Not one…

…but two ways to win…

We’re giving away the shirts off our backs!  Well, not exactly, but we have noticed many of you coveting our Sweet Breams logo tees.  So, we’ve decided to start weekly giveaways!  Fan us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter, and you’ll be able to enter to win a number of awesome prizes in addition to our Sweet Breams logo tees (…mayhaps the chance to choose your own Catch of the Week…).  First giveaway will take place this Friday, 26 February.  =)

Now available at Sweet Breams, nine of Momiji’s awesome hand painted resin message dolls.  Inside every one there is a tiny folded card for your own secret message!  All dolls are approximately 8cm (3in) tall.

(LOVE the packaging.)

Awesome last minute-holiday gift (Funny Girl, $18)!  To see all nine of the dolls (they’re all collectors’ items too!) PLUS the other super spiffy items we’re carrying from Momiji, check out our webstore! Yeah, we’re total suckers for cute.  =)

We love receiving photos like the one above — nothing makes Tiny and Tasty happier than seeing taiyaki being enjoyed.   Some day, we’ll have a proper photo gallery section on our website where you’ll be able to upload your photos.  =)  For now, you can share your photos on our Facebook fan page.

CATCH OF THE WEEK: We think that Mint Chocolate Chip might become a Sweet Breams’ classic.  =)  We are happy to serve it this week for one of our special Breamies over at The Golden Crate.

We’re in the process of uploading photos from Meet Me Under the Cherry Blossoms onto our Flickr page (we now have a Flickr group you can join!), so definitely check back soon to view them.  Again, Tiny and Tasty are just completely blown away by everyone’s kindness and generosity.  Kudos to Invisible Stripes + Fatlace for blogging about us, all of our featured artists, Jack, Bill, Cynthia, Andrew, Terri, Felicia, and Ed (we’re so sorry if we left anyone out!) Meet Me Under the Cherry Blossoms was an incredibly fun event for us, and we could not believe how many people turned out!  Tiny and Tasty are planning on having similar events in the near future, and will keep you posted.  =)

Jennifer D. is the lucky winner of our raffle!  Jennifer wins a print created by CatmAndru! specifically for Sweet Breams.

WEBSITE:

Our website is still undergoing construction, so you’ll continue to see changes.  Tiny and Tasty do intend to blog much more frequently than in the past, and will no longer have an official weekly summary of news cluttering your inbox.  The Catch of the Week will still be updated the Saturday before a new week on our website, Facebook Fan Page + Twitter.  Our website and Facebook Fan Page will both be up to the minute with news.

CATCH OF THE WEEK:

Matcha is one of Tiny and Tasty’s favourite Catch of the Weeks, and we’ve brought it back this week to commemorate a special time in Sweet Breams’ history.  It was this week two years ago, in 2007, that we first experienced chibi taiyaki in Kyoto, and fell in love with the concept so much that we decided to bring the idea to the United States!

FACEBOOK:

We have closed our original Facebook group, and will now only update our Fan Page, so please make sure to join!  Any updates on our website will be automatically imported to our Fan Page’s Wall.

CLOSED FOR MAKER FAIRE:

Sweet Breams will be closed Sunday, 31 May for a field trip to Maker Faire at the San Mateo County Expo.  We know we’ll see quite a few of you there, and are extremely excited to see what “the world’s largest DIY festival” has in store for us this year!

Hello Fellow Breamies,

NEW FACEBOOK FAN PAGE:

We have created a Facebook Fan Page called I Heart Sweet Breams to keep you better informed. We would sincerely appreciate if our fellow Breamies would become a fan. We will not update our existing Facebook Group after 18 April. Here is a link to the page:

CATCH OF THE WEEK:

Lemon Poppyseed is back — Lemon cream custard in a poppyseed batter (our fourth type of batter!).

NEW ART!:

* CatmAndru! has four new prints available: Racoon Rocket!, DragonBoats!, Midnight Snack!, and Siam I Am!

* Sweet Breams’ first group art show, “Meet Me Under The Cherry Blossoms” opens Saturday, 18 April. We will have art from 12 very talented artists (including our resident artists) on display. You will be able to meet most of the artists during our reception between 8P and 10P. We will still serve taiyaki, but please be prepared for above average wait times as we are expecting a large turn out.

Cheers,

Tiny and Tasty
