Do you want to farm with Hello Kitty? In Hong Kong you can do so, because there is an actual Hello Kitty farm. The organic farm Go Green Organic Farm teamed up with Sanrio and is now the Hello Kitty Go Green Organic Farm.
It is located in Yuen Long, in the New Territories of Hong Kong. You can visit the farm and even join programs to learn how to farm and get in touch with nature. There are various Hello Kitty decorations throughout the farm, you can collect Hello Kitty stamps in a booklet and purchase Hello Kitty merchandise like plush scarecrows or flower pots. The farm has a cafe, you can pet animals, buy herbs and learn about farming. And don’t forget taking pictures with the cute Hello Kitty decorations is also important.
The cute farm designs totally remind us of the cute Hello Kitty Farm Life Re-Ment that we just added to our shop. We haven’t visited the farm ourselves so far, so we borrowed all the pictures from the Hello Kitty Go Green Organic Farm Facebook site where you also find information like the opening times, address and more.
If you want to make your summer even brighter and more colorful, grab some mt Washi Tapes and decorate your windows. It looks really pretty when the sun shines through the glass and illuminates the patterns of the Masking Tapes. It’s a great way to redecorate for summer or even to make some privacy films or sun shades yourself. Check out some projects that mt showed on their website to get some inspiration.

The Japanese clay manufacturer Kutsuwa released 4 new DIY clay sets with the soft Fuwa Fuwa mousse clay. We already have them in our shop and they are super cute. It’s all about making sweets miniatures from clay, there are sets for making mini cakes, cake pops and crepes.
The instructions are written in Japanese only, but there are lots of good pictures and illustrations, so that it’s quite easy to understand.
If you’re a fan or not you probably know Hello Kitty. But do you know any other characters from Sanrio? Sanrio released a super cute interactive timeline where you can see which characters were created between 1970 and today. Hello Kitty is the star of the timeline and walks you through it using different vehicles in each decade. When you click on the characters you get a short bio.
It’s so interesting to see what character was born at what time. Did you know that Hello Kitty, My Melody and Little Twin Stars were all created in the 1970s? But Hello Kitty’s boyfriend Dear Daniel was not developed until 20 years later.
In the last weeks we added so much new stationery to our shop that we don’t where to begin. You can find new items in almost all our stationery categories, there are new folders, erasers, letter sets, deco tapes, pens, pencils, stickers, sticky notes and rulers. If you are a fan of Hello Kitty or My Melody make sure to browse through the new stuff, there are a lot of products with these characters. But we also have new products with Toy Story, Monsters University or Disney designs.
The funny Zombbit zombie bunnies were released by San-X in 2013 and therefore are the youngest members of the San-X family.
Zombbits are cute rabbits that somehow became zombies. The living dead bunnies are very hungry and will try to bite anything. They make the gnawing sound “gajigaji” all the time and are super slow. Once they bite another bunny it is infected too and will become a zombie. Let’s get to know them a bit better:
Nonbi
The cute turquoise rabbit is still a baby. His appearance didn’t change that much after he became a Zombbit. Nonbi doesn’t seem to have any ears.
Somii
The hot pink Somii is always at Nonbi’s side. So is he his pet? Nobody knows. He looks a bit like a cloud because he appears to be trembling.
Zombbits
There are lots of different Zombbit rabbits. They are always in a group and gnaw on something – quite frequently on each other. When they see Nonbi they run after him.
Joshii
Joshii looks a bit like a pig, but she is a female bunny. She is Nonbi’s classmate and accidentally became a Zombbit. She wears quite a bit of make up which is a bit messy now.
GG
The school bus driver GG really doesn’t look a lot different as a zombie than he did before. But now flies are always hiding in his mouth.
Hamii & Salamii
Hamii and Salamii are twin brothers and sisters who live near Nonbi. They are always together.
