tape memento

 

In my latest outgoing mail I have included these washi tape memento sticks! I thought it would be a great way to send washi tape to friends as you can easily unravel the tape from these paddle pop sticks! Like my washi tape journal it could be a great way to record/save some of your washi collection.

Autumn homebody

The Autumn season is upon us here in OZ. I just love the cooler season. It means cosy days at home working on new projects, crafting, curling up on the couch with a new book  or magazine and watching movies while eating a freshly baked homemade cake. These are just some of the things I love off course. The above picture includes some of my creations and favourite crafting materials - I have also been busy making some pom poms and sending mail art packs to friends. 

Meow - nom nom - Hello Kitty shortbread biscuits!

Bunny Bags

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter. I bet you are all enjoying your chocolate treats! Here are some bunny bags I designed and handmade for family and friends this year. The last one is a bunny house!

 



Eggstatic!

 

Happy Easter!

 

Hope you all have an eggstatic day! The four day mini-break for me has allowed me to have fun with some Easter themed crafts. A great excuse to make something with my fave craft tool too - washi tape eggs! They are a great decorative item to hang on flower branches or for decorating a gift!

 

 

This little guy will keep my hard-boiled egg warm for breakfast Easter morning - hoppity hop!



Mailbox Treats!

Just like in the movie You've Got Mail, I let out a gasp of excitement when I hear those three words said to me by my hubby when I arrive home from work.

Here are my latest treats from my letterbox.

A pen pal from Malaysia sent me this amazing package that was filled with stationery treats - Thanks Fiona!

We share the same love for covering packages in neon stickers and washi tape!

A little spot of Japanese stationery shopping at one of my fave stores UGUiSU.

New York pal Jannese sent me a Happy Birthday package that include some lovely handmade accessories and her latest photobook zine: Breathing in Japan: part 1 - Thanks Jannese, I miss you and NY!

 

Happy Mail Days everyone!



LOVE + WORK + SPACE

Hello! Hope you all had a gorgeous week and enjoying your weekend. Thanks for stopping by! I was fortunate enough to have recently appeared on two wonderful blogs. Ishtar Olivera's delightful blog where I shared my favourite crafty tools and the lovely Kelly Zarb interviewed me for her LOVE + WORK + SPACE blog series. Head on over and have a squiz, I'm sure you will find more goodness clicking through their blogs that will keep you busy for hours!



Let's Make!

 

Let's make a little gift pack full of cuteness! A great surprise treat for friends.

1. Recycle a brown paper bag and give it a new fun life by decorating it with dot stickers - you now have a very simple to make polka dot bag. I also like to decorate bags with a circle stamp if I don't have any stickers on hand.  

  

2. Head to your local Asian grocer and start stocking up on their pop colour and kawaii snacks! The packaging alone is a treat in itself!

  

3. Have fun with washi tape by decorating a blank card or envelope!

That's how you make cuteness in a bag!

Chelsea

 

If your visiting New York - Chelsea is a must. Here are a few snaps from my NY trip. Chelsea Markets has so much goodness under one roof such as; cute bakery Amy's bread, Eleni's where I got these awe AMAZING New York themed cookies, Anthropologie which stocks unique zakka, stationery, books, clothes and off course their magazine.

 

 

These are cookie textas for drawing on cookie icing - going to have fun with these!!

My fave store in NYC - Anthropologie, loved their stationery and wrapping section - can you see the wrapping paper with pom poms on it?

A fave purchase - I'm so into fun with watercolour and packaging at the mo -as you can see from my xmas wrapping! These have given me some great inspiration for my snail mail!

Cool Zine store Printed Matter

 

I couldn't stop looking at these delightful donut pillows on the wall!

 

 

I miss walking pass amazing flower deli stores like this one!

Walking the high-line

Diner's are everywhere - always covered in sweet fairy lights!

Walking the streets of Chelsea while imagining what it would be like to live in a brownstone

Mini photo flip books

 

I like making mini photo flip books! They make a cute treat to pop in the post to friends. I created this little "Kawaii Pop" themed one using some pictures of my crafty projects, purchases and pretty packaging. Why not make one yourself? All you need is a theme, paper, printer, scissors, staples and washi tape to bind!
