Here are a few pics from incredible Tokyo (and a few snuck in from Hakone) from 2011.

Happy Holidays Sandwiches!

Happy Festive Season Sandwiches!

I'm in my hometown celebrating Christmas with my family! I hope you are celebrating somewhere with your loved ones. All of the presents are wrapped, the food is cooked, 'She & Him Christmas album' is playing, I have my OPI Rainbow Connection glitter nail polish on, and I am drinking sparkling wine as I write this. Merry Christmas Sandwiches!

Oh. My. Goodness. I can not believe that my wrapping is on Martha Stewart's Website! It is one of my dreams come true. I was one of four craft bloggers asked to take part in the 'Gift Wrap Challenge'. I could not believe it when I received the email! Martha Stewart's team knew about Hello Sandwich~?! Waou I was so ureshii! It was such a fun project to work on and I hope you can enjoy some of the wrapping ideas. You can see more of my wrapping here.

And Sandwiches, could I ask you a favour? Would it be possible, if you have a spare second, to visit Martha Stewart's Crafts Dept. Website and vote for your favourite wrapping?

You can vote here pretty please!


よろしくお願いします!!

It would be so lovely if you didn't mind. It's just one click voting - no need to sign in or anything!

I am sorry to ask for your time.

Happy Wrapping Sandwiches!

Shibaura House 'Handmade Present' Window Display

Photobucket

Sandwiches!
Hello!

Here is a sneak peek of the Hello Sandwich window display (sorry - via instagram and iphone camera ) at Shibaura House! The window display is for the 'Handmade Present' exhibition and workshop series which starts at Shibaura House 15th December! I'll be hosting a Christmas Garland making workshop tomorrow (15th December) at 7pm and I hope you can come along.

My craft idol Udagawa-san is coming too! If you have some of her books you could bring them and she might sign them for you if you ask nicely ;)

It was pretty incredible working in Shibuara House today. Did you know that the ground floor is a free space for anyone to use? There is a cafe making incredible organic coffee there too but you can also bring your own bento or sandwich lunch and enjoy the nice jazz and beautiful light and atmosphere. They have blankets too so you can keep warm while you read a book and relax. The owners idea is that it's like a park, a place for gathering and meeting. Incredible no? I said 'incredible' too many times didn't I?

I hope you can pop in and soak up some Shibaura House and enjoy the Hello Sandwich window display and Handmade Present exhibition.

Thank you also to Tomoko-san who helped me install this window display today! お疲れ様でした!

There is a giant timber table and you can enjoy arranging and wrapping your flowers all by yourself. Ofcourse if you would prefer for someone to make the flowers for you, you can! They also have a florist school and a gorgeous zakka shop upstairs! If you're in Ebisu be sure to pop in!
