I love your brooches. I get a different one each year for my friends birthday and she loves them too. Original and cute! =D
This Christmas card was so cute! Fast shipping from the UK. The packaging was taken with great care, it was very precise, and well organized. This card came with a special gift, which was a Gingerbread 2012 calendar with the same artwork, so along with the card, it was a very cute pair! Also as a second gift, I received a Hello Card, which could be used as a second card! It was really very cute and I was pleasantly surprised. I will shop here again! I recommend this seller.
My order arrived quickly in France ! It was like opening a cute present :))) i love the cards , the christmas wrapping, sticky notes and labels !!! I have also appreciated the goodies you have added to my order ;) it s always nice to receive surprises !!! Love the feeling ! Thanks so much
Love the rainboots! They always get comments when I wear them because they’re so unusual and the pattern is so pretty. They fit me really well, keep my feet dry & are also good in the snow – perfect!
hi marceline, your rain boots are amazing! they are much admired and everyone says how great the vintage pattern is, beautiful colours too. we had so much snow that i put them on to walk to the shops, and they are just as effective as snow boots :) xx
I absolutely loved your 10 days in Tokyo zine. Such good value for money and a wonderful read. I can’t wait to go back there and put the shopping guide to work!! Thank you!
Marceline you are wonderful! I have bought so many little bits from you now, and you’re always the first place I look for gifties for my friends these days! The toast pin was my last purchase, and it is adorable! I can’t resist, I’m going to have to buy some more for everyone else I know! Plus the delivery was super speedy! You’re like some kind of super woman!
I won a gift pack giveaway about two years ago. Everything in it was adorable and great quality! I would definitely recommend Asking for Trouble to anyone I know.
I sent the volcano card I bought from you to my nephew for his 3rd birthday. Despite getting all sort of fancy pop-up dinosaur cards, he apparently told his granny that the “volcane-dough” card was his favourite. Aw!
ps I loved it too! :)
Hi, I just bought some of your things and just wanted to say thank you for all the cute stuff! The busy bee organiser makes having lots of things to do less tedious and always makes me smile!
And I really love your “ten days in tokyo”-zine, it reminds me of the first time I went to Tokyo with my sister (therefore I bought two – one for her, one for me :))
Now I only have to decide what to get next… keep up the fantastic work! I love it!!
Hi Marceline
I just wanted to let you know how I am getting on with your lovely little organising pad. It is great! I have been using the bit on the left for my main to-do list, the bit on the right for things I need to buy, and the bit at the bottom for all my crafty ideas. I’m definitely more organised with it, and it makes being organised fun!
I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed both the 10 days in Tokyo and the shopping guide. I’m planning my first trip to Tokyo this Fall; none of the big guides have been that inspiring, but yours are. Even my husband, who has no desire to go to Tokyo, thought they were a great read. (He still isn’t going.)
Thanks for the prompt delivery. I was hoping for more info on spending time around Tokyo – price guidelines for travel and where best to stay to get the most out of a 10-14 day stay in and around Tokyo. But thanks for your views
Hi Marceline
Everything has arrived and is brilliant. Is it wrong to keep some for myself instead of giving everything away as Christmas pressies I wonder.
Thanks
Dear Marceline,
I just returned from Japan yesterday and wanted to tell you that your “Tokyo Shopping Guide” was the most useful guidebook I had! I visited Loft, Tokyu Hands, Okadaya, and Ito-Ya and found each store without a problem. I left Japan with: handmade paper, rubber stamps, stickers (so many stickers!), pens…
Thank you again!
Pooja
Thank you so much for the amazing work on my custom order of chiyogami mini-notebooks! They all came out absolutely beautiful, communication during the process was prompt, and nothing was sketchy. <3 Will definitely buy from you again.
Bought an ‘initial book heart’ as part of my friends’ birthday present.
It only cost me £1.00 because it was an ‘A’, and the delivery was only 75p.
Even better was that it arrived the morning after it was despatched.
Might buy something for myself now…
Hello, This is my first time in this shop. Excellent experience. I love my cards, “post-it” notes and mini bag.
Thanks for sharing your love of Japan.
Thank you Marceline,
Your guide was in my letter box this morning with the cute cards !!
It was really fast !
Hello, just got the Tokyo shopping guide in the mail today. Thank you. It will come in handy when I go to Japan next month ! Beatrice (France).
Thanks so much for the Jammy Dodger card, it made a perfect ‘love and biscuits’ birthday greeting!
The card arrived so quickly too.
Hi Marceline
I received my lovely parcel from you in the mail yesterday. Thanks so much, am thrilled with the goodies! I am accompanying my husband to Tokyo next August when he has a conference so I am already planning my fabric shopping.
Am sure my friends will love the goodies I bought from you which will be pressies over the next while.
I ordered a few items as gifts for friends and family. They came very qickly and well packaged. They are so cute I will be back for more.
My friend just sent me one of your cute Cakeify badges and a pink I Love Buttons bag! I am in love with them both. You’re so clever! Just wanted to tell you that I think your work is ace.
All the best
Laura
Your wee Jammie Dodger card is genius! Thanks for getting it to me in time for Valentine’s Day. I’ll certainly buy some more bonnie things!
