Okinawa Time/Thursday Doors

To my fellow Americans, Happy Independence Day!

For my niece and nephew overseas in Japan, this is a little belated if you consider the time differences, but I wanted to share the door pics they gratiously donated to my cause. But before I get to the photos, here’s my little “Thank You” for my nephew’s service to our country.

Thanks Zach for serving our country admirably and Thank you Evette for being such a great example of support! Love you guys!!

For the fans of things Handmade, this set of pictures should strike your fancy. The shop Evette visited was a nice little pottery shop and she did it justice with the photo finds. So without further ado, I present the pottery choices she discovered.

I believe these statues are Shisha Dogs and are used to ward off evil spirits.

Not a grand door but I sure could use one of those umbrella holders after the rain we’ve had this year!

Open Doors
Shisha Dogs and Pots

Maybe this is the main entrance? or the back entrance? But no shisha dogs guarding it. Once inside though you can see they are well protected with the line up on the shelf.

Personally, that slab table with all the pottery is something else!

  3. Fun little shop. I think it’s so cool when one of our door contributors is able to recruit a few willing minions to scour the world and do some door hunting for them. Bravo to all who contributed to this post and a belated Happy 4th to you 🙂
