Japan – View from the top – part 2

July 3, 2013

Here are a few more things I bought back from Japan, I packed all this stuff in a tog bag that Shane lovingly carried them from airport to airport, flight to flight so they would arrive home in one piece, I’m happy to report nothing broke.

 

stuff

antique-plate-2

antique-plate

Bought this hand painted plate from a sweet little shop in Shibuya. They had so many cool things, but they were all pretty pricy, so I couldn’t go too overboard. I bought this little guy to compliment the big ceramic dog I dragged home from Sweden a few years ago.

house-lights-5

house-lights-4

house-lights-3

These are little ceramic lantern type things. They came with battery operated tea candles that flicker, so when you have them on at night they look like little warm houses on the hill. I had to stop myself from buying the other 4 houses in this set.

cat-jar

This is my new cat shaped flour jar. Love.

salt-jar

My new salt jar. Another love.

pooh-bear

A plate from Disney Land with Pooh Bear’s face on it.

pyrex

I bought these cool scientific beakers to use as vases.

tin-cups

Got some sweet little tin teacups, wish the shop had more of these, but I got the last 2.

toothbrush

This last thing is a toothbrush holder that I got from Muji. Another store you can go ape sh*t in, it is full of so many awesome storage/stationary/cool type things.

Japan – View from the top – part 1

June 28, 2013

We did a bit shopping in Japan, I bought all sorts of things from plastic monkeys to hand painted ceramic plates to pudding shaped like boobs.

I thought it would be cool to shoot everything I bought in groups from above, starting with all the little trinkets, bits and pieces I found along the way.

A few of these things belong to Shanie and I and some are gifts, so I’m ruining it for a few of my friends, but it’s all good. I’ll do another ‘view from the top’ tomorrow.

Shopping with me eyes.

May 9, 2013

I went snooping around Urban Outfitters last night and I picked out all the things I would like to have delivered to me in a nice giant present box. We have Topshop and Zara and now we NEED Urban Outfitters and H&M. Not sure who Mr. Big Bucks is that brings stores like this here, but I wish they would ship these 2 over.

Anyway I went on a virtual shop last night, I would of ordered a bunch of these things but the problem is you get slammed with import taxes when they arrive here. I ordered something off Urban Outfitters a few months ago and even though it arrived in good time, I landed up paying nearly R800 in taxes, so whatever you order make sure you really really really want it.

I really really want all these things.

cat-bottle

It’s no secret how much I love love love cats even though I don’t own one – it’s probably why I love them so much. My friend Jo is also obsessed with cats, she has 2 of her own that are the sweetest flat faces you will ever lay your eyes on. Jo’s birthday was this weekend and as part of her present I bought her this cat shaped bottle, apparently they were used back in the day for bubble bath. I think Jo should use it has a port bottle – port and cats, now there is a good combination.

Andrew and presents

April 22, 2013

My friend Andrew has just came back from Australia and with him he bought this sweet little cat necklace and elk jumper for me. Between us we came up with a bet to see who buys the best presents, we set a budget and he has had his turn and I’ll have mine when I go to Japan – I plan on winning this bet, obviously, but I must say he really didn’t do too badly at all.

Well done Andrew face.

Antique finds

April 16, 2013

Here are the few things I bought at the Benoni Antique Fair on Sunday.

1. This little gold brooch, which I thought was super cute with it’s bow and summer hat.

2. A vintage Tala tin egg holder, which I have never seen before.

3. The white cat which is actually an old perfume bottle from Avon, why oh why can’t everything come packaged in some sort of cat wrapping? I bought that piece for Jo because she collects white ornaments.

4. I found only ONE chained animal family, I thought I might come away with a least 2, but I didn’t. At least I found one that I don’t already have. The white cats are now very at home in my crazy ornaments cabinet.

5. Jo bought me the metal Bambi which is actually an ashtray, apparently you pop the cigarette into it’s chest and the smoke comes out it’s mouth.
