    I wish I was there in the mt world;)
    Instead I'm here in Denmark where the choice of mt is very small and expensive...
    Very cool pics

    I have to come visit you and buy the biggest selection of mt tape because there is literally NONE here Austria apart from the clear one. Everything looks soooo amazing! I wish I could be in your shoes for just one day. Or longer. ;)

    Hello Mille, I wish you were here too! But Denmark seems amazingly cool too! I want to travel to Denmark!

    Hello Maria, ooo yes you will! You can never have too many mt tapes! they have so many uses! from collage craft, gift wrapping, envelope making, decorating your house, decorating your bike and even fastening half used pasta packets in your pantry! :)

    Hello Cookie Cutter, yes I think so :)

    Hello Beci, I wish you were here miss! I adore your wreath for Frankie! I wish I could have one on my little mini me apartment door!

    Hello Sarahlimbh, The book is Japanese only. I am not sure if you are familiar with Japanese craft books but even foreigners can enjoy them because they have many images and are a great source of inspiration!

    Hello Lavender Playground, Thank you for your lovely post and lovely link. Waou you speak Chinese! Are you Chinese? Or just super talented...or both :)

    Hello Natalie, thank you for your comment and also for your tweet. It's nice to hear from you. Oh that's so nice of you to say. I hope you can come to Tokyo soon!

    Hello Satsuki-san! How are you lovely! I wish you could come here now too!

    Hello GaletteJapan, Oh it's good your bag arrived! I bet you will have fun making things with your new tapes!

    Hello Sefi, thank you very much for your nice comment. I hope you can come back to Tokyo again soon!

    Hello April San Pedro! Oh yes it's so cute You should buy it! I'm happy you could come along on the mt expo journey through my photos :)

    I just totally love your products and always been a loyal buyers of mt tape when it comes to create something new from out of an ordinary stuff. These tapes are totally adhesive when it comes to keep it for longer run. Recently I have visited their page MT Masking Tape and found some really cool collections of tapes which could be used for so many artworks, well I m definitely buying them soon.
