Found! the ultimate bento box
I found this perfect little lacquer bento box in Little Tokyo in Los Angeles, at a store called Utsuwa-No-Yakata. This is the ultimate bento box yet, and it has all things I look for in a bento box.
1. It's overflowing with cuteness and prettiness. Shiny woodlike lacquer is ladylike, but the gold bunny speaks to my inner child. (My bento box is talking to me? I'm going crazy)
2. English words on it actually make sense. Can't go wrong with "My Lunch Box".
3. Secure inner lid. Sweet.
4. Awesome inner compartments.
5. Pull this out at lunch time, and you'll be like Molly Ringwald's character in The Breakfast Club.
6. It was on sale for $9.99.
I originally bought this with my daughter in mind-- this puppy's mine. ALL MINE!

The cool thing about beaducation is that they have online jewelry making classes. Check them out.
Our favorite things...
These beverage bottles are something to gaga over. I took one to disneyland on a hot hot summer day, In the morning, I put some juice in it, with a couple ice cubes. Juice stayed icy cold all day. At 6pm, there were still ice cubes in it! I told all my friends and they told their friends, and we're all crazy about these bottles. The adult version (middle) is great for hot or cold beverages.
