Re-ment has done it again, super cute Hello Kitty themed collections are due to come out in October! I just about popped when I stumbled up this little tidbit of pictures of a bakery display counter, bake shop, and food mascot set!! I’m not sure yet if it will be coming to local Sanrio stores, but I will certainly be checking. Click on the photo’s for larger versions.

I have been trying to track down a bakery case for quiet some time now, but a Hello Kitty themed one would be even better!

Sets two, five and seven yes please!

My poor package from Innocent World has been trapped at the post office since Saturday when I missed the postman by being gone most of the day. Argh! Life just hasn’t been kind to let me pick up my goodies any earlier than today, there’s just been to much drama.

I really don’t want to get into all that right now, let’s just get on to the pretty clothes, okay? Okay! First up is the Leila Bustier in black. Originally I really wanted to get it in bordeaux along with the matching skirt, but I talked myself out of it and opted for something that would match with so much more in my wardrobe. As for the color, since so much of my wardrobe is predominantly black, then alas black it was despite me trying to get away from it a bit. I’m not sure why I keep trying, I just keep circling right back around to black anyway in the end. Proof that I just need more bordeaux in my life! haha

The lace on the front is just so beautiful!

Today I have made my first major foray into sewing 1/6 scale clothes for my pullip girls. I literally just finished up this two tired ruffled skirt with matching headdress for Miyuki (Tiphona) and then hurried to take some snaps while the sun was still out. (The blouse is from her stock.) Here she is modeling them for you, she was a little shy at first.

I realize that her socks don’t quiet match, so I will be ordering some more basic sock colors in the near future. A girl must have matching socks you know.

Let me introduce you to my now installed and setup china hutch with it’s display of mismatched tea items.

After the cabinet was setup and the glass shelves were unwrapped I discovered that the corner shelves were missing. It’s not a huge problem as I can get some new one’s cut, but for right now it keeps me from reaching the best display potential. Shawn also replaced the old original lights with some new one’s as we didn’t want to worry about a fire hazard or heat building up inside the cabinet.

At last, all my pretty breakables have moved from their two small cabinet’s into one. After many years of seeing them apart it’s such a treat for them to all displayed together under the lights. The only thing missing right now are my two sake sets as there just isn’t room until I get the corner shelves replaced. I feel like it’s such a dream to at last have a hutch!

A friend and I decided to go out and have adventures poking around at charity shops and discovered lots of lovely things. She took me to a shop just loaded with treasures which I have never been to and don’t know how I didn’t already know about this gem! I will most certainly be going back, not so much that I think some things I like will still be there, but because it has a high turn over rate and lots of new lovelies will be there. The shop is super popular though, by the time we left it was packed!

At this first shop I picked up a couple of things for truly a song, I am very very happy with my findings! First off I discovered this lovely jewelry box with front panels of elegant Victorian? ladies dancing.

When you open it there are three long drawers lined with a red velvet type of material, nice so things don’t slide around. When you open the bottom drawer a music box mechanism is activated which plays a sweet melody, unfortunately I don’t know the name of the tune. I have been wanting to find something in which to store long necklaces, so this will work out perfectly I think. Such luck!

How to improve my Friday…send me the link to a Build A Bear announcement that Sanrio characters will be at stores today! As soon as I spotted Chococat on the roster of availabilities I knew I had to go get one before risking a sell out since it’s tax free weekend and tons of people will be flooding the mall.

Chococat ties with Nyago for my second favorite Sanrio character after Hello Kitty. I’m a huge fan of Build A Bear, so soon as I got her home into some cute fruit themed summer clothes she went!

Look at that cute tail!
