Mini Tokyo Apartment
Sandwiches, Hello!
I'm slowly getting settled in my mini-me Tokyo apartment! It's so lovely and sunny and I just love hanging out here. But I won't be completely satisfied until my super cute housewarming present arrives! I've been in love with these Confetti System Tassle Garlands since I can remember and after seeing them again recently at Third Drawer Down's Sydney Pop Up Shop (which also stocked my Tokyo Guides) I decided it would be a nice little Tokyo housewarming treat! I have ordered the multi colour one!
Aren't they gorgeous? It's like having your own Tanabata installation all year round!
xoxo

ReplyDeleteFirst, it's beautiful.
Second, i'm moving house in a few days,
and i'm bringing my broken (destroyed or smashed would be more accurate) heart with me,
so having a look at your joyful new flat inspires me a lot.
I'm seeing things i love in your house, things that make me think this could be some of my friends'flat (or mine), and it reminds me that building your own little world again can be enlightening, fulfilling, and bring light and joy to my heart... Thank you***
