PRE-ORDER & CLEARANCE
Thinking of your Christmas orders already? We've had our own Christmas stock booked in for about 12 months already, but we've just had a call from one of our suppliers in Japan offering some great deals on a few favourite lines they are discontinuing. Depending on the stock available and the room left in our November container, we're going to try and grab as much as we can at these great prices - about half the price they usually are! I've listed them online now and you can...

LOOK WHAT JUST ARRIVED!
We have new adorable little round Japanese teapots! Three blue and white designs and three colourful designs to test out a new supplier. Sadly the classic Japanese teapots we've been selling - for what seems like a hundred years - are no longer being made, so we had to find some new ones, and these new ones are SO SWEET! We've got some new designs and we've stuck with some of the popular classics so they will match our mugs, vases and other dinnerware. Just a small...

Autumn Window Dressing - Too Early?
At this time of year we're selling a lot of Japanese teapots, tea cups and mugs in warm reds and oranges. Autumn is in the air and even though there aren't that many places in Australia that have enough deciduous trees for a real Autumn colour change, the...

We're back from Japan!
My compost bin has grown a pumpkin, my car has become a home for spiders, and that milk I forgot to take out of the fridge before we left... well... Despite all that it feels like we only left yesterday and that all the meetings, suppliers visits, trade shows and sourcing were done in a dream. I can hang up my down jacket and put away my woolly gloves for a bit and enjoy some summer warmth back in Wollongong. Thank you for your patience while we took the extended trip. We...

LAST NEWS FOR 2023
2023 Otsukaresama deshita! "You've all worked hard and deserve a break". Thank you to all of our wonderful stockists for their beautiful store displays and friendly helpful staff that sell our Japanese ceramics and spread the joy of a beautiful dinner set or a cup of tea around Australia and New Zealand. I am SO excited to finally be jetting off to Japan for my first trip in WAY too long. Sam has been by himself, but you-know-what put a hold on my plans the past few...

STOCK DELAYS NOV/DEC
Unwelcome news today... our November stock is delayed AGAIN and the container may not arrive until mid December. Uncomfortably close to Christmas! And not even accounting for possible further delays at the port in Sydney with the DP World hack causing havock there. What should you do? If you were holding off on ordering, waiting for a particular item to arrive - don't hold off! You can either; 1) Order what's available now so you have things in store in...

PRE-ORDER NOW FOR CHRISTMAS
If you were on the ball in July and August you would have grabbed some of our new Japanese Art Bowls. If you missed out, you were not the only one! They sold out way quicker than I expected considering the doom and gloom about the economy. Clearly this hasn't affected the demand for art and crockery. I have a long waiting list already and it's already getting close to the number of bowls due to arrive in October. If you want some of these absoluetly BEAUTIFUL bowls for Christmas,...

NO GIFT FAIR THIS YEAR
As a lot of you have noticed, we are not exhibiting at any of the gift fairs in Melbourne in August. It's been a busy few years without gift fairs, and we continue to be plenty busy filling your orders this year too. So, why spend weeks of time prepping and exhibiting at an expensive gift fair, when we're selling out of stock without it? Exactly. Yes we will miss seeing all your lovely faces. Yes we will miss our favourite Melbourne restaurants and a week away from...

STOCK IS HERE!
Well Hello Kitty! In some kind of shipping miracle, our container that was delayed for three weeks has arrived, and not only that, passed through Customs, in less than TWO weeks. Of course the extra hands we booked to help unpack are not available earlier... so guess what we'll be doing this weekend? The stock is now updated on the website and you can place orders, but please don't expect us to ship it tomorrow. Between helping unpack I will be emailing...

JUNE SHIPMENT DELAYED TO JULY
Bad news this morning for everyone waiting on back orders. Our shipment that was due late June/first week of July has been delayed a few weeks. It's now due late July. Crossing fingers that it doesn't stretch out any later. There's particular things that have been repeatedly bumped from earlier shipments this year and we are really keen to finally get them back in stock! Wait lists are still active and I'll be emailing an update to those with a pre-order or large back...

We're off on a buying trip! Considering the last few years, this is way more exciting than it used to be.

LAST STOCK DROP OF 2022
Stock is about to arrive and this is the last container of 2022. Sadly not everything made it on the ship in time. If you have stock on back order I'll be in touch soon to let you know what's available and you'll get priority to order before it gets here. You can place orders now on the website, and as soon as the container lands in our yard and gets unpacked, we'll start shipping your orders out. Plenty of time to get them on your shelves for Christmas! At this stage (touch wood)...

STOCK ARRIVING!
Stock is incoming! Shipping delays, an unexpected public holiday and road closures for an International Cycling Race... we've had it all this week but our stock is at the port in Sydney and will be through customs and down here any day! There are a lot of pre-booked orders in this container so there will be some delay shipping any new orders this week while we unpack the container and clear all those orders that have been waiting months already. I'll be sending out...

WEBSITE UPDATE
I've been doing some work to be more efficient behind the scenes, including a big upgrade and switch to our accounting system. That's meant a reboot of the website, so although it looks pretty much the same for now, it will (touch wood) work better. You will have to reset your password to use the website after 28/6/22, and unfortunately you will lose your old order history and any saved orders. But... from now on you will be able to look up invoices as well as past orders...

CLOSED 9-13 MAY 2022
Next week we're having a little shut down to do a major overhaul of our accounting system and the back end of our website. Also, Sam is off to Japan for the first time in YEARS! As I don't have a Japanese passport myself the absolute suitcase full of paperwork I'd need to get into the country made it unfeasible for a short trip. I'm so jealous Sam will be looking for new stock by himself and eating all the food in Japan. Stay tuned for what he discovers! It seemed like a...

One week till Christmas woo hoo!
One week until Christmas Eve when Santa will be on his way, flouting international quarantine and flying in to distribute some well needed cheer. What a year 2021! But as always, the next year will roll around with a new set of surprises and challenges and off we go again. Thank you to all of our wonderful stockists for putting up with stock delays and shortages and hanging in there to support us all year. We'll continue to do our best to get you the beautiful...

Last Stock of 2021 is here!
And.... we're done with 2021! Well almost. The last stock drop of the year is here and we're starting to ship orders from Monday. Unbelievably the container arrived earlier than expected and cleared Customs in record time. It's a Christmas miracle! Our next stock won't be in until at least February 2022, so now is the time to grab anything you need to see you through Summer. It's looking like it will be a busy one. Local tourism allowing, there are sure to be a lot of...
