I think women love variety stores and sundry goods. I am a woman who doesn't buy much since I love open space more than goods. But still I love to see sundry goods.
This is a search engine for only sundry goods. Like window shopping, just looking at each store online is fun.
I will introduce what I found.
This cat good shop sells, chicken hat for cat. cat goods shop sells chicken hat for cat. Well Poor Cat. In Japan, Balinese goods are very popular because ot their exotic, resort mood. I like this Milk Picther. The curved shape is nice.
This type of stuff is SHOWA retro for us. They are not antique but nostalgic old stuff. I suppose we can find some at flea markets or very old places. However, I can feel they are pretty because the layout of them is made well. I am not sure if I felt the same coming across such goods in another setting.
European goods are very popular in Japan. French shop. North European design is very popular too. hmm Second hands cup is pretty.
I always like simple stuff. Ah today I got this sideboard for my TV at an auction. I was looking for small, dark brown, all wood with legs. I don't like to have a space which I cannot clean up. So every space should be open. Strange rule? Anyway I like that slighlty mid-century taste.

Cat Chicken Hat!!! (adds to christmas list) please tell me people dont actually pay money for these? Poor cat indeed. Everyone knows cats only like fish hats!! The milk pitcher is nice. I like the matte glaze, it's very soothing to look at and the shape is graceful, the little frog(?) sleeping on the handle is a nice touch, but I hope he doesn't get startled and jump into the milk! The retro is neat, but I'm afraid I would end up selling it on EBay. too much clutter. Ikea is questionable in terms of consistency and quality of their merchandise. It's fun to look at until they start peeling and falling apart 6 months after purchase. Todays Ikea is tomorrows landfill. Think of this while shopping and buy only biodegradable. ;p

IKEA will open in japan in 2005. When I was in Japan in April, Scandinavian design started to be hot. I wouldn't be the surprised if the marketing campaign coupled with the opening of IKEA in 2005 has something to do with it.
They have good stuff, yes, but somehow I am always weary of these big chain stores. I miss the smaller stores and items produced in a very proud way. Oh well, one cannot stop the current developments and we will have to get used to big chain shopping ONLY.

IKEA is my mith too! I've visited the Genoa and Florence too, not far from where I live, and I've got lots of IKEA forniture in my house. Some of their products are simple pure genius and the style remember me somehow of the elegant simplicity of Japanese style. Are are not too expensive, sometimes are really cheap.

Mari-san, I think you would like the store IKEA. The one with the largest amount of sales in the world is in Schaumburg, Illinois, US (not far from O'Hare Airport). It surprised me when I learned that fact! I live not far from there. That IKEA store is also very near to the Japanese grocery stores I go to (Mitsuwa and Tensuke Market). IKEA sells many things with that kind of style, although they are not always made of real wood, and you have to put them together yourself. They are inexpensive but nice, not cheap-looking, in my opinion.
