Simple crafts, comforting recipes, and everyday inspiration
I love rubber stamps and I collect them whenever I get the chance. I also love cats so I was super happy when my kitty rubber stamps from Say it with Stamps arrived! Aren't they purrfect?Love that they came in seed paper which I can grow Spinach from! This is my third time to order from the Instagram shop and I'm always delighted with the quality. Now, time to make some handmade kitty inspired stationery!
Searching the interwebs lately, I discovered this online shop perfectly named Cute Things from Japan! (*happy dance*)
Then I found these kitte no kobito. It’s a term that translates to "little stamp people." True to the quirky and kawaii Japanese way of life, these adorable stamps make letter correspondence and sending packages more fun. The rubber stamp collector that I am, this is actually the first time I've seen stamps designed mainly for this purpose. Another cute chindōgu (珍道具) creation that puts a smile on a letter recipient's face. Totally getting myself some of these stamps soon! Find these cute stamps here.
It's been awhile since I've received happy mail and when I do I feel so warm and fuzzy inside. Look what arrived today! My édition PAUMES books from Doux Dimanche and customized rubber stamps from Say it with Stamps. The PAUMES books arrived longer than expected and were smaller than I imagined them to be but overall I love the quality of the book printing. The photos are vividly beautiful and the book size is quite perfect. Handy enough to snuck in your purse for some quick browsing while you are waiting in the airport or stuck in line. Never mind the fact that the texts are in Japanese and I can't understand a single word. The photos themselves speak a thousand words!
Here's to some French inspired organizing and decorating. Apparently, French style is not minimalistic but there is quirky beauty in a room full of collectibles and personal mementos arranged in a je ne sais pas manner.
My rubber stamp collection is growing bigger with these newly carved rubber stamps from Instagram shop Say it with Stamps. Super cute and arrives in sweet packaging. Shop owner Lui even attaches a sweet hand-written note.
