Fire King restaurant ware mug

Fire King has been popular in Japan especially for these five years.
Almost all items are quite expensive if you buy Fire King in Japan and I can't afford to buy them.

Unfortunately, I don't think that the tableware I have in my place and Fire King go together very well, but I spotted this small mug at an antique shop in the U.S. and bought it because it was in a good condition and very cheap.
It had been used as restaurant ware and it is smaller than regular Fire King mugs.

My husband has been using it as a toothblush mug.
I have been looking for the same one in a good condition, but I haven't found yet.

TALBOTT prescription case

I think that this is one of the most unique American antique stuffs I have.

This is an old prescription case which was made from steel.
According to the dates of prescriptions, I guess that it had been used in 1950s and 60s.

I love these aging labels.

Six batches of prescriptions were housed within the case, and these are nice as well.

I have displayed some of them in my antique room.

Vintage ironing board

I think that the housework I am best at is ironing.
I have heard that ironing is the most unpopular housework among housewives, but I have been ironing since I was a child and I am unbothered by it.
Therefore I use an iron and ironing board very much.


One day my husband found this ironing board at an antique shop and we decided to buy it.
I love this wooden rustic one!
I have been leaving it in the living room, but it fits well with any other furniture.
