It's so hot....

In Greenville, NC, it's already hot summer! I can not believe that past few days were around 90°F (around 30℃), and really heavy warm days. Everyone is talking about how hot it is. I usually not here in summer past few years.... It's meaning I usual go back to Japan, and stay in my hometown... lol
(この頃夏本番といった様な気温になっているグリーンビルです。信じられない事にここ数日はすでに夏日になっています。とても暑い日が続いています。ここに住んでいる人たちも皆、口を揃えて「あついね〜」といっています。いつもは既に日本に帰っているのでこの暑さを経験するのは久しぶりとなっています。)

OH! I went to several different Antique shops yesterday! I found Antiques in Selma, NC that is located one hour from Greenville, NC.
When I saw that Antiques, I thought that it is a nice and great place to see a lot of Antiques! I am sure that it is a great place to visit. I spend $8 only and get several Fire-King Dishes and Mugs.  I will put some picture of what I bought! ahaha
(あ！昨日はアンティークショップに何店か行ってきました！アンティークショップはノースカロライナ州のセルマという所にあります。そこはグリーンビルから１時間くらいの所にあります。
そこのアンティークショップを見たとき, いっぱいいろいろなアンティークがあるんだなぁと思いました。こんなにあるとすべて見る事ができない！とも思いました。そこにいくのはとてもいいものだと思いました。そこでたった８㌦で数点のファイヤーキングを買う事ができました。とてもいい買い物をしたと思いました。)

here is what I bought yesterday!

Fire King Color Mug

Fire King Mug White

Fire King Meadow Mug

Fire King Ivory Mixing Bowl

Fire King Ivory Cake Brake

Fire King Turquoise Dinner Plate

I bought 6 item for $8 yesterday. Turquoise is usually really expensive and not really able to buy less expensive place.... I am sure that people think that is really that price?

Well I am happy to get all item I got!

I am so happy with my pets!

Today, I was playing with my pets little bit and made me happy after that. I haven't play or do something with them a long time, and I have time little bit more Free time now.
(今日は久しぶりに自分のかっているペットと遊び事ができました。なかなか時間がなく一緒に遊ぶ機会もなかったので、久しぶりに楽しい気分になりました。今はもう少しだけ自由な時間が増えたのでよかったです。)

Here I put some pictures what I took few minutes ago.
(ここに数枚の写真を載せようと思います。これらは数分前に取ったものです。)

This is Hana
She is using Fire King and drinking Water 

This is Shiro... It's hard to see....

This is Kuki
he is playing some toy by himself.

Hana likes laying down on pillows!

They are so cute and My favorite pets ever I had. Also, when I have hard time at school that time, they came to me and felt better after all. I am surely happy to have them all the time.
Hana was the first pet I had in Greenville, NC, and she lives with me already 6 years and I am so happy to have her. I can not image she is not with me anymore.
Kuki is second dog for me. He gives me hard time sometime, but he is cute doggie, and makes company with Hana.
Shiro is the hamster, and he is the newest pet I have now.
(彼らは自分にとってお気に入りのペットたちです。それに学校などできつかったりした時に近くに来てくれていやしてくれます。その度にペットを飼っていてよかったと思います。
華ちゃんはグリーンビルに来て初めて飼ったペットです。彼女とは既に６年一緒にここにすんいます。そして華ちゃんがいてとても良かったといつも思っています。華がいない生活はちょっと考えづらくなっています。クウキは２番目の犬のペットです。彼は少しやんちゃで困らせる時もありますが、華ちゃんの遊び相手になってくれたりしているので助かります。城はハムスターです。彼はこの頃買い始めました。新しいここの仲間です。)

By the way, I finally get a mug what I really wanted to buy a long time which is Fire King McDonald Mug Cup. I looked everywhere around Greenville, NC and some places but I haven't had chance to find one yet until last Saturday. I was so happy to see and hold it! I bought it after all. Now I have several different mugs for Fire King.
(ところで、ついに自分のほしがっていたマグカップを手に入れました。それはファイヤーキングのマクドナルドのモーニングカップです。今まで欲しくていろいろな所を見て回ったのですが、なかなか出会う事がなくこの前の土曜日に行った所で見つけてすぐにかってしまいました。見た時はすごく嬉しくてすぐに手を出して握ってしまいました。今は違った種類のファイヤーキングのマグカップをもっていてすべてお気に入りになっています。)

This is Fire King McDonald's Mug Cup
"Good Morning" Mug Cup!

a long time....

This morning, I made a breakfast for a long time, and looks good to me. I am so happy to see that I still can make some breakfast when i wake up around 5am. Usually, I don't have much time when I wake up then I go to school or work so I usually skip breakfast, but today i really want to eat... So I made one.

here is what I made.

Fire King Turquoise Snack Set Dish
but I use for breakfast dish. 

Well, it is not breakfast dish but I made breakfast and put it on. Then it looks really good, and came out good to me.

I feel like rich person lol :P just joking...  I just felt I am having a good time anyway

ahaha Hope everyone has same morning like I did.

It's nice to see some people visit my blog!

I am happy to see a lot of people visit my blog today and access from Japan. I am glad people are visiting my blog. I want to say who visit my blog to "THANK YOU!! :)" I am usually writing my blog every day as long as I can keep up.
(今日は嬉しい事を発見しました。それは自分のブログに日本から訪れてくれている方が増えたという事です。このブログに来てくれて本当に嬉しいです。英語が多いのですが、これからは日本語もこの様に一緒に書いていきます。そして来ていただいた方々、本当にありがとうございます。それから毎日何らかの更新をしていますのでまた遊びにきてください。)

This week, I am going to get some more Fire-King Dishes. However, not sure when I will get these item for me. But I couldn't go to Antique Stores this week. BUT I won ebay past weekend. So I hope I will get all what I won this week, and I will up these item sometime next week.
(今週はもう少しだけファイヤーキングを集めようかと思っています。しかしながら、いつになるかはわからないのですが。。。しかし、アンティークショップに行っている暇はないのです。でも、先週末にebayでファイヤーキングを買う事ができました。それを今週か来週には自分の手元に来るので来た時にはここに写真を載せようかと思っています。)

I also have a book about only Fire-King Collection, and it is very nice book. I like to look at inside a lot of time, and I can not believe how many of them are out there.
That book shows all Fire-King series, and what they are with pictures. I am sure that is really people think just a book, but for me make more information to learn and look at.
(今、ファイヤーキングコレクションの本をもっています。とてもすてきな本です。私はこの本を見るのがすごく楽しみです。そして、その本に載っているのを見るとこんなにもあるのかと思ってしまうくらいです。
その本にはファイヤーキングのすべてのシリーズについて乗っています。それに写真が載っているのでもっとわかりやすくなっています。確かに興味がない方にはただの本でしょ？って思われるかもしれないのですが、自分に取ってはとてもありがたい情報の本になっています。)

Well that is what I am going to write down about my stuff. Now, this past weekend, I found some stuff. These are some Fire-King from Antique shops. I am going to put some pictures.

Fire King Meadow Green Custard Cup

Fire King Meadow Green Original sticker inside

Fire King Orange and Block Color Creamer

Fire King / Anchor Hocking Mickey Mouse Mug

Fire King Green Diamond Chili Bowl

 I usually not find this item anywhere but only one place where I went stop on Saturday had this. I was really happy to see this and bought it.
(なかなかこのデザインのファイヤーキングを見つけた事がなく、今回たまたま行った場所にあってすごく嬉しくてすぐかってしまいました。)

Fire King Jadeite Mug

 This Jadeite Mug is expensive everywhere, and I couldn't reach and buy it, but that antique store one was not too expensive. So I could bought it. I don't have much Jadeite series, but I like to have mugs. So I decided to buy it.
(これはジェダイのマグで、いつもはどこへ行っても高くて($45〜$90)手の届かない場所にありました。でも今回は買える範囲の値段で早速かってみました。でもジェダイはあまり集めていないのですが、ちょっと色が緑の色がそこまで欲しいと思った事もなかったので。。。。でも、マグは欲しかったので買いました。) 

Fire King Jadeite Mug Stamp

I hope everyone enjoy this blog, and maybe you can left comment for me.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

I found a website.

I found a website which is "Nice Creation". I found this website by accident. But I really like that website. It shows about Fire-King, and other antiques. Also, that website is owner of antiques show in Kumamoto, Japan.
(今日は“Nice Creation"というウェブサイトを見つけました。自分のブログを検索した人の結果を見ていたら偶然見つけたものです。でもよく読んだらすごく良いブログでした。そのブログではファイヤーキングや他のアンティークの事をいろいろととりあげられていました。さらに、自分の地元、熊本のお店ではありませんか！)

I am from Kumamoto, Japan, and that was really nice to know where the antiques shop in there.
(自分の出身は熊本県です。そしてそのお店を知った事はすごくいい事だと思っています。)

I found some Fire King information from that website, and I am going to write about it.
(そこで自分の知らなかったファイヤーキングの情報についても知る事ができました。)

I have Fire-King Turquoise Blue Dishes, and I didn't recognized that color was only two years of period making and cost a lot in the worldwide. I went to several Antique shops around Greenville and NC, but I never seen that cost less than $20. I was wondering why that cost like that. But now I understand why it cost a lot.
(ところで自分のもっているファイヤーキングのターコイズブルーのお皿たちですが、１９５０年代にたったの約２年間のみ生産販売されていた事をしりませんでした。あちらこちらとアンティークショップを見て回ったんですが、どこに行っても高く$20以下の値段をみたことがありません。不思議に思ってはいたんですが、そのような理由身体とは思いませんでした。)

Here is what I have my Fire-King Turquoise Blue collection.
(ここに自分がもっているファイヤーキングのターコイズブルーの写真を載せてみます。)

Hopefully, I will finish all of what I am going to start things.

I got Fire King / Anchor Hooking dishes, cups.

Today, I got some Fire King and Anchor Hocking Dishes, cup, and so on.

I usually get from auction for Fire King cheaper than Antiques, but it won't be that good sometime. But this time, I got good deal and great condition ones. That is so good to have all addition to my collection.

Anchor Hooking (Fire King) "Teal Trim"

 I never seen this cup and saucer before but this is newer than most of Fire King/Anchor Hooking dishes. Also, I am so happy to have all different kind of these dishes.

Fire King Ivory Chili Bowl

 This bowl is good with rice and soups... I really wanted to have this color chili bowl, but I couldn't get it long time. Now, I am so happy to have many of this color dishes.

Fire King Ivory Custard Cup

 I really like this color of Fire King dishes and cups

Fire King Ivory Custard Cup
it said that "FIRE-KING OVEN GLASS"

 I like this color. Also, this would be perfect for using some making of deserts. I am sure it will be looks good with that.

Fire King Alice Blue Trim

This Fire King Alice is really nice cup and saucer and I really like to use it when I have free time and coffee time. This cup and saucer are making coffee looks delicious (>.<)v

I am so happy to have all these dishes what I have right now, and it is really nice to collect all and use them all.

I am collecting as much as I can from everywhere in the US, but I will try to keep all of them as good condition and maybe make my family traditions like an heirloom a family treasure.! :P maybe not... but I hope I can keep all this for my children for my future life.

I am not sure they think it is a worse to collect, but i am sure this will be a good dishes to collect anyway!

Mega Antique Shop in VA

I went to Williamsburg, VA. I found a Antique Mall there, and I didn't think they have more than 10,000 stuff in the store. I went to there around 1pm and I found several stuff there for few hours. But I just show only 10% of there stuff.

The store describes "the store with over 400 dealers, many from out of state, occupying the 45,000 square feet, the Mall is larger than most similar facilities and has more dealers." So I think it is best place to go there for once a month or something like that.

Here is what I got from there.

Fire King Ivory Custard Cups

Fire King Ivory Pie Pan

Fire King Jadeite Pitcher

Fire King Jadeite Pitcher 20oz

Fire King Wheat Dessert Bowl

Well hopefully someday, I will go there again.

2011.5.11

Today, I bought Fire King Azurite Charm Dishes. I had three cups and saucers for that particular pattern for little while ago. Now, I want to get Dinner plates for that. I already found that dinner plate long time ago, but I haven't bought it yet. Because it is expensive to buy it.

Well, I hope I can find somewhere cheaper to get it.

I like to look at these and using these. Because using them is very nice and breakfast, lunch and dinner would be really nice, and I really think it makes my dinner delicious... :)
