New item: kawaii pinback buttons!

com

Yay! I recently bought a professional Tecre button machine and I've started making kawaii pinback buttons. They're so much fun to put together and they're now available in my shop individually, in sets, and as random grab bags! Show off your love for kawaii by pinning these buttons to your backpack, purses, or clothes. One of my friends hangs a lanyard full of pinback buttons off her backpack, which is a totally cute idea.

What do you guys like to do with pinback buttons? Collect them or wear them?

Hannari Tofu plushies!

com As some of you who follow my Flickr may know, I've been collecting Hannari Tofu plushies for about two years now. I love my adorable collection very much, but it's time for me to let some of them go to help pay for my grad school applications :/ They can't be listed on Etsy since they're not handmade so they're available instead at my Ecrater shop, go take a look! If you would like to pay by concealed cash instead, please email me at xiwang.love@gmail.com. Thanks for your support and hope everyone in the U.S. has been having a fun and safe holiday!

 P.S. Don't forget to stop by Panda Love Shop's Facebook page for a special Fourth of July coupon code! It'll only be active until midnight on July 5 so don't wait to use it!

I have tons of empty sticker sacks laying around and I've been wondering what to do with them.

I made a few with different themes this weekend and they're now available in the shop ^___^
