...yesterday my friend Mari told me to watch out for something in the mail. I was expecting to get one of her delicious concoctions, but instead she surprised me with a set of the Japanese masking tape I've been coveting! I screamed like a kid at a candy store. Who knows what I'll do with it but all I know is that I love it. They've been discontinued online at DWR, but I've been told that there are a few left at the Tools for Living store locations... {Thanks Mari!}

Oh I've been hunting these down too! But the Aussie dollar completely sucks right now!! Maybe it will keep me in check ;)
Have fun! I'm sure you'll find something to do with them. There'll just be random colourfully-taped things lying around your house everywhere.

I've been trying for weeks to order this tape! Thanks for sharing a new source, not even sure what I'm going to do with it but seem to want it for some reason. It's fabulous! I'll find something fun fo it.

I love that colored tape excites you to such a degree.

I bought some directly from Japan awhile ago because of some photos in the following link. Great inspiration on how to use the tapes.
