Japanese masking tape & new spice jars

One of my favorite shops in Helsinki, Pino, now sells these fantastic japanese paper tapes. I had seen them before on a few design blogs, but never really got myself to order any, because they were previously only available from japanese and US online shops.

I also found these lovely glass containers at Indiska. Usually I write the spice names straight onto the glass which is annoying when you want to change the contents. So, now i used the paper tape and i love how they turned out. I reckon I'll buy some more of these pretty jars before they are out of stock.
