We begin a new chapter, you can visit where we left off here:
http://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?f= ... 84#p190284
"A Journey into the TeaCave ..." Part 1.
The shelves hold the wooden boxes (sans the signed lids) that these pieces came in ... works nicely for displaying when you have a LOT to display.
This is where we sit for tea ... the pieces shown here, 80% are from the Hagi SO program, but not all the Hagi SOs are here.

I know. I was referring to my wish for a cat-free zone where I can display them.

My cat likes to play the "push and pull things off shelves" game.

As previously mentioned in an alternate universe: Ooh shiny... *-*
Just wondering, if the signed lids are stored separately, how do you keep track of which lid belongs to which piece?

Oh SHIT!
OK, I actually have the lids all stacked together with a note for each lid.

I guess the question is : how many parts of this "Journey into the Tea Cave" will there be !?!
Another one could be : how many will it take for my jaw not te be able to climb up ever again !

I'm still stumbling from Part One.

Love it, Chip, a beautiful collection.
Also, nice tease by showing only a little of the other shelves in the background

Many more parts to come I hope!
P.S. Nice thermometer friendly yuzamashi
