My 25 Favourite Moomin Cakes -...
As a passionate Moomin lover and also cake baker, I thought that I would post a countdown of my favourite Moomin cakes that I have seen on the internet - and believe me, there are more than 25, so this was really hard for me!
25 - This was found on Vesselin väkerrykset’s blog. I really love the Groke and I think this looked like great fun to make. Not many people like her because she is...

Moomin T-shirts
Over the last few years, New Look have been the main producer of Moomin t-shirts. Play.com have had three t-shirts in the last three years, but they stopped selling them rather soon. What really annoyed me about New Look is that despite the t-shirts being great quality, price and designs, they would not appear online so I would have to go in store, which was a pain because I like to check new...

An Unwanted Guest - Skurken i Muminhuset
The title ‘Skurken i Muminhuset’ translates to ‘The villain of the Moomin house’. It was published in 1980 but has never been officially translated into English.
The pictures found within the story are all photographs taken by Per Olov Jansson (Tove’s brother) from within the Moomin house which was constructed by Tove Jansson, her partner Tuulikki Pietilä and Pentti...

Gifts and Interior Design Trade Fair/Vårmessen
From January 26th-29th the Gifts and Interior Design Trade Fair took place in Norway. I personally did not manage to make it there because of university, but a lovely person on Twitter blogged about it and took many photos which I will show here (with permission!).

Podcasts & The Joy of Books
Whilst browsing through the iTunes store, I thought I’d search ‘Tove Jansson’ in and see what results I’d get. You can get a lot of the Moomin music, most of the books and free podcasts. Seeing as I have all the books and some music, I decided to have a listen to the podcasts.
The first one I listened to was from an English lecturer called Kate Macdonald, which I think was...

Discounts & new products
I forgot to mention yesterday that Artbox have reduced the prices of their mugs from £15.90 to £14.50! They also have a lot of new stationary like notebooks (which I plan to buy before I start my placement at a hospital soon). I bought a pen recently but it snapped before I even used it, but luckily superglue managed to fix it.
I’ve just realised they’ve also updated their stock too...

Merry Christmas!
Christmas is so hectic! Luckily we managed to get all our presents in November so we’ve just been relaxing. Of course, we put up our small Christmas tree at the start of December and added Moomin baubles and the new 2011 mini mugs.
Today, we made Moomin biscuits for the first time. They didn’t work out perfectly but they taste delicious!
My Little My bag came in the post...

Rare Little My Bag
I recently made a huge order of about £180 worth of Moomin products on Artbox for my Christmas presents. This site sells some exclusive items, such as cards, keyrings and this little beauty:
I’ve wanted this for years, and Artbox is the only place I know of that sells it. I couldn’t justify paying £42 for it though, being the poor student that I am… However, today, I finally...

Welcome to My New Moomin Blog!
After using Tumblr for six months for my blog, I’ve realised that my own website would be much easier to manage because the Moomins have such a huge fanbase and I really don’t like being limited on what I can/can’t upload - plus, not everyone uses Tumblr.
My blog will be used for documenting my purchases, travels, events, stories, thoughts, gifs, videos and basically anything...

New Moomin Blog
I’ve just bought www.moominmania.co.uk for another blog. I’ll still keep using my Tumblr, but I wanted something with more information because I feel bad writing loads on here as it’s mainly just pictures, and Tumblr is quite limiting. Hopefully it’ll be more informal and personal :)
It needs a few days to register and it also needs to be designed, but I’m hoping...
