Wishy, Washi Tapes

My pretty washi tapes with my handmade pompoms.  And yes, i love my cake plates and I use them for anything.  You will find them all around the house!

Japanese tape.  Fabric tape.  Cotton tape.  Printed tape.  Fancy tape.  These cuties got all these names, but they really are called Japanese washi tapes!  Aren't they pretty?  They come in a wide variety of colors and prints.  When I first saw them in a blog, I 've googled them and found them here and here.  (They're expensive though!)  But I just got to have them.  And I was lucky because around that time, Bianca, my daughter was in Japan.  Talk about perfect timing!  What's the next best thing that happened?  Of course you guessed it!  I asked her to get me some and like a good daughter she always is, she got me 7 rolls of washi tapes!  And I was a happy mama! :-)


I use these tapes on almost anything, on my board, to seal envelopes, to post reminders, etc.  Because they're made of fabric, they don't destroy the paper and they stick on fabric as well, just like the dish cloth I covered my mood board with.  (See photo above.)  Are you beginning to like them too?  I bet you are!  Or maybe you have your own collection already?  Tell me about it, I would love to see yours.


Oh..its  Friday already!  Yay!  And double YAY, because it's a long weekend!  And the family will be up to something really exciting!  Happy weekend everyone!


I would love to hear your thoughts.
