what i bought on our trip

in planning our trip to singapore i was very excited about all the lovely japanese goodness we hoped to find there. its close proximity to japan makes the city/state a natural place for export. some quick research revealed several places ann and i first loved from tokyo, like takashimaya, muji, and kinokuniya. i was also super-duper happy that we'd finally make it to daiso, the japanese outlet store. on our last day, with a few last singapore dollars in our pockets, we headed there to stock up on all things cute and unnecessary.

while ann unpacked her new best friend the other day, i snapped a pic of my purchases from the two weeks we were gone. you can see notes on most items here.

i am in love with all the painted wooden toys found not just in singapore, but also, unexpectedly, in manila. i'll just say that ann raised a definite eyebrow over that wooden tree down there on the right.
