Japan!

Thought I would share with you some goodies my husband brought back
from a recent work trip to Japan. He works in engineering and had to go out there to front line a project.I love these little dishes they are so cute, took me a while to think where to display them.I wanted to put them some where I could see them everyday, and a place they would not get broke.So they sit in a line on my kitchen window sill.He also brought me this cute little tin with a tea inside, matches all my cerise in the kitchen.
    Later he this year he went back and got me more stuff, this time I got a little china doll ornament which goes lovely with my £1.00 saucer from a junk shop.lastly a cute bag, a girl can never have to many bags hey!
  The last thing are watercolours which I love, he wanted something cute for our lounge and they are lush, my favourite one is the stormy picture. all and all he went for a month each time and I was so misrable.I appreciate all my husband brought me, my best present was him back, safe  and home X

    I wish to go to Japan one day, too.

    It is sad to be so far away for weeks from a loved one; perhaps next time you can go eith him?
    Japan has a great craft society, you would love the possibilities there!

  7. How perfectly darling of your hubby to bring you back such goodies, Joy! He picked out such pretty things too. That little doll is just so adorable, and I love the bag and the prints too...and the dishes...just all of it! Hopefully, he'll be home for a long while now.
