Those are so cute! I have the same Ikea napkins. :)
These look super, but isn’t all that plastic adornment really wasteful? In a day with increasing oil prices and global food shortages as food is turned into fuel, it seems a bit wrong to be filling a lunch box with novelty toothpicks everyday just to look nice for a half hour before it’s all dumped in the trash.
Bone toothpicks! That is beyond cute.
Heather – yes, napkins are from Ikea, one of my favourite shops :D
Michele – I love them too! :)
Shari – I agree with you and I don’t like to waste things myself, muffin cases are from silicon and I they are not going to the trash… I use them to bake, to pack lunch and I will use them for years. Food picks are reusable, they are not going to be dumped in the trash as well (!) I actually try to waste as little as possible, especially food. That is why I make menu for the week and then I buy things I really need, this week we wasted only 1 small turnip and 1 potato that hided somewhere under other veggies and got spoiled. I also use reusable cotton shopping bags whenever I can… ;)
I want to be a kid again – and I want YOU to pack my lunchboxes!!
I am with Jeanne, I want to be a kid again so you can pack my lunches :D

Where did you get those adorable picks from? I especially love the bones. So cute.
I just bought those picks this week at Ichiban Kan in Japantown, San Francisco! I love them and should have bought more than one pack.
Thank you again for more comments :D
Aileen – I found them on eBay but you can probably find them also in Japanese shops.
Oh my God! I wish to have 3 years old again, Those are terrific!
I love that you made a Bento box out of a simple container. I have bought 3 different bento boxes for my son. They are just great. All though I am not sure they ever look as cute as yours. I need to go buy me some accessories now :)
