stationery in aeon

Last month I blew up my credit card for hobonichi madness. I bought things that happened to be beyond my budget. But well, it's hobonichi and it's hard to say no. 

So I promised myself not to spend anything on stationery for this month.

But I relapsed. 

I went to Aeon on BSD last weekend. As it was my first time to go there, I didn't know what to expect. Then I saw this. 

Aaaaaaa....... I just couldn't resist. So I grabbed some.

And some of these...

And finally, these are things I bought. A small tote bag (cute cats), some washis, a pocket notebook (another cute cat on the cover), sticky mini page marker, sticky to do  list, a pocket cash log book, several other post it notes for dietary or expenses (have no idea, cos it's in Japanese.. I bought them cos they look cute), some sticky notes in the shape of sumo wrestler, and some deco rush.

Looks not much, but in total, they cost me big time. Oh well.. 

petit deco rush

Deco tape is a thin tape with pattern (decoration) on it. It looks like correction tape, it works like correction tape, but the tape is decorated instead of white. The well known brand is Deco Rush from Japan. Deco tape was quite hype among stationery enthusiast couple of years ago. I don't think they still are now.

Compared to washi tapes, deco tape is not something that can be shared. I mean, a roll of washi tape can be cut off into smaller length and shared within some of friends. The smaller (shorter) roll of washi is known as 'samples'. That way, you still have cute washi in cheaper way. This is not the case with deco tape. Although a deco tape may cost less than a roll of good quality washi, but it's still unusual to swap deco tape. In term of use, once you swipe the deco rush on paper, it stays. You can't pull it off or reposition it like washi.

So, the Deco Rush is getting scarce these days. There are Petit Deco Rush, though.. it's the smaller version of Deco Rush. This Petit Deco Rush is disposable thus non-refillable. I actually like the design of its body shape. But, there's no cap and it's not clickable like the regular Deco Rush. So well.. I bought a lot of Petit Deco Rush lately, but I haven't use them. I guess I'm more like a hoarder in this case.
