Yohaku Washi Tapes

We now have Yohaku washi tapes in the shop. I’ve been so excited for this, anxiously awaiting the shipment from Japan. I’ve had a moderate-sized collection of Yohaku tapes that’s been growing over the last years. I picked up several rolls when we were in Japan five years ago, and I’ve only added to them since.

I love them in my journal pages, in my Traveler’s Notebook, and they add a subtle touch to gifts, when you’re wrapping or adding a gift tag or note. Some of them are going to be great for the holiday season coming up, but they’re mostly all such careful and delightful designs.

One of my favourite things to do is to catalogue the new tapes into my Life notebook, which I generally do late at night, babies asleep, headphones playing something

In any case, time and weather and daylight savings stop for no man, and my bare ankles have met the frosty cold with regret. Chicken has not quite moved back in with his humans, but I’m looking forward to the imminent return of the prodigal son. We will not be slaughtering any fattened calf, but there will be snuggling and nose booping. Just as good, if not better.
