The other day I ordered a pair of baby boots made of felt wool and here it is!

The boots are for a baby of my friend’s who I’m planning to give as a present when I see them this weekend.

These boots are 100% handmade by a designer living in Australia.
She’s also an author of a book “Felt handmade style”.
She is such a cute Japanese woman and I’m one of those who are in love with her works. This is not only because she happens to be my relative, but I just like the way she is.

EMS international postal services costs more than the item itself, but still, I like to choose her work as a gift whenever someone gives birth to a baby.

This calendar for 2009 that I happened to find at Afternoon Tea was so cute! As you can see, each day has different kawaii illustration and it’s just like a postal stamp.
It costs only 1470 yen (=about US$14) with all these cute things.

I think I would have bought it if only each illustration can be used as a sticker. (But I wonder when I would use up as many as 365 stickers…?)
I took these photos with my mobile phone camera in secret because usually it’s not allowed to do that in a shop. Is there any good way to make use of this?

There is another way of how to make use of the salon that is also mentioned at MSN Japan news, which I also found interesting. It’s that Japanese people who want to practice English while receiving massage! I never thought of that way, ouch! Very nice & unique idea (^o^)

akiba massage salon 1 another kawaii from Akiba?

From MSN Japan news, I found an interesting one that I cannot but mention here!

Nowadays Akihabara is very famous among world tourists as it is considered a mecca of subculture, and also well-known as the place that gave birth to quite a few anime, manga, game, otaku, maid cafe, cosplay, doujin, and more….(These words are Japanse but they are already known in English.) Akihabara is also called “Akiba” abbreviated with affinity, if I might add.

So the news is that, a new massage salon named NADESHIKO-AN lately opened in Akiba, where all the staff speak fluent English so that foreign turists can also fully explore & enjoy our culture.

I like the idea so much, because unfortunately not many of us have good command of English, and so, foreign turists are very likely to have difficulties in communication with us.
(That’s why my English is not perfect, as you can see…but I think it’s OK…(^_^;)v )

What I like most in the salon is its Edo-styled interior, and all the employees wearing kimono.

I really like the concept of this salon!
