Look what I found hiding in a mall a mere thirty minutes away from my home:
Aisles and aisles of Japanese goodness!
Much shinier and more beautiful in person than in my lousy cell phone photos!
Rows of Totoro-inspired products!
And, oh, the Japanese craft book goodness!
I'm swooning just thinking about it.
Quick, somebody hide the credit cards!
**It's the Palisades Mall in West Nyack, NY. Visit if you dare!
That looks like such a fun place to explore.

Someone said there's one in Manhattan??? I've not caught on to all this Japanese crafty lust, but now...
Why must you expose me to wonderful things that I may have to look up and go to and covet and desire and eventually spend my money on and not have dinero for groceries and then try to convince hubby that eating is not so important if you have a cute craft to look at or work on....and isn't it cute, hubby?

I am so glad that the Books Kinokuniya store in LA is so far from my house (of course I had to look it up). Unfortunately, there are similar shops nearby... Is there a place in your store where you can sip milk tea and play with your newly purchased puffy stickers?

What did I tell you? That place is the best . . . I did hear that there was a branch in the area - - - please, please do not tell me where. It's bad enough I know where the Manhattan branch is.
