✨Happy Tanabata! ✨ I drew this for my calendar a few years ago. Tanabata's a major summer festival in Japan. Legend says two star-crossed lovers can only meet once a year by crossing a bridge of magpies' wings - but only if it doesn't rain. 🎋

Woohoo, my stocktake is done (my least fav job!). 😅 The stockroom always turns up some surprises, so some sizes of t-shirts/dresses may be back if yours was out of stock before.

Just one size of Starry Night dress left! UK size 6-8 (XS) - fits chest size 30-36" cakeswithfaces.co.uk/product/star...

I use my video editing software to auto-generate subtitles for my videos, and sometimes it comes up with some gems (understandably, it struggles with Japanese names!) Kura Sushi = curiosity Joypolis = joy police Miraikan = Mirai Khan Abashiri (place in Hokkaido) = obituary

When you search for "Kobe" on Google Maps & it gives you a steak restaurant called Kobe Sizzlers 🙄😂

When you're filming a bit about typhoons, and a thunderstorm starts...! ⛈️

I often bump into viewers/followers in Japan, but I didn't expect to meet someone today in Lidl 😂 and have a chat about Japan!

Sold out! 🐾🐾🐾

More t-shirt sizes have started selling out - no more IlluminaTea ladies XL: cakeswithfaces.co.uk/product/illu...

I had lots of orders from the t-shirts offer, so if yours wasn't despatched yesterday, it'll be on the way today! 😅

That's a first - I often get offered stuff in exchange for videos, but this is the first time I've been offered an endoscopy (it's in Japan at least, so I suppose not the most off-topic request, but...!)

✨ A special t-shirt offer for you for the weekend! ✨ All t-shirts are 2 for £25 (about $34) with code 2FOR25 Some designs don't have many sizes left - they won't be restocked! cakeswithfaces.co.uk/product-cate...

I always wish they'd ordered it earlier! :-)
