I picked up this super cute 2011 planner in NYC and thought I would share it since it was so cute.
The attention to detail is really amazing and I love the patchwork.
The planner is really pretty too with colors and patterns throughout the months. It even has horoscopes and fashion info and even though I can't read it I still like looking at it.
The back contains pretty papers for notes and such. I think once the year is over I'll probably use a lot of these pages for art projects.
Surprisingly enough I didn't get any Japanese craft books. Trish got two though so I took some photos of them and will post them here since she doesn't have a blog. I didn't get enough time in there to look for craft books myself because I hung around the stationary section too long. Maybe next time. :)
Don't mind this link below. I am trying this new reader out.



What a cool calendar! I love all those pretty details too. And those inside pages, especially the fashion illustrations, are so fun!

Hi Monica,
Kinokuniya is the bookstore where I get my Japanese books & the planner. They are right around Bryant Park. :)

Thank you Staci, the next time I "go home" to NYC I will make Kinokuniya a stop. Also, I'll watch your blog for ideas about fabric stores (remnants, old kimono, and more).
Thank you, happy new year!
