Friends often laugh at my Muji addiction. I've had it since I lived in London and relied on the store for its brandless, simple but useful stationery and notebooks. My addiction is such that I am physically incapable of walking past a Muji store and not 'popping in for a thing or two' even if it's just a pen or a packet of envelopes. One would think my house would be the picture of minimalistic comfort, but one would be wrong. Neverthless, that does not stop my love for all things Muji...ahh those mysterious Japanese product stickers, how I do love thee!

Today, however, I found myself drawn to the housewares section...where I was encouraged to buy a small wooden tray { for my late morning, afternoon and evening tea by the laptop } , a teeny roll of <a href="http://www.muji.us/store/household/kitchen/food-wrap-refill-s.html">food wrap </a> and a <a href="http://www.muji.us/store/household/kitchen/pp-case-for-plastic-kitchen-wrap-s.html">case</a> with a serrated edge for said food wrap. I love them! The tray was a purchase born for my love of the<a href="http://kitkadesigntoronto.com/?p=11117"> Japanese Walnut tray</a> on Kitka's design blog. Such a beaut.

If you are ever in Muji, or shopping it online - do not overlook the <a href="http://www.muji.us/store/household.html">household section</a>. It's full of some amazing treats! { And if anyone is looking to buy me a muji gift, I am eyeing their silicone baking molds!! }.
