New cards!

I have some new cards!  I wanted to wait until I could put them in the shop to show you but I'm too excited!  I'm just waiting on the envelopes for them to come in, should only be a couple of days.  I really love how they've turned out.. I hope you like them too!  

>> edit: these guys are in my shop now!

Hanami

I've finally got around to looking through all my cherry blossom photos.  I've posted probably way too many here, but enjoy!  These were taken in the beautiful Shinjuku Gyoen.  I've stayed in Shinjuku a few times but I never knew this beautiful park existed.  A friend took me there at the start of my trip, just as the cherry blossoms were starting to bloom.  We went back a week later and the whole park was popping with blossoms.  I've always wanted to see the cherry blossoms in Japan so we were so lucky that our trip happened to coincide with sakura season, even if you plan it sometimes the blossoms won't come out to play, so I'm very happy we got to see them.

Tokyo Snippets

Blimey I have had an absolutely mental week!  Husband's label is releasing a new record next week and I've been working my butt off getting the preorders shipped.  Just got the last of them off and I've come up for some air so I thought I'd show you some highlights from my Tokyo photos.  Next time I'll do a post with some photos of the beautiful cherry blossoms we saw.  Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to collapse in  a heap.

Jetlag

Back from Tokyo.  It was great.  Really great.  I bought so many pens.  You have no idea.  So many pens.

Unfortunately I spent the whole time trying to get my body in to Tokyo time.  I think I succeeded about the day before we left.  Now I'm back in London and my body doesn't know what the heck is going on.  I thought this self portrait rather captured how I'm feeling.

On a good note, we fluked it and managed  to be there for Hanami.  It was beautiful.  I got a load of great photos which I will share with you soon!  In the mean time, what day is it?
