I got a ’2012′ desk calendar box of Nekomura-san this year as well. She is an animated character of a cat that is a professional housekeeper.
The box of the ’2012′ desk calender is very gorgeous!
Some accessories are included in the box such as a notebook, a handkerchief, post cards, a sticker and a folder. It is very difficult to use them because everything has her smiles!

I stopped by a shop of ‘Hato Sable’ that is a very famous sable (cookies) shop in Kamakura before I left Kamakura in order to buy its folding umbrella.
The main store sells not only ‘Hato Sable’ that is the most popular pigeon shaped cookies in their shop but also their original items that are sold only at the main store in Kamakura.
And, I got their lovely folding umbrella with a pigeon shaped wooden handle.
The fabric is printed shapes of the ‘Hato Sable’, also it is protected from Ultraviolet.

Three star pouch from Tsumori Chisato attached with InRed magazine.
The print on that is same as Tsumori’s early spring design named “shooting heart”.
Many pockets inside, I can’t believe this is freebie…
Of course it has three stars on zipper pulls.

My friend held their birthday party at Hive Cafe in Iidabashi. It is a cafe managed by the well-known bakery Boulangerie A in Hanzoumon, and fresh baked bread is brought in twice a day.
Aside from things like pizza and spaghetti, there is also a plentiful assortment of wines to choose from.
The spinach gnocchi was particularly delicious!
And the fresh made bread was so good I felt like I could eat it forever.
The interior is decorated with exquisite furniture and is very comfortable.
Latest limited flavor of Kinoko no Yama (Chocorooms) is for early spring, strawberry and condensed milk.
The cute packages are full of kawaii strawberry illustrations, and the box says, “if you find the flowers on packages, you are lucky!”
Can you see the flowers on this? Have a lucky day!
