FOUND IT!




After how many stores??? ACK. I found the white tissue with red dots. ONLY at the Container Store. Whodathunkit. This is only the second time I have ever been in that store. Guess what else I found-POP tape. (They also have the FRAGILE tape).


I also scored two Maira Kalman books-(Un) Fashion and 1000 on 42nd Street at Gene de Chene in West L.A! I heart Maira Kalman. I heart Gene de Chene for having the books for me!

Um, and I fell in love with the Golden Legacy book at the bookstore...and, um, I ordered it when I got home (shhhhhhhh).

Speaking of Golden books...did I tell you that I am regressing? Or maybe it is just my refusal to grow up. I went to Paper Source in Beverly Hills the other day specifically for this guy (Oh, and the damn tissue paper):
They had him...and a ton of new papers too (*sigh*). C'mon...Mouse needed a friend so Mouse is happy now:



I don't want to grow up. I might not be a Toys R Us Kid anymore...but I love to play, read, cut and paste...oh, and doodle, too. I'm off to play with my puppets with (or without) Tristan.

*****
Did I tell you how pissed I am-HOW pissed I am-that I missed one of the coolest BIG ASS (I mean, seriously, LOOK at the SIZE of them) stamp sets EVER? I check my blogs pretty much daily...and this weekend I was so tired I only checked about a small handful (seriously-like 5)...and I missed THIS stamp set-

Now, of course, I could carve it...but that would require time, energy and effort. Right now I have no time and no energy.

I got the flower tape on the left when I was in Albuquerque, shopping up at Nob Hill.
It's beautiful, and you can cut around the flowers to if you don't want straight edges.

I also love Un-Fashion (the book).

Kelly I was looking in every store I went in the past few days for that paper for you! Even the grocery stores! HA!
So glad you finally found it!
COOL tape too...
Personally, I think you have 'radar' for this stuff ;-)

Hi Kelly,

I guess I am too late all around. I missed that stamp set too. Also, I found red dotted tissue today at Joanns Fabrics but you already got some! Oh well!
When are you leaving for the East Coast? I can't wait to be your "travel buddy" LOL

Love the tape and all the books-bringin' any?

Sharyn :)
