I get spoiled living in Hawaii... Japanese publications, imports and media are everywhere.
One of the coolest things about living here is the Ala Moana Q-pot store. It opened in about August of last year. They hold all kinds of events, like Halloween Costume Contests, visits from the designer Tadaaki Wakamatsu, and the store is usually decorated to reflect the season. (Right now the shop is still decorated for Valentine's Day, so cute!)

The jewelry is kept in pastry cases. In the front, the lamps on the ceiling are shaped like milk pitchers. In the back show room, a chandelier made of forks and spoons sheds soft light on the chocolate brown walls, making the candied treasures glitter. The friendly staff is always eager to assist... I feel like a Princess when I visit them.
There are seasonal pieces, such as last year's Snow Globe necklace in winter, and this year's Valentines Day Melty Chocolate series.
I saw the Melty Chocolate stationery set online a few weeks ago, so went to the store to get it. Unfortunately, it wasn't even for sale yet when I got there! But the staff took my name and number, and gave me a call as soon as it was available.
I picked it up a few days ago (for a reasonable price of $17, including tax).
The set comes with 5 envelopes, lots of adorable paper, and the same gold sticker seals they use on their shopping bags.
I hope my penpals have a sweet tooth!
PS- Do you like my Q-pot Macaron Ring?
That really sounds like the most adorable shop ever! I'm really quite jealous! The fork and spoon chandelier sounds amazing!
