There's a great local Japanese market a few miles from here where we buy Pocky and edamame and all of the ingredients Jon uses to make Jongolian Barbecue, and a few years ago I picked up these cheap soup bowls for the occasional miso soup I ate while sick and pregnant. Now I use them to keep my many earrings and rings organized because my collection has far outgrown my jewelry box. I like the convenience and mobility of this solution, plus they are delicate and adorable and look like they were meant to perform this function in the first place.
