Bento Break: Etsy Shop {All My Dreams}

Hi friends! After a hiatus of a few years, I reopened my etsy shop: All My Dreams. [www.etsy.com/shop/allmydreams]

If you've been reading this blog for a while, you might remember I crafted and sold origami crane earrings a few years back as part of a benefit for victims of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan. It was a great way to do a little bit towards bringing attention to the disaster relief as a part of a larger effort by the bento community.

Afterwards, I let the shop lapse while I worked on other things, and I only recently remembered about it. I enjoyed my crafty side projects so much I thought I might start up again. Feel free to take a look if you are interested. Oh, and use coupon code 25OFF for 25% off the entire store! Thank you friends! 😊❤

Ladybug Fried Rice Bento

Today's bento has fried brown rice and quinoa with spinach, red onion, mushrooms, egg and Chinese sausage. I added a beet-dyed quail egg on top decorated with nori to look like a spring ladybug. Other side has chopped cara cara oranges, strawberries and grapes. It's a quick bento today.

If you're so inclined, please take a look at the newest Bento4Japan listings. We have added handcrafted items to the usual bento books and accessories. My contribution is a pair of origami crane earrings. There are lots of books, starter kits, and a very cute knitted and felt toy bento set - so please stop by and place a bid. All proceeds go to benefit Japan charities!
