This is a household goods store built in the early Showa period (1926-1989). It wa soriginally located in 3-chome, Kanda-jinbocho, Chiyoda Ward. It features a front wall covered in small copper plates ingeniously combined, while the interior is a reproduction of how the shop was in the 1930s. Tenement houses have been moved to the back of the shop to produce the street atmosphere that existed in those days.
These cups are really tiny and uncommon. I think there is also a brown one! I hope I find it to complete the set ;)

I started putting this bowl set together almost 2 years ago when I picked up the largest bowl (404). It is my absolute favorite set and I am SO happy to finally complete it! I ended up finding the last bowl (403) for under $20 on ebay including shipping, couldn't pass it up! The bowl was extremely well packaged and in awesome condition!
Seriously so happy :)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! As you prepare your Thanksgiving meal, some of these items may be of interest. I spy what looks like a deviled egg holder in the foreground, and far as I'm concerned, deviled eggs are a Thanksgiving dinner must (though probably not for everyone)! For the photo to follow this one, the jury's still out on much relevance to Turkey Day though...
The story started here:
Alan descended the stairs. A short man with an open face.
“She let us in” I blurted out... Pointing to the elderly woman in the corner of the room, as if it were her fault. He seemed unperturbed that we three strangers were ensconced in his house conversing with his mother-in-law.
He made us tea while we waited for his wife Mary to return. Mary would know all about the family tree and how we were all connected he offered. He apologised for the mess.
“We are renovating” he explained. I looked around at the boxes of kitchenware piled up in confusion around Lilas and saw the room, (but not Lilas) in a different light.
On Mary’s return, my mother and brother sat at the dining table with Alan and talked family stuff. I didn’t join Mary and the others at the table, I stayed close to Lilas. She had taken a liking to me.
“When you come back” she said, “You and I, we’ll go for a walk on the mountain” She articulated the word ‘mountain’ very clearly, giving each syllable equal weight. “We’ll have a nice time, just you and me. We won’t ask the others.” She lilted on “but not at milking time, there’s too much work to do a milking time.” I nodded in agreement. “Just you and me,” She winked. “And we’ll talk.”
I noticed that when she spoke to her daughter Mary, she often lapsed effortlessly into The Welsh, but she always spoke to me in English, despite her dementia, she never confused the two languages.
She pointed to my brother. “I don’t know him” she look displeased. “He’s a very plain looking man.” I nodded in agreement.
She pointed to my mother. “Do you know her?” she asked. She frowned, she didn’t like the look of my mother either, it seemed.
“She’s my mother.” I said.
“Your mother?” she said slowly, trying to comprehend what I had just said. “Ah.” she nodded finally, and was quite for a while. Contemplative.
She looked back and me and her face lit up again. “But you and I, we’ll go up the mountain. It is beautiful on the mountain, you will like the mountain, and all the wildflowers will be out.”
She pointed to the four people sitting at the table. Her daughter Mary and son-in-law Alan, my mother and my brother. “Those four men” she said. “They don’t do any work.”
She was silent for a few minutes and then she started again.
“Have they made you tea?” she asked. “You have been here so long and no-one has made you tea.”
She counted the cups again and showed me how clean they were.
She pointed to Mary, “I like her” she said, and her face softened. “She’s nice. She looks after me, you know.”
She pointed to Alan, she leaned in a little closer to me. “He’s nice, but he’s a bit slow” she said conspiratorially.
“Yes. Yes. Please, please, please, please.” She said.
“She says that a lot” Alan called out from across the room. “Always the same, two yeses followed by four pleases.” We don’t know what it means. “Her eyesight is perfect.” he said, “We just had her eyes tested, but it is her mind, you see, that is gone. She thinks she is still a young girl.”
Her father had died when she was a young girl and as an only child, she had been sent to keep house for her three bachelor uncles. I wondered what life must have been like for a young girl on a remote Welsh sheep farm. Very hard, I suspect. Her mind was locked back in that time and she longed to return to places and people that no longer existed. She had out-lived them all. She had no memory of her more recent life, of loves, of a husband, of years (decades) of marriage, or of her daughter with whom she now lived.
She pointed to my mother again.
“I don’t know who she is” she said. “Do you know her?” she asked.
I looked at my mother, engrossed in conversation.
“No.” I lied. It was easier to do so. “No I don’t know her at all.”
Mary made more tea. It was hot, the steam rising, highlighted in shafts of light streaming in from the weak afternoon sun. Mine was too hot to drink and I set it aside to cool, but Lilas tackled hers. I watch as scolding hot tea dribbled down her chin and disappeared as it soaked into the knitted cables of her cardigan. I was concerned that she’d burn herself, but no-one else noticed, not even herself. She dropped crumbs from her biscuit and meticulously retrieved them one by one from the folds of her clothes and popped them into her mouth.
“I want to go home.” she said. No-one corrected her, told her she was already home. No-one listened, except me.
“Yes, yes, please, please, please, please.” she said again and lapsed again, momentarily, into silence.
“Aren’t you cold?” she asked me, noticing my bare arms for the first time.
“No” I replied. “I never am, I don’t feel the cold. I am as warm as toast. See?”
I put my hand on top of hers. Mine was warm against her chilly skin. The bluish veins of her hands were soft to my touch and they contrasted darkly with the pale parchment of her skin.
“Oooo, yes you are!” She chuckled, amused by her own disbelief.
“I want to go home.” she said again.
“Yes, I do too.” I said, and I meant it.
“ ... but, when you come back,” she continued. “You and I, we will go up on the mountain. Just you and I ... And we’ll talk. It will be so much fun. We won’t ask the others. Just you and me. It is so beautiful on the mountain. But not when the milking is on. Oh no, there is too much work to do, when the milking is on.”

I just peeked back into my photostream, it has been exactly a month since I found any Pyrex for myself! I picked up a piece this past weekend for trade but that doesn't count!
An impromtu stop at Salvation Army led me to these two beauties. I am not a big fan of the white gooseberry but the pink, YUM! :)
Estos son los individuales con mis dibujos de la "Cofradía de Animales Neuróticos". Es un producto de Monoblock.
The rather large kitchenware department is located behind produce in the Hernando Kroger Marketplace, but is more toward the middle of the store at the Jonesboro location.

Here we go! I'm 90% positive the orange bowl goes with this set. Honestly, even if it doesn't, it looks great to me so I don't really care! :D
With the end of semester rush in full swing this was a great pick me up!

The city of Gurgaon is known for its Malls and hangout places but there is another aspect that has remained unattended. Gurgaon has got a few good markets. Markets where we do everyday household shopping, grab a bite of Chaat, get a haircut, buy vegetables, tissues, kitchenware, etc. One such market which is famous with the residents of Sushant Lok-1 in Gurgaon is Vyapar Kendra.
About Vyapar Kendra
Vyapar Kendra market consists of small shops cramped with each other. The market has 4 Gates for entry and exit. You will find everything in this market but where to look for it in Vyapar Kendra is a big question.
This is a shopping market where there is no fixed price. Let us say that if you don’t negotiate you pay much more than the actual price. Most of the shop keepers and customers trade with the idea of bargaining. The shops at the face of the market are pricier. The shop keepers know that and therefore quote a high price, the customers negotiate a bit and then still pay a higher price. Since I know this market well, here is a list of good shops for you to make a wise decision.
Let us make it easy for the visitors to shop at Vyapar Kendra.
Handloom shops - Sardarji ki dukan.
Location - Shop# 17, behind Mandi
Here you can buy bedcovers, quilts, pillow covers, table cloth etc. at a fixed price. Sardarji does no bargaining but his prices are still more reasonable than the other handloom shops. Ignore the ones at the face of the market.
Vegetables – Mandi Fruit & Vegetable Mart
Location – Front of the market
Mandi offers fresh vegetables & fruits at reasonable prices, sometimes giving a good competition to the Mother Dairy across the road. Beware of other vegetable shops around which charge more to customers
Bytes (Bakery)
There are 3-4 bakeries in Vyapar Kendra. The best among all is Bytes. They have fresh muffins and pastries. You can also try their Namkeen and biscuits.
Kitchenware
Location – Shop#20, next to Sardarji’s Handloom shop.
You will find plenty of shops selling Kitchen items and almost all quote a high price. The best pick among them is the “Requirements Store”. The price quoted is reasonable and you can still negotiate for a marginal reduction to the quoted price.
Sahil Packaging
Location – Shop# B88 (Basement)
You will find use and throw items, toilet roll, paper plates, cups, broom, phenyl, and other toiletries. This shop caters to corporate customers and so offers wholesale prices to walk in customers as well.
Computer World
Location – Shop# 90, Ground floor
Out of a number of Computer shops, this one offers best prices. You can buy modem, CDs, even sell your old PC or laptop.
Sindhi
Location - Face of the market
At Sindhi, you can find the best Namkeen & biscuits. All Namkeens are very good, be it nuts, Chivda, Namak Pare, Aam papad, Chips, or dry fruits.
Do not try tikki or gol gappe here. Alwar sweets offer better Golgappas on the other side of the market.
Shyam Sweets
Location – Shop# 54
It is a good option for veg eaters. It is similar to Om sweets or Bikanerwala.
Gas Agencies
Location – Shop# 52, 1st Floor
There are a number of Gas agencies in Vyapar Kendra. HP Gas agency is located on the 2nd Floor and offers a good deal in which you get 2 cylinders, a gas stove, regulator, pipe and gas stand for Rs.6500 approximately.
You can also find Puja items, Department stores, Hardware shops, Toy shops, Dhabas, Stationery and all that you can think of from a regular small market here at Vyapar Kendra.
Best food items to try out in Vyapar Kendra:
Chai prepared on coal with special masala
Dosa - This guy keeps shifting his stall at different places in the market. Find him because he is really good.
Dal Pakodas
Golgappa at Alwar Sweets
Aloo puri at Shyam Sweets (only in morning hours)
I decided to take pictures of my entire Arcopal collection to share with you guys ;) The Scania pattern is one of my favorites; I would love to have the whole set to use it every day!
Received the bottom two bowls in a wonderful swap with Sandy! Now my set is complete :)
Thanks again for a great trade!
I've been looking everywhere for these online and couldn't find them, so this time when we went to Ikea I just took a picture and here they are.
