I ordered my first Momiji doll on Amazon the other week thinking that there wasn't a single store in Houston that carried these little figurines. I was WRONG! I noticed that my little Momiji was shipped from this store called Tansu and it was right here in Houston. So I made a special trek over to the Heights area to check this place out. It's so crazy how much the Heights area has changed! From what I could see just driving by, there are a lot of cute stores and cafes and I have already begun rounding up some folks to go back there with me one day when I have time. So the only store I went to was Tansu. Tansu specializes in trinkets, novelties, origami and even furniture. It's basically all things cool in my book. I would have loaded up on all this junk if things were just a tad bit cheaper. I visited the mini wall of Momiji's they had to offer. The bf rolled his eyes as I gushed over which one I would get. The worker lady there told us that she ships out at least twenty of those suckers everyday. See, I'm not the only wasteful person out there. Hah! I already have one for myself, which I'll introduce in another blog, but I went ahead and bought two more since I have two friends who have birthdays in September. The bf queried my friends possible disinterest in these things. I actually don't really care. It's either this or no gift at all! I actually should have bought three since I have a friend with a birthday THIS weekend. I may have to make a trip out there sooner than I thought. I must apologize for the crappy looking photos. The worker lady was super nice and said it was cool if I took pictures, but I didn't wanna walk around flashing all over the place.
Tansu sells a lot of unique cards.
I super love cherry blossom trees. They're just gorgeous and supremely romantical!
I'm so silly. I have this yellow origami bird that I got from this Yellow Magazine event from awhile back. Like almost two whole years ago. And the word Tansu is written on the bird. And I remember telling myself, I should go there one day.
Momiji heaven!
Whenever I get my own place, I don't want a fancy schmancy dinner table, I want a picnic style family table just like this one!

agh they are SO cute. how the heck do you HEAR about all these dam toys/dolls? like do you see one you like and just look up what series they're from or do you browse the internet? i remember i would just see these toys in shops and then buy if i see them at any other shops.

I was looking to get some Family Guy Star Wars bobble-head figurines for the bf from Urban Outfitter's and their website had the Momiji's on it. And while shopping at the actual store one day, I saw the boxes of dunny's and decided to buy one and BAM. Addiction! Then browsing internet ensues. So yeah, basically I see something I like from somewhere and then I look it up.
wah! that place looks like tons of fun. i will have to drop by there. so many cute things! -chelle
