I bought your two Tokyo zines at the Glasgow Craft Mafia market and I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed reading them. I went on a tour of Japan in 2006, and reading about your experiences brought back loads of memories. I related to so many of the things you mentioned – getting bored of even the flight map over Russia, thinking that Japan looks just like Britain, trying all the unusual foods and drinks. You make me wish that I was going back to Japan soon, so I could look at all the interesting shops that I didn’t have a chance to see last time. Your zines are really well-written and your enthusiasm for everything Japanese comes across in them well.
It arrived promptly the next day which was brilliant as I needed it for a friends Birthday on the Saturday. She thought it was wonderful and I’ve given your card to her, so hopefully you will get some more orders!
Thanks very much for my order, its fab, really speedy delivery, and beautifully packed!, shall return to order again soon!

Hi Marceline,
I just got my tokyo zine and shopping guide in the post (only a couple of days after ordering!) andthey are wonderful. I’m having a hard time putting them down and not greedily reading them both all in one go. I hope to go to tokyo one day, hopefully when I get there some of these wondeful places you describe will still be there! Thanks for the sweet goodies and the cute buisness cards.

Hi Marceline,
I just wanted to say that your website is fab! There is sooo much choice of all these amazing, unique products that you just can’t find anyware else. You were so attentive letting me know that my order has been processed and on its way which is really helpfull and reasuring especially with internet shopping! My notebook and bookmark came within just 2 days of ordering and they are sooo nice, a little smaller then I expected but good things come in small packages! I’ve already recomended this website to all my friends as you can find really personal presents for christmas and secret santa!
Thanks for everything (including the sweet little goodies that I got with my order!)

Hi Marceline,
Having just received your shopping and Tokyo guides, I’m now so excited to go and I haven’t even started reading them! I’m sure they are going to be an invaluable resource for my upcoming trip! Many thanks!! :-)

Hello Marceline
Yesterday you lighted up my day!! I have just received my 10 Diskant years zine and the Tokyo shopping guide!!!!
I was soo excited and then I saw the lovely Rirarikkuma picture and the Gocco thank you card and I just melted of delight and cuteness so I wanted to thank you sooo much for everything, I paid so little and got sooo much in return!
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!
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
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.
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.
Thanks so much for the Jammy Dodger card, it made a perfect ‘love and biscuits’ birthday greeting!
The card arrived so quickly too.
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).
Thank you Marceline,
Your guide was in my letter box this morning with the cute cards !!
It was really fast !
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.
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…
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.
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
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
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
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.)
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!
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!!
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! :)
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.
