New bento goodies!

I got a package today! I was waiting patiently (okay...so not very patiently) for my new bento box to arrive. Last time we got a bad winter storm the USPS was not running and our mail was about 3 days late. So, considering hubs was off today due to bad road conditions I was a little bummed about the chances of my box arriving but it did!I also took the time to take some shots of my ever growing collection of bento boxes, and etc. Just a few pictures showing the size and how the box collapses and goes up.






When the box is collasped it's a little bigger than the bottom teir of a normal sized bento. You then unfold the sides up, and inside each corner is a ridge where you snap the box together. I tried taking a picture so you could see how it snaps together. Once it's expanded it's a little larger than my urura box.
Putting pictures up behind the break so it's not so time consuming to upload!
Random bento tools that I have collected over the past few months. Cutters, egg molds, picks, nori punch...Love those little sauce containers! All my silicone and paper cups. Just got a few today actually. The cat shaped ones, and the pastel small cups. I also got two large orange and green cups that have little animals on the sides. They are so cute you can even see the little tail on it! Hope everyone is having a great night! There will be bento food tomorrow!

  5. Collecting the cute stuff is so fun! You have really neat things--silicon cups in a soft and pretty rainbow of colors! You've inspired me to go on Ebay to add to my collection :)
