  • Hello @[email protected] this is my haul today

    assortment of Asian crockery

    Image: 1 large bowl, 2 spoons, 3 oval plates (only 1 showing), 1 small bowl, 3 small plates.

    The bowl is larger than the ones I already had. Too bad so sad. Mummy gets the bigger bowl.

    make up caddy

    I spent the afternoon sorting this stuff for my daughter. The reason I did it is because she very long-sighted so she has trouble with the finer points of things. She does the best she can when tiding up but she sometimes misses the small details. That's another story. I am tired now.

    • Love the haul, mummy does the cooking, mummy gets the bigger bowl! Very impressed with the haul

      That makeup caddy looks pretty good. Fits everything, nothing wrong having everything in one place, makes it easier to find things. Hopefully she’ll be able to stick with putting things back into the caddy, after usage

      Thanks for the haul pic and the wonderful description 💛

      • You're welcome. I wanted something light weight but sturdy so I can move it around to clean under. There's still some adjustments to be done but hopefully this helps her and me to keep on top of things. Thank you again for pointing this shop out. Next time I'm going with a list. ☺

        • You’re very welcome. I swore I had seen the bowl when you had mentioned it and was on a mission to find it. I’m so glad I found it a place I go to quite regularly

          There are some really good things in there as well. I want to pick up a 3 tier steamer at some point this year as well. And they stock the really good brand too.

          Yeah definitely bring a list lol. I could easily spend half a day in there

          • I only went down one aisle! I followed your directions and you were spot on. You're a champion. 🏆

            • Yeah I memorised how I found the item and wanted to save you time and to make sure you found it. Easy to get distracted in there. Next time you can check out the rest of the place 😊

    • Those spoons are such a life saver, especially when I'm eating something East Asian.

      • For soup or rice or whatever. Such versatile little things.

        • I need to get some mini soup ladles. Sometimes you use them when eating Japanese ramen.

          I bought a couple form daiso ages ago but they all broke :(

          • Well if you're around the Footscray area Ming Ming's had every cooking implement known to man or woman plus more.

    • Love the make-up caddie. I wish I had room in my tiny bathroom vanity for something like that. I have some organisers though which are ok. So nice of you to work with her eyesight, that's good parenting imo. Actually applying make-up being long sighted is difficult I find, as I am long sighted as is normal for someone my age so I hope she can do it well enough to feel great.

      • Maybe something like this caddy might suit you. For someone who is very long-sighted she does an excellent job of her make-up with out her glasses on. Like seriously how does anybody put liquid eye-liner on straight but somehow she can.

        • Hold the eyeliner steady by pushing your hand against something then move your eye across it. I get it right sometimes but it's hard. that caddy looks perfect for my bathroom honestly.

    • Nice collection. I wanted to pick up some stainless stain soup spoons myself but didn't quite make it that far. Next time!
