Besides my all consuming bag passion, I have a new and present love. One i have been meaning to indulge for a while but never found what i was looking for, at a price i was willing to pay, nor with wood i was willing to purchase. Since experiencing the pleasures of eating from wooden plates and dishes at my sister in laws house in the epi-centre of hippieville in Marin county, i have harboured my own secret desire to emulate this luscious and rather medieval experience, in the comfort of my own home. Something about curling up with a wooden bowl filled with organic fare really appeals to the earthy, primitive me. I like to couple my wooden bowl experience with a wooden handled fork...as we dont eat slabs of meat we rarely use knives, so a fork and bowl does fine for curry, pasta and rice. I didnt buy much in Bali, but i did come home with 10 of these coconut wood bowls filling my suitcase. Beautiful, organic, sustainable, emminently ethicurean. Its the small things that make me happy.

I bet they feel gorgeous in the hand. They certainly are most beautiful
I'm glad customs let them in
Ooooohhhhh I'm soooo jealous. I love wood too and coconut shelsl. I love to sit and sand a coconut shell just for pure pleasure. How big are they? How have they been made, from one piece? You should source these as a sustainable product for your site... I'd buy them!
laura jane- they are lovely- we all love using them..no clinking! no worms holes= customs best friend!
emma- these are made from coconut wood not shells, so the trunk part. Lathed out from sections. and yes...had thought about that...was testing response! lol
