My love affair for variety (dollar) stores started way from my early years in Canada (mid-2000s). The neighborhood's dollar store was my first therapy to fend off homesickness and where I spent my initial "splurges" from my humble paycheques. One of my little splurges was a set of wooden decorative balls; I remember gifting my mom a few of them a while back.

I have expressed my love for them in my old defunct blog which I am planning to write a new post about in the future.) | ू*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)。oO
Then, one day, I happen to visit a local 100-Yen shop in Vancouver and my mind was blown away by the cuteness of everything they carry б(>ε<)∂

During the lockdowns when I was finally able to materialize my ideas, after watching several youtube tutorials, my patio now is filled with Asian bowls and teacups.

I still get homesick once in a while, and when my body is urging me to go for (retail) therapy, there is that place that gives me the feeling of coming back home...
