Akanbe!

When I was in Lorne last weekend, I found this incredible basket which turns into a BLANKET! I am still getting over it, to be honest. Picnic basket, craft organiser, baby things - the list of uses could be endless, really. I didn't end up buying it, but I have been thinking of it for a while.

'Akanbe' or あかんべ is actually a Japanese facial gesture, where you pull one eye down while you stick out your tongue, so this little bag is even cuter.

  2. That is too cute. But, of course, my mind had a split second thought of: Kate's having a baby? But then I realised that I haven't been in the thesis cave that long, have I? xx

  3. @ Academic Hopeful: Yes! I realise that was ambiguous: I am not having a baby: just thought it was a perfect bag for baby things!
