in the two books mentioned above 'dots & stripes' and 'flowers and leaves' there are these great lifestyle shots that show the ways in which you can use the patterns for home projects, such as CD covers, badges and sweet wrappers.

JAPANESE CUTE
a pencil case seen in kinokuniya san francisco led me to research japanese brand midori. but with few products pictured on their website i landed here at paper creation where i found all these lovely designs and most midori products listed.
