Daiso!

The mother of all 100-yen shops ("hyakkin") is in Machida. Five floors -- 71,000 sq. ft. -- of cheap stuff, including...

faux Croc stick-on nail "clothes"

mannequin heads

garden dwarfs

fake flowers (can you see the dewdrops? clear hard plastic)

shoes

clothespins

fake "decorative interior" vegetables

hair gel

cider

dishes

potato chip rings

food bags

plastic jewelry

signage

leis

in my shopping basket: notebooks (the cover lines: "Memorandum: Write Things Down" and "Keep your Dreams"), butterfly temporary tattoos, teacups, a creamer and caramels

Karen bought a dozen butterfly nets

the inside-the-elevator guide to what's on each floor

the five ladies I shopped with, 3 from Australia, 2 from New Zealand. (I grilled the Kiwis about the South Island, as we are headed there later this month!!!)
