Future, past and present.

Hello Kitty looks as cute as the day she was created back in 1975, a Sanrio product created by Yuko Shimizu. This pretty little Kitty is every where, a renewed interest in Ms Kitty thanks to my Niece - Sister-in-law, lovely to share an interest for collecting. I think my favourite goodie is a mini gumball machine I found in Topshop a few years ago. (Image below)

Its hard to resist the cute Japanese stationery, well to be fair, any stationery and stickers lol. Are you a collector to?

Introducing to the shop, a Hello Kitty necklace, along with sweet wooden/painted Hello Kitty pin brooch, other cute characters available, along with mini magnets. Necklace £5.95

Love to collect knick knacks, kitsch items, and from my childhood a love of pigs, I couldn't tell you where, or when that love of trotters and curly tails emerged from, slowly but surely, just like the rest of my finds from travels etc, they have taken over.
