I have a terrible weakness for Asian paper goodies, so I'm really excited to post this giveaway from Ginko Papers. Shop owner Garin Hussenjian flies to Japan, hunts for the very cutest stationery items, and brings them back here for us to drool over: cards, stationery sets, stickers, erasers, and decorative masking tapes that everyone is going nuts for. Garin has also visited Japanese designer Shinzi Katoh, who is becoming increasingly popular in the U.S. If you love his style, you can snap up lots of Shinzi Katoh products at Ginko Papers. Would you like some free goodies?
