Sorry for the absence! Weekend update.

Hi peeps, sorry for the conspicuous lack of posting over the weekend but my computer was being most non-cooperative. But things are back in order now, for the time being at least, *touch wooden dolly's head for luck!*.


It has been a fairly dolly enhanced weekend. On Saturday I happened across a lovely little book:



I managed to get mine from a charity shop, but as you can see it's very reasonably priced on Amazon too :)

It's a lovely little reference book with some great information and nice pictures too, a lucky find!

But my good dolly fortune did not end their as I also happened upon these cute kokeshi style moneyboxes from a bargain store:

The big one was £2.99 and the little ones were £1 each - bargain!

Dolly(ies) of the day! Cute kokeshi style cuties!

kokeshicuties - 365 days of cute - day 2

My hubby bought me these cuties as a surprise gift yesterday from the international market in town! They are made of resin and have a little space in the bottom like Momijis. They are soo cute, especially the little grumpy one :)

Kokeshi Gifts :)

Well, Little Miss P recently took a trip to York with her grandmother. While she was there they visited a really cool Japanese shop and bought me this super cute Kokeshi pen :)

You can visit the shop's website here: www.thejapaneseshop.co.uk

I hope to be able to visit it in person soon :)

Etta loved the pen too, as you can see (although of course she's no idea what it is actually for!)
