Shinzi Katoh's Snow White Goods Available For Special Order

I know it has been a long time since I blogged on this product blog and I'm sorry about that!! We just ordered a bunch of great Shinzi Katoh goods that will arrive this week and while I know that fairy tale items are popular I really wasn't sure about snow white. So, instead of ordering them I thought I would put up pics and prices and if you are interested, I can special order them for you.

First we have 2 layer bentos....

These 2 layer bentos are 13.5 x 10.3 cm and at this time I would assume that they couldn't be used in a microwave and they should be washed by hand. They are $29.75 each plus $6.25 for shipping.

These next items are 4 in 1 bentos. The largest is 8 x 14.5 cm. Again, I would say no microwaves or dishwashers. They are each $31.5 plush $6.25 for shipping.

The next 2 items are "cup mug". They are perfect for tea/coffee and a snack like cookies or ice cream. The mug is 7.7 x 8.5 cm. They are $29.75 plus $19.75 for shipping. These are breakable and heavy so they must be packed carefully.

*********Please note all shipping prices are for North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. If you are in Asia, South America or Africa, please ask me about shipping prices. Also,if you wish to use EMS shipping (with tracking and insurance) please ask for a price quote.

Bento Themed Rings!

I LOVE these rings! These are bento themed rings that actually open! This first one is really unique-it is an insect themed bento! The bento box is just like what Japanese kids use to keep insects in after they collect them. This bento box opens to reveal a "beetle" hot dog, a butterfly (looks like a carrot and rolled egg sandwiches) and "tentomushi" or ladybugs made from mini tomatoes!

I LOVE this next ring!! Japanese moms really do make lunches this cute!! This alligator bento box opens up to reveal sandwiches that look like little alligators! There are also cherry tomatoes!

I've opened another store!

Well, I've opened another store on etsy! This is my third one! I never thought I would do it but there are so many cute/kawaii things to sell and our other store is getting huge so we decided to open this one just for "decosweets" that is what all the cute decoration items/mini cakes/whip cream clay things are called in Japan so I named my store.... DecoSweets.etsy.com . I am totally loving this store. There are so many things I will be buying for this shop...clay, molds, books, kits, deco mini items etc. We will still sell some of these items in our other store FromJapanWithLove but we will focus on it in the new store! Here are some of the items we have up now.

This is so cool!!

This is so cool that I had to share it with everyone! An etsyian named julietaromano and her boyfriend created this very cool application that allows etsy users to create a "flipping book" from their shop! I just made mine for my hand made shop and here are some screen shots.

The cool thing is that it updates automatically! You can check mine out at http://www.myetsybook.com/EtsyBook.html?id=6549069 Just be warned that it can take a little time to load each page so wait patiently!

You can check here for more info on the site http://www.myetsybook.com/ and here from the etsy forums :

Enjoy!!

New Rings!

I have made and listed more rings! The one above is a ramen ring!! It is very cool as the chopsticks look suspended in air!

This next ring is stunning! There are plums blossoms and pine in gold and silver foil. I painted the wood base and I mixed the paint myself...it looks metallic and is a perfect match for the ume (plum) blossoms.
