Thrifty Japanese Finds

by

My immediate and extended family as well as my close friends are big thrift store/second hand shoppers. We all love to stretch our dollar and to find a good deal. I personally use my “thrifty-fu” to score cool secondhand Japanese items. ;3

Below are some of the many Japanese items I’ve picked up over the years. I would love to show off all my finds – but I’m not gonna go crawling through the attic to find them. ごめんなさい… ^^;

Kawaii Ichigo! Cute Crochet Strawberry~

Kawaii Ichigo! Cute Crochet Strawberry~

I was inspired to crochet my own cute strawberry when I came across some misshapen crocheted strawberries online last night. (Surely it can’t be that hard to crochet a strawberry – right?) Lol! Was I in for a trip! I worked on it for 3 hours straight while watching Kamisama Kiss on Funimation’s website. Sure I had to pull it out a dozen times but it is finished!!! This will be going into my shop soon – just not today. 🙂
