Piggies! From artist Taeko Ozaki.
Piggies on Buttons too!
Piggies in love!
Piggies in Lemur Outfits! Could anything be more adorable?!?
Not a pig fan? There are other animals too. Mostly with pigs. Because Pigs are so darn cute!
Of course, my ocean-loving self loves this whale featured in “Diving in the Sky.”
The Story of Torori, from illustrator Ayana Sato. And really, the story speaks for itself.
They come in colors too.
They make me so happy!
It was a busy weekend at my house. My son’s birthday celebration, a snowstorm, and plenty of time spent loading New Products at Japanistic.
Fantastic new Teak Cutlery and Serving Vessels. Made from the bits left behind during the logging process so no new trees are cut to make these lovely items.
A new favorite for me. The Semi-Carousel Drying Rack. I saw countless numbers of these in Japan, and they are the perfect solution for drying your smaller items. Foldable for easy storage, and yes, with cute colors.
For an infusion of general cuteness, a Rilakkuma Clip Set.
For the kidlets, a Silicone Travel Fork and Spoon Set.
And for the grown-ups, brightly colored My Cutlery Sets.
More newness at the site, and more to come because, you know, we like to keep things interesting.
Another bit of wonderful from the Belle Maison Monthly subscription plan. This towel series has my name all over it.
And yes – the peanut towel just gets me.
Is that a ghost on the yellow towel? A ghost who loves candy?
Smiling fruits and veggies, a monkey at Le Tour Eiffel, and cheerful critters jumping for joy. Don’t we all need something like this at least once a month?
These shoes could make me reconsider my one-child instincts. They are that ridiculously adorable.
Co. & Kokorone is the baby of Murone Hideyuki and Nomura Kyoko. I ca’t wait to see what other things they come up with because these are so wonderful. Don’t they make you want a peanut to dress?
I was up LATE last night adding tons of new product. And I guess I’m feeling pretty proud of myself. And of course, very much enamored of our newest offerings. Today, a bit of
Have something to celebrate? It’s always more fun if you are wearing silly hats. New Happy Party Hats in bright colors in sturdy felt.
Decorate for your holiday parties, or for any occasion, with these Happy Party Flag Banners.
Bird Banners too!
Finally, these adorable Felt Box Petit Sachets.
Everything about this is so, so, so right. For your dog, for your kid. Either way, you can’t go wrong. I love this dog and I love this kid and I love them both wearing these Hats from Cherish.
My dog, the Martian. And, my baby, the martian.
You can also choose fruits and veggies.
FYI- my son and I are spending much time cracking up over these and saying “awwwww. sooooooo cute.” Seriously. This post has made us incredibly happy. Ridiculously, gleefully happy.
BUNNIES!
A WATERMELON hat!
Is your dog a Carrot Top?
I don’t even know what animal this is supposed to be – but it doesn’t matter at all!
May I also say that this dog and this child are AMAZINGLY cooperative? I don’t think either of mine would stand for this. And, it would be impossible for this child to be cuter.
Although I’m a knitter, the art of felting is a mystery to me. While I don’t understand it, I am in awe of the artistry behind these felted birds from Samurai Felt.
So lifelike they look ready to take flight, the artist , based in Hyogo, Japan, says “I have needled felt little animals out of wool since last year,inspired from nature near by my habitation. I realy [sic] love the beauty of nature animals and birds, so I always strive to make them as realstic [sic] as possible.” (via)
