Paper Automata and Mini Sweets!
Yesterday, as field trip/attempt to leave the house, I went to Craf'it, a scrapbooking paper store and cafe in Sunnyvale. I purchased a flying pig paper automata (Flying Pig site info below) and a Walter Rufller Red Knight. I also acquired a Puchi Petite Mini Sweets box (I got the cupcakes!). You have got to see the Mini Sweets website, and the mini meals, and the mini sushi. They are all terribly cute and have handpainted details. I want! Check out Jbox.com for even more of these miniatures by Re-Ment.
