I'm a sucker for Japanese design. Sometimes I feel like I have as built-in magnet for it, I often discover that perfect item that's
Made in Japan. This collection of Japanese plates, bowls, (and one plate), have been gathered over the years from thrift stores and yard sales.
I use my pair of orange bunny cups every day for my green tea! I used to use the colorful fish sauce bowls to hold small office supplies (thumbtacks, etc.) but I would really like to display them. Do you have any creative display ideas for these tiny bowls?
What do you collect while thrifting?

Hey! I have that third bowl down; the kitty one! I saw it and just had to have it. I've a small set of 2 other Japanese bowls in this sort of kawaii style, too. Love yours; especially those first 2 cups.
ReplyDeleteI collect thrifted polaroids
ReplyDeleteJust realized, left out photos of cute yellow and green kitty rice bowls I found, d'oh!
ReplyDeleteAlyssa: That thing is irresistibly cute! I'm looking for plate hangers at the thrift store so I can display it properly...
Miss Lou: I would love to find more of those. I've never found any beguiling (or clean!) enough to take home.
Those kitty ones are too cute! Next week I planned on sharing the Japanese set I've inherited from my Grandma -- it's very pretty, but not as cute as yours...more vintage, is all. The top two cups of yours are my fave! :)
ReplyDeleteI collect thrift scarves and wear them as headbands...never intended to have a collection of them, it just happened. So many colors!!
Oh, how cute! I brought back some funny glassware from a five and dime type store in Tokyo. They have pictures of fruits and vegetables, both with faces of course. And the glasses both read, "Vitamin your life." I think they're hilarious and was thrilled to find that they made the trip back in one piece!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your japanese collection! Wish I could find beauties like that here in the UK!
ReplyDeleteoh cute cute things there. the bowls look like they might be the right size and depth for beads in jewelry making. and i know what you mean about being a magnet to them... you turn them over, and no surprise, made in japan. there's just a certain look and appeal to them. nice collection you have!
ReplyDeleteCUTE collection!
ReplyDeletewhat a cute collection. I thrift and collect fabric, pyrex and china vintage ceramic wares
ReplyDeleteAna: It's incredible how so much good design comes from Japan. I encounter beautiful Japanese goods while thrifting all the time.
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I love how the Japanese make every single animal irresistible.
ReplyDeleteOMG everything is so cute! I love the colours as well, I'm a big fan of those softer tones.
ReplyDeleteThe first four- is it possible to find them online? They are sooooo cute. Sadly I don't have anything similar in my country. Not even close.
