My aunt and uncle were in "occupied"  Japan right after the war and brought back many items. I inherited a lot of these plus have picked up others over the years.  Some I just will not depart with at all.  Also, have found other items that are not oriental, that I just liked.   Unfortunately, I am running out of room and need to 'gel down' because hubby wants to be able to walk through the house. 

I try to be honest about my listings with any defects that I can see.  I also try to give a fair shipping/handling price.  I do not put a lower price on the item and try to make up the difference on shipping, like some do.  I will try to leave feedback as soon as I receive payment.  Any questions or problems, I will try to answer or correct if at all possible.  Do not hesitate to email me.  I  want you to be satisfied.

 Grandchildren are a blessing and we have been blessed with 6, 4 boys and 2 girls. They are good kids and of course we think they are the best looking, smartest in the world.  They are healthy.  Our 2 children  did good (daughter and son).  We have adopted a beautiful, sweet yellow lab that came from Waveland, MS.  It was destroyed with Hurricane Katrina.  He is a joy to us (like a child).  We hope to be able to do some traveling around the US when we retire.
