stamps

There are lots of nice stamps to be found in Japan - in museums, at train stations, and on the ferry.

look after the pennies

i found one



a while back i posted about how i really wanted a piggybank for saving up my pennies (pounds) and the other day i found this little fellow in a charity shop. i love the flowery pattern on him, and how his nostrils look like commas. cute. hope i don't get too attached or i'll find it tricky to smash him when he gets full up.

i'm collecting 2 pound coins at the moment so if you have any spare then do send them in :-)

i realised today that i never posted a picture (or did i? correct me if I'm wrong) of these wonderful handcarved stamps i picked up at glastonbury festival:



i haven't got round to using them for much yet but I'm sure they'll come in handy (they are so nice!)
