Woolly Pockets

I have seen Woolly Pockets in stores and I always wondered how they worked but was never that interested in them until I watched their cool new video (yes, I'm a sucker for cute marketing).  But seriously, I think a vertical garden is a great idea--especially in small spaces, and especially if you live in urban areas and want to bring the outdoors in.

Washi Tape

I picked up a cute roll of Japanese washi tape this weekend at Kinokuniya for $2!  I call this pattern "Bunny Parade."



The Japanese brand MT also sells really cute washi tape.  I love the polka dots and stripes.  A two pack at Kinokuniya was $6.75 but it seems to go for as high as $9 online.

Washi tape is great for adding some embellishment to notes or plain cards, or adding a bit of quirk to your gifts.
