Sorry, another stationery haul post =X But I just love cute stationery (and yes, I do share with all my kids so often not much of it is left over for me haha) and cute stationery hauls usually just look nice on pics =D
One of my favorite sellers right now is glenns2634 on eBay who is located in Japan and is listing the cutest erasers, pens etc.
Here is the haul:





The Sakura Collection pens from Ballsign are my fave item, 10 pens in pink-tones! How sweet =D

Stationery love: Japanese Ohajiki PVC disc stickers

If you see this post on another site than lotuspalace.blogspot.com it has been stolen and used without my permission. I only allow reposts with proper credits for my work (please contact me first!)!
It´s been some time since my last stationery post =) I just dearly love and collect all kinds of cute Japanese (mostly)/Korean/Chinese stationery and my favorite collective items are ohajiki sticker discs.

I don´t know if you have seen them before but they are available from many big Japanese stationery brands (though oddly I have never seen ones from San-X!) in packs of 15 (along with 20 regular flat paper stickers).

The ohajiki (or PVC/plexiglass) stickers are small clear discs with a holographic sticker attached to the bottom and a clear plastic foil which can be removed to stick the ohajiki somewhere or you can just leave it on and keep the disc as is. E.g. to play an ohajiki game.

My kids love these, too, and they are great little rewards for them so they collect them in small tin boxes (we love the ones from Yozocraft) as you can see below. For them those boxes are like little treasure chests and they take them everywhere to look at the "coins" or to swap them =)
Actually I like to give them to other kids around us, too, as those things are not available here and so far everyone was excited to get ohajikis =)

Retail in Japan is 220 Yen per pack (available from e.g. Kamio, Qlia, Pool Cool, Crux). The seller I rely on is CutePaperEtc on Etsy who offers the best variety and best prices (most sellers charge above US$4-5 per pack). Or if you don´t mind to get an assortment without the original packaging the best deal can be scored from zerofantasies (50 pcs for US$6 plus shipping).

If you don´t know what to do with these, then check these super cute comics from the back of packages from Qlia and Pool Cool:

Cosmetic Candy Shop - Get cute stationery, jewellery and beauty tools

If you see this post on another site than lotuspalace.blogspot.com it has been stolen and used without my permission. I only allow reposts with proper credits for my work (please contact me first!)!

My blogger buddy Rowena from Cosmetic Candy opened her own online shop Cosmetic-Candy-Shop for cute stationery, beauty tools and jewellery from Asia!
I received a package with a great assortment of items from her:


I got this beautiful ring with a pink stone:

And falsies plus applicator:


A mascara helper incl. lash comb:

A foaming net (I love these nets and use one for quite some time already. Helps to create thick lush lather with any kind of foaming cleanser!)


And these silicone massage face pads are really neat! The handles are also suction cups to attach the pads to the bathroom wall:



Some cute stationery... Love the cute cat-themed triple notepad and notebook! The pen is so cute, too!







I definitely recommend checking out her shop=D!

Stationery haul from Gmarket

If you see this post on another site than lotuspalace.blogspot.com it has been stolen and used without my permission. I only allow reposts with proper credits for my work (please contact me first!)! I actually bought this stuff a while ago but thought of posting some pics! All was purchased on Gmarket from some random sellers (e.g. 하루디자인문구, 에뛰드하우스 직영샵).

I really love Korean stickers and other stuff =) I have a secret hobby (making gift tags hehe) and those stickers and also stamps are just the best =)

I really have a soft spot for those tin cases filled with those polaroid-style postcards (usually around 50 pcs per pack) =)

And those postcards are my faves!

Small Japankawaiiya haul incl. a really cool Q-Lia stamp set =)

Sorry for yet another stationery post lol... don´t worry, beauty posts will follow soon but right now I don´t have much new stuff to review. 
Anyway, I hauled a few goodies from Japankawaiiya, this time from her Etsy store as she doesn´t have the cool stickers and stamps in her webshop.

I got cute capsule stickers from San-X Kutusita Nyanko and Rilakkuma as I really love these kind of stickers and I thought both were really super cute. Actually I usually don´t know what to use them for ecxcept for gift wrapping or putting on my iphone or other gadgets lol... anyway, my kids usually have some good use for these, too, so I will share them =X

I also got a roll of sticky tape (forgot to take a pic of it =X) and 2 paper punches (they were on sale).

The coolest thing is this stamp set from Q-Lia though! You get a clear acrylic block and can attach whichever combo of stamps you want. The stamps are made of silicone which sticks to the block without any glue and can easily be removed. Just assemble your desired design, stamp, wash off and put the stamps back on the clear plasic sheet.
The set also includes a blue pigment ink stamp pad for a clear and even result.
This is really a nice set, my kids are playing with it now all the time haha
 
Here´s an example:

Yozocraft stationery haul, my primped iPad and my new Instax Mini 7s =)

Yozocraft.com has become one of my favorite sellers as of lately... the variety of super sweet, often vintage-style stationery is just too cute to resist and the prices are really good! Most products are either from Korea or China (but good-quality things!) and a few are from Japan. 
Korean stationery tends to be quite different from Japanese...less kawaii stuff and bright colors going on, but rather a "European" or "vintage chic" theme... I personally like both styles but as I said...overall a bit different.
As I mentioned above the prices are really good, the Korean stuff tends to be around or slightly above retail price...e.g. I got this really cool 24-sheet sticker set which retails for 8800 Won (a bit over US$8) and I paid US$10...not a bad increase and it´s much cheaper (shipping-wise) to pick up the stickers from Yozocraft rather than Gmarket...
As you see I got plenty of stickers, note books, memo pads, card cases... 

And here is my primped iPad... I only used stickers from the 24-sheet set. The stickers are not precut so it´s perfect to do any sort of creative art (scrapbooking etc.) with them... I like how it came out!
The reflection on the screen comes from a clear plastic cover protecting the layer of stickers.
Last week I got an order from Gmarket containing my new Fujifilm Instax Mini 7s, a magnifying lens, some films and a case for it. I also got free battery covers in 4 colors.
The quality of the pics is alright, not the best for sure but that´s the thing about Polaroids. Also the films are pricey but overall it´s a nice little toy to have around =P
 
Oh and since I spoke about Japanese stationery... this is a recent haul from glenns2634 on eBay...those matcha latte KitKats were seriously delicious!
