The last months have been full of fabrics, but there is good news for all you stationery lovers out there. We also received lots of new kawaii Japanese stationery, mainly letter sets, memo pads and notebooks. There is new stuff by San-X, Mind Wave and Q-Lia. More will be added throughout the next weeks.

It’s spring, so grab your food and enjoy it outside in the park. We have everything for a perfect picnic experience, from picnic blankets, bento boxes, thermo bottles, plastic cups, cutlery to other useful accessories like wrapping papers or straps.
If you love echino you will be delighted to hear that we have new echino fabrics from 6 collections overall. The collections echino mosaic and echino gara are available as wide poplin fabrics, the collections echino bee, echino kalmia, echino pipi and echino hide are available as laminates.
Lots of new Robert Kaufman precuts are available in our shop now. We got many Fat Quarters, Roll-ups and Charm Packs from the popular collection Spot On. And if you prefer single-colored precuts, there are many solid bundles in lots of colors and formats. Also new: Half-Rolls. Like roll-ups they consist of many long stripes of fabric that are rolled up, but with 20 pieces they are just half the size of their bigger Roll-up siblings.
Wedding season starts and you might have heard that one before: Bride and groom do not want fancy wedding gifts but prefer cash. The good thing is you don’t have to worry about what present to get them. But then it gets tricky. How much to give and HOW to hand it over? There are lots of ways to creatively pack or fold money gifts, but if you want to keep it simple, we suggest the following: Get a cute mini envelope with a colorful design, put the money in and you’re done. The little envelopes can be handed over on their own or be part of a bigger present or another form of presentation.
Even though Halloween is still many month away, we just received our first Halloween fabrics for this year by Timeless Treasures. There are some new funny glow in the dark fabrics, which are covered with glow-in-the-dark pigments. Then we also got classic Halloween designs with pumpkins, cats and spiders. However, the most dominant design in this latest delivery is definitely skulls. Many of the skull fabrics are not really the typical Halloween fabrics but also go into folk or Gothic directions.
Cherry blossoms are a super important part of Japanese springtime. We also love the beautiful flowers and are very happy that they can be found on so many products in our shop.
Springtime is allergy time. Even though most people love spring as everything starts to blossom and it gets warmer, people who suffer from hay-fever and allergies have to prepare for vicious pollen attacks. Grab one of our super cute tissue box covers by San-X, they will make blowing your nose less annoying.
It’s time for a fresh breeze at home. Spring time is not only popular for some good spring-cleaning but also for redecorating. A great opportunity to try mt Casa Masking Tapes for walls and furniture. This series by the Japanese manufacturer mt was especially made for interior design purposes. The bright colors also create a great spring atmosphere.
You can decorate almost everything with these tapes, because they stick on wallpaper, wood, plastic, tiles, glass and more. Also they can be removed without leaving any trace, so redecorating as often as you want is super easy. Here are some ideas from the mt archive:

We didn’t have any Canvas fabrics by this manufacturer so far, but now you can get a wonderful series of Robert Kaufman canvas fabrics in our shop. The collection is called ‘Auntie’s Attic Canvas’ and contains lots of retro flower prints. They all look like wallpapers from the 70’s. The heavy canvas fabrics are very robust and therefore great for home decor projects.
