My hair stylist is from Japan and when she flies home there is a Totoro shop in or near the airport. She brought me the nicest gift box with Totoro hand towels, a cell phone bag plushie, and small key chain and the cutest mug!
Peanut blossoms...
I was stashing peanut butter for a while and I'm finally down to the last bottle. The kisses were left over from Halloween. Surprisingly I have never made this classic from Hersheys. I used my convection oven and they turned out yummy even with the extra chunky peanut butter. I bet they don't last long.
Noro SG 47...
My shop therapy from Little Knits has come! What a deal for $5.40/skein. I think Kim is thinking about another Clapotis with hers. I'm not sure, but I'm wondering how it will look in a chevron pattern or Old Shale. Perhaps even this lace-knitting-impaired Hawaiian can knit Old Shale?
Sales in the shop! Thank you everyone for the support!
and of course, GREAT PEOPLE!
I have so much to be thankful for! I'm going to have a giveaway. I don't know what I'm going to giveaway yet, but hey, it's free and knitting related! Leave a comment before midnight, November 23, Hawaiian time and on November 24 I will pick name or two.
Oooohhhh!! A mystery giveaway! I'm in--as long as it's not a free trip to Hawaii, okay?
ReplyDeleteOld shale is pretty. I welcome the new Noro to Nuuanu. A store dedicated to Master Totoro?! Don't you want to go to Tokyo?
ReplyDeletei just had some peanut blossom cookies on friday and they were yummy! pretty noro colorway and nice totoro goodies - you lucky!
ReplyDeleteThose cookies look good, and that's gorgeous yarn!
ReplyDeleteI think the cell phone plushie is sneaking cookies!
ReplyDeleteI love the Totoro swag and the new Noro. Such lovely eye candy. :))
ReplyDeleteSounds like you got some wonderful presents! I've never made those cookies either, but I just might try them! I'll take Lisa's free trip back home to Hawai'i!
ReplyDeletei just can't get over how cute those totoro's are!!!
ReplyDeleteIts a T party! So cute! Totoros are all over the place in Japan, unlike here. There's even an all Totoro store in Akasaka in Tokyo that you would love. Those cookies would be really good this morning...
ReplyDeleteyou always have the best totoro stuff! :)
ReplyDeleteOh man, I love peanut butter blossoms. Serious love.
ReplyDeleteCute totoro.
Those Totoros are adorable. Now I have a hankering to make those cookies. Fortunately for me, they just had a huge sale on peanut butter at the store (10 for $10) so I'm all stocked up.
ReplyDeleteA mystery give-away? Sounds like fun. Count me in, please. Those cookies look tasty. And your Totoros are the cutest!
ReplyDeleteCute gifties and great noro! Always a good combination. :)
ReplyDeleteI resisted the Little Knits Silk Garden sale only because she didn't have the color I wanted. The prices on some of the Noro yarns are great.
ReplyDeletei love me a good giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your knitted Totoro!
