♠Plastic Wonderland♣
I need to stop promising to blog about things, as I more often than not never get round to doing so!
Anyway, wanted to have this little consumeristic flail for quite a while now. This is stuff I bought when I first got home for summer, and now summer's over. That's how much of a while it's been. Haha!
Anyway. Pictured above are these adorable little tab stickers!!
They're a bit like post-it notes, but made with sturdier plastic, and come in adorable designs! I grabbed the Alice in Wonderland themed ones, as well as a Winnie the Pooh one. ^^; There're other non-character themed sets like safari animals, farm animals, flowers and so on. But since I've been herded like a sheep onto the Japanese love for Alice in Wonderland bandwagon, Alice it was for me★
The tagline for these adorable sets is something like 'Create Your Own Story!', which I did attempt to do in about half a minute, the result of which you can see more clearly with a light background:
Alice, of course, as well as the White Rabbit, some shrooms and grass. (Yes, the wording is deliberate. :p)
The book is J.M. Barrie's 'The Little White Bird', which is supposed to be the precursor of 'Peter Pan'.
I bought it from the book town Hay-on-Wye in Wales when I first arrived in Britain.
I must confess that I still haven't read the book yet, though, after all these years!! Whoops!
I remember being really quite taken up with 'Peter Pan' before going off to uni. I read the full original text and absolutely loved the flashes of the sinister that emerged from Peter.
Anyway, I also picked up these pretty pastel macaron post its on the same pilgrimage to the stationary section of the Japanese bookstore, Books Kinokuniya.
Speaking of Alice in Wonderland, I caved in to temptation and bought this from Paul & Joe.
Most definitely got it for the box and packaging! ^^; Whooops.
And when we mash up Alice and macarons, this is the result!!!
Ahh, I love my Cheshire Cat macaron! ♥♥
And so ends this display of consumerism! ^^;

haha, I like how you call it your 'consumerism' post. I just realised how many people do only blog about things they've bought! I hope I don't do it too much. But it's nice to see the cute things you bought. Those Paul and Joe designs are SO cute. WANT.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Remnants of the influence of uni days. :p
ReplyDeleteHeh, I enjoy seeing the stuff you buy! They're all so adorable and pretty! ^~^
They had another set that was blue, and was really pretty as well! I chose the Cheshire Cat over Alice, though. ^^;
Before leaving Spore, I saw Paul & Joe's latest make-up collection, which I think had CAT shaped lipsticks!!! Ahhh! Do want!!! >///<
Haha!!
Well I'm glad the things I buy are adorable and pretty! I've used the Internet so much more for shopping since I moved here....It's a bit addictive, because I also love receiving things by post..
ReplyDeleteI would also love a cat-shaped lipstick!
