Quiet Happiness at Kinokuniya

 

Fully Booked x Kinokuniya is my happy place. 

Well, one of my happy places, that is. 

How can it not? Just look at that fun Mario multicolored pen! 

I would’ve bought it in a heartbeat if it was a single color pen. Big pens just don’t suit my fingers. 

And then look at these journal tabs! That is exactly my aesthetic!

And look at the corner bookmark and the pirate page holder. The corner marker reminds me of the book my son’s friends gave him. It had an origami corner bookmark, too. 

Line Markers. These are great! It reminds me of those reading rulers with the window in the middle, except this one tells you the last line you read. Very exact! There’s a bookmark and then there’s a line marker. Cool. 

Oh, these Japanese stickers are sending me… Now I want the cats and the piano stickers… and those onigiri! 

Clips! I have recently developed an obsession with clips. 

Fortunately, these clips are too juvenile for me so I passed. 

Oh, but those food stickers.. I want!

I tried so hard not to buy any stickers because I still have a ton to use! 

I was successful. I didn’t buy any. 

I used to have a lot of fun with these as a kid. 

Because of course, Japanese stationery has highlighters like this. 

I love this Gloo. It’s expensive, but I love it. 

And of course, I had to look at the pouches. 

Japanese stationery pouches are da bomb. 

Just look how much stuff you can put in there! 

This is great for a student. But for me? I require more compartments! 😆

And then I saw the scissors! 

I had a hard time choosing between white and teal. 

The teal came home with me in the end.

And I finally bought this Hello Kitty set of pens that I’ve been circling like a vulture for the past 3 months. 

I wanted these cute sticky notes, too, but yeah, I have a lot and I can actually make these. 

But then again, when? 

I am swamped with current orders and my two editorial platforms (this one and Lady E Eats) need some lovin’. 

Maybe I’ll buy a pack next time. 

Maybe. 

And then look at this thing! 

It’s a Twilight Cookbook! 

Recipes from Forks! 

I didn’t have a lot of time to look around that day, but I will come back for this. 

And I’ll let you know what I find.
