pretty dainty

Check out these dainty ceramic wares I got from Uniwide.

There were so many of these gorgeous bowls, and plates and cake stands,

I wanted to get them all ! I had to restrain myself because  i don't do much entertaining at home (pity, i know) so I got these instead...

                                                            

                                                     a pink ceramic cofee jar...

The cofee jar i use to store cotton and the cake tray for my beauty potions ....

             a white ceramic cutout bowl which I use to store cellphone chargers by my bed...

An "antique" Chinese Jar and white ceramic "cup" which looks nice together  in the bathroom  

                                              A gorgeous set of plate and soup bowl

I used these to organize small trinkets and other odds and ends..

Very pretty! and the best part? Not one of these cost more than 69 Pesos!

seek and you shall find...cute!

Cute comes from unexpected places.

Today, I brought my grandma to have her hair permed. Since it would take her a while to get her hair done, I decided to spend some time in Sucat Uniwide Warehouse  across the street. I remember when Uniwide used to be THE place for sari sari store owners to haul local and imported goods wholesale. That changed when they were hit badly by the economic crisis in the 90's and a lot of their branches closed. The remaining ones now cater to the low-end market but if you don't mind a little bit of dust and no airconditioning, you may be rewarded with finds like these...!

Super Cute" Tattooed" Ceramic Dog Php50

feel like a princess with these set of gorgeous embroidered curtain Php370 each.
p.s. They have a lot of really pretty embroidered  curtains.

Sugar Jar Php 150

there's also one for tea and cofee. I'll use these to keep loose change i bring home everyday. The cover has a rubber lining so it's airtight just in case you really want to put sugar tea or coffee in it.

 Handpainted Ceramic Owls Php69 for the big one and Php39 for the small one.

Uniwide warehouse has quite abit of ceramic and tableware collection. There are some tacky ones but I saw a lot of nice stuff too. Too bad i didn't bring my camera with me. But i'll definitely go back and post some more pictures soon. Ciao!
