You know I love a sale and what could be better than a sale on Hello Kitty? Right now at sanrio.com they are having up to 50% off! Here are a few things I picked out.

Love this totebag for grocery shopping. Now if only I could remember to actually USE it!

Sweet little mini-baguette purse in pink and green. Very PREPPY combination.

Adorable memo pad with hard to find Hello Kitty dressed as a geisha.

Sweet pink Hello Kitty geisha charm. I go crazy for these, I must have about twenty or more.

Hello Kitty chopsticks with towel wrap. Oh if only I had dishes to match!

Best wishes for 2010. I hope you had a terrific holiday season and have a wonderful New Year. I rang in the New Year the same way i have since I was about five years old – watching Dick Clark! Although I don’t know many of the performers these days (tonight it was Jennifer Lopez and Chris Daughtry in Times Square which I was thrilled to see since I actually KNEW them!)but I still enjoy the festivities. It amazes me how fast they clean up Times Square.

I love to see Dick Clark. It must be a great honor for Ryan Seacrest to co-host the show with him. I adore Ryan Seacrest. I think he is a gracious person. Dick Clark still looks great too and I love to see him kiss his wife at midnight as I have for the last 36 years.

Happy New Year to my family and my kitty Lucy!

Keep it kawaii!

I looked around to see what I could find that seemed kawaii to me that had to do with Halloween and I just couldn’t find all that much online. Perhaps Halloween by its very nature is somewhat kawaii (well it could be if you took the spooky scary stuff out of it) but I was really looking for very specific examples.

I did find this (on another site)(in essence yes, I cribbed it):

Kitty looks like she is dressing up as my Lucy!

Just found these new items from Re-ment – dig the Hello Kitty Stationery! You can see the individual items by clicking here.

This is the Hot Springs Ryokan series. For close-ups click here.

I just got my new Re-ment Hello Kitty edition series. Wowee! It is so much fun and I cannot wait to get another MUJI case to put the new display in (to see my other display please visit my Kawaii Flickr page). If you are going to make minis why not make them Hello Kitty right?

Here is the series I just got:

This set comes with (from top row Left) Hello Kitty birthday cake, Hello Kitty bento box, Hello Kitty pancakes, Hello Kitty rice omelet ( a popular children’s meal in Japan), Hello Kitty croquette dinner, Hello Kitty curry dinner, Hello Kitty apple pie and Hello Kitty custard. What is especially neat are the plates, cups and utensils which can be used in a variety of other displays too.

This is the original Hello Kitty mini series I have. It came in a red version and a pink version. From top Left there is a Hello Kitty bento, Hello Kitty box of chocolates, a Hello Kitty Salisbury steak dinner, Hello Kitty tea service, Hello Kitty hot pot and the Hello Kitty serving platter for the hot pot.

This was another set of Hello Kitty mini’s. Highly detailed though some were unfortunately not the most popular characters, like Patty & Jimmy and Mr. Penguin.

This is a new teeny tiny Hello Kitty room series. I haven’t gotten this yet but it looks super pink and kawaii. They need to come out with a little mini dollhouse to put all this stuff in. Oh wow – I would love a little Hello Kitty doll house!

Finally above is the Hello Kitty mini play set (not sure if the furniture series would fit in this). It is intended for kids to play with and looks like lots of fun because there are stickers to customize everything. There is also another set that is a playground and a conbini (Japanese convenience store).

I am crazy about conbini’s so I actually thinking of getting this. I won’t actually play with it of course – well – much! It is truly too cute for words. Sometime I will have to do a photo shoot of my Re-ment conbini. It is one of my favorite Re-ment set-ups. Next to the sushi bar that is. Oh, sometime I will have to share that too!
