Lots of washi-holics and sock-o-holics here!

I'm a cat-o-holic (well, they are a let's sit under Katerina's balcony-holics)

ONE cat of all these is always having kittens, so she is named "MomKat" and

she follows me where ever I go in the neighborhood.

so, Kim, I guess "MomKat" is my cat :-)

Arrived!!! :)
It takes only 2 days to receive things I order on internet shopping malls in Korea.
So fast!
I love it! :)

Comment by Kim JungYoun on January 28, 2014 at 7:30am

WOW!!! I'm drooling now, Claire!
You are the QUEEN of washi!
Those are sooooo COOL!

Well, my apartment is very small.
You can see the zip lock bags are on the piano. Poor piano!
Some art supplies are even in my bedroom.
That's why I always try to keep tidy otherwise I can't find what I want. :(
(There is no room for my husband! haha!)

I plan to move to a large apartment in 8 years. (When I turn 50.)
I should stop buying washis to save money. hahaha!

I woke up at 4:00 pm today! (just half hour ago) Oh my!
I'm VERY lazy as a housewife.
I need morning coffee now. :)

I see you're into quantity Kim. You must have a big house for all that stuff - lol! %_^

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on January 28, 2014 at 4:47am

Forgot one from LL:

It's a "For Fun" tape - they are pretty thin plastic - dont stick great and rip easily, but they're cheap and I love the design.

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on January 28, 2014 at 4:46am

ha ha - I was wondering about that Kim.  Have you ever heard the English term "anal retentive?" I am the absolute opposite. That is: slob! Kim, I have to admiot, that's the first time I've heard of that - a zip lock fetish - lol! I think we might just say that you're a mad collector! (For me it's art supplies, books and CDs).

When I got back there were two registered mail slips from my x-mas "me!" spree. Some beauty's today - cheapies too [from pikwahchan - http://www.etsy.com/shop/pikwahchan) ]

. Some nice blues, will have to send more to Katerina...%_^

(Thanks to Vizma on this last one!)

And from Lightlife  (http://www.etsy.com/shop/LightLife?ref=l2-shopheader-name )

and she sent me some great presents - neat stamped cards, used stamps, and a roll of washi!

Comment by Kim JungYoun on January 27, 2014 at 9:11am

Mistyped!
Not "Mile Cap ziplok bags" but "Milk Cap". :)

Comment by Kim JungYoun on January 27, 2014 at 9:04am

P.S. "MomKat" is your cat's name?

Comment by Kim JungYoun on January 27, 2014 at 9:02am

Katerina> As I told you before, I've got the red striped cat washi, but I didn't have enough to send you so I ordered it again yesterday for you.
I'll send you some samples next time.
The blue samples are on the way to you now. :)

The cat is Sweden's artist, Lisa Larsons's work.
I think vizma has a cow washi.

BUT, I'm not a jewelry-holic! Too expensive for me! hahaha! :)

Comment by Kim JungYoun on January 27, 2014 at 8:51am

I'm a ziploc bag-holic, too.
I think ziploc bags are very good for not only storage but also arranging things.
Look! There are Mile Cap ziplok bags!!! :)

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on January 27, 2014 at 8:44am

OMG - lol - I said you were a madwoman!!! %_^ Well, at first I thought it was real too - it looks like it is if you ask me!

Isn't that tape Great?! I will send you a sample when I get it...

I think this may be a general group for collecting maniacs...? %_^

Comment by Kim JungYoun on January 27, 2014 at 8:36am

Ahahahaha! I thought it was real. How silly I am!
"NeatoShop" has so many funny & cool things!

I love those socks, too! (I'm a socks-holic, too.)
http://www.neatoshop.com/catg/Socks
These are my socks. There are so many funny and cute socks in these boxes. :)))

Is it okay for me to post not only washis but also anything else here?

Oh, that washi is sooooo lovely, Claire!

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on January 27, 2014 at 7:53am

Of course! I understand. (You have to be a limited addict like me & resigned to expensive %_^)

It's not real! (Kind of looks it though) The post was on a friend's timeline on FB:

'These plush toys are kind of like Pokemon only instead of catching them all, you've got to cuddle them all.

And thanks for your information! The search is on!... %_^

I love 'em too (of course! lol) Forgot one:

Comment by Kim JungYoun on January 27, 2014 at 7:47am

I haven't made a Washimatta purchase yet because it's quite expensive for me to get something on Washimatta. :(
When I use up all my stuff that I bought in Japan, I'll try to get something on Washimatta!
(But I don't know when I can use it up... too much!)
Thanks for your good information, Claire! :)

Comment by Kim JungYoun on January 27, 2014 at 7:43am

Claire, I'll be very happy to receive the sample from you although I have that. :)
Thanks in advance.

I love all your new washis very much!

I love the last one the most.

I got the arrow tape on Korean internet shopping mall, "roi".
(They don't ship worldwide.)
The brand name is "SOMI". (Chinese brand)
It's my first time to buy Chinese washis.

I think you can find it at Etsy or amazon.

Btw, what is that animal's name? Too cute!!!

It doesn't look real!

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on January 27, 2014 at 5:05am

btw Kim, did you make a Washimatta purchase? In case you are inclined in the future, try her store - the prices of the items and the shipping are cheaper:

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on January 27, 2014 at 5:01am

ok, non-sequitur here, but this was soooo damned cute I just had to share it!

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on January 27, 2014 at 1:26am

Okay, here are the results of the last (mt washi) week:

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on January 26, 2014 at 11:09pm

Well, Kim...just look at that super washi with the red striped cat on the BLUE!

Now that's a MomKat! :-)
