Small Gift Big Smiles

The power of Hello Kitty never ceases to amaze me. I took my child, Lil Dollface who is 3 years 8 months old to the mall today and while we were eating lunch at the food court she spots the Sanrio store from afar. The store was as a magnet, whispering to her, come in come in... (while it said to me, spend money, spend money...)

The minute we walked into the store Lil Dollface eyes lit up like Ive never seen before and giggles ensued. It was amazing. She wanted to touch everything, and of course wanted me to buy everything. I had to admit the magic of Hello kitty worked on me too, as I perused the shelves it brought back memories of Junior high and friendships past when my tween friends and I got dropped of at the mall and went straight for the Sanrio store and bought each other little wallets, erasers, gum. I was definitely a Hello Kitty girl. Oh Little Twin Stars and My Melody weren't bad but how can anyone resist that white kitty face?

So we left the store with a bunch of little gifts that brought such childish pleasures to my daughter. It was so much fun. I relished in the fact that being a parent is a great opportunity to still love Hello Kitty.

ps: I bought Lil Dollface Hello Kitty pencil case, pen, temporary tattoos, a lollipop and couple of note pads. I spent $20 bucks which isnt bad at all and totally worth all the smiles. Oh and I really wanted

One Lump or Two?

It is about to rain again and I'm stuck in the dollhouse doing some doll-sitting (babysitting), which means all I can do is daydream about tea time...(sigh) It has been awhile since Best Friend and I had tea together...and shes feeling under the weather as well. Looking at teapots all morning has lifted my spirits and I thought I share with you this charming set...


Tea Set Red Toile...found browsing Teapots and More
I do have some cucumbers and cream cheese and some soft
white bread,perhaps I will settle myself for
tea with my dolls today.

update: I just heard that my mummy is visiting and bringing Chinese dim sum which is just as yummy as English style tea!


Sweet Pork Buns and Custard Tarts are scrumptious with a cup of piping hot Black Tea

What can be more heavenly?

...than strawberries and cream! Devoured at the Rose Tea Room at the Huntington Library and Botanical gardens! The tea room serves an ALL YOU CAN EAT! afternoon tea with delicious warm scones, six types of finger sandwiches which include smoked salmon, watercress and cream cheese... classic cool cucumber. Desserts are mini tartlets, heart shaped butter cookies, raspberry and lemon bars, truffles....but really they had me at Strawberries and Cream!

My Favorite Things


Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
