More great Holiday Ideas from Japanistic

It’s not too late to place your holiday orders at Japanistic. Need some help? Here are a few of my favorites.

It’s my feeling that every kid needs the perfect Teddy Bear. And Benny the Bear is just that.

Not one for bears? That’s okay. How about a snuggly Giraffe for your favorite little one.

Textiles for your favorite crafter.

A Tokyo Railway City Map, for the one in your life whose travels are real or imagined.

For the royalty obsessed paper crafter, a Paper Buckingham Palace.

Or for the cycling paper artist, a Paper Craft Bicycle, complete with basket.

I want one of these Tour Les Jours Zipper Pouches in my stocking.

I use a 3-Year Perpetual Diary to keep track of how much I swim each year and it’s the perfect record-keeper. Of course, it would work equally well as a standard datebook, and I love that the bright color means I can always find it on my desk.

Of course, it’s always nice to have something for yourself too. And whatever you don’t spend on holiday gifts, you can store in this Lucky Cat Bank.

As always, there’s plenty more to see at Japanistic. Thanks for your support.

Our staff gets crafty with our stuff

I admit it. I like to brag about our amazing staff. And I am loving this project done by our Rosie, using our Artemis A5 Paper Binders and some Washi Paper Tape. Lovely, isn’t it?

Caution! New stuff at Japanistic!

My new favorite thing at Japanistic. Neon pencil cases for your tote bag. This will make it impossible for me to lose it at the bottom of my bag, right? (And how perfect with our Neon A5 binders.)

More than what you need? Try the Poire Zipper Case.

I can’t afford my own apartment in Paris, but I’ll pretend I have one, with a cute little dog to greet me, with this Paris Apartment Zipper Case.

Of course, what I really want is to travel across the world. With this World Travel Zipper Case to hold my goodies.

As always, more to come soon. (Don’t see something you think could be good for us? Feel free to let me know. I’m always looking!)

New A5 Series is here-ready for back to school

New Binders, New Inserts, New Colors,The new Artemis A5 is here!

I am so excited that the new A5 pieces got here in time for back to school. I am completely addicted to the A5 series, and now, there’s more for me to love.

How do I use them? One binder filled with notebooks for each blog I write, and one binder with notebooks for the store, the websites, and general ideas. Amazingly, it really does help me stay organized.

Right now, I’m using the Red of these new Artemis Neon Binders. I love that it lets me open my binder flat, making it easier to write, and doesn’t get too dinged up in my bag.

I’m goofy about memories. I keep track of the movies I’ve seen, books I’ve loved, and the miscellaneous bits of life I want to remember. The Artemis Impression Journal is perfect for this.

There are also new colors in the A5 Ruled Notebooks, making it even easier to distinguish one book from another when they’re tucked in your binder.

Of course, we still have our other styles as well. Free Notebooks, Indexes, Weekly Planners, Recipe Keepers, the Astro Boy Series and more.

I NEED a Brainstorm Recorder-Penco Notebooks from Hightide

penco-img01

By now, it’s clear that my notebook loyalties lie with the A5 Series from Artemis. That said, I am always drawn to companies that combine good design with terrific colors. And Penco from Hightide fits the bill completely. Office supplies, but better. And who doesn’t need a Brainstorm Recorder?

Benny the Bear hits the Big Time on Dousoukai

Oh Benny-You are the cutest!

Oh Benny-You are the cutest!

I feel like a proud Momma, seeing my baby bear on Japanese TV. I just got these images from Artemis in Japan-Benny on a Japanese television drama. Clearly a healing bear, bringing love and snuggles to Mother and Child, Benny obviously plays a pivotal role in this Japanese drama.

If you read Japanese, you can learn the complete story line on the Asahi TV site. If not, here’s what I understand: Dousoukai “revolves around four men and women around the age of 45, who meet again after thirty years, at their junior high reunion. Feelings of love unexpectedly emerge among them, leading to a complicated situation.” (via)

A complicated situation indeed! “Kuroki plays the former honor student Tomomi, who takes care of her two children and her currently unemployed husband. Back in junior high, she and Kosuke…had feelings for each other. Kosuke is now a police detective, but he has trouble balancing his work with his wife and son. Saito plays a housewife leading a high-class lifestyle but hiding a secret, while Mikami plays a magazine editor who has gone through a divorce but is still popular with women.” (via)

Still popular with women? Despite his divorce? Shocking!

What 'cha doin' on the couch there Benny? Just chillin' while the adults talk?
