Boat of Many Coasts







We thought it would be nice to start with something right in our own kitchen. I've had this boat shelf since college. It came in two sizes from a craft store in Ohio and it was on sale. It has always had a rotating display of objects that really have nowhere else to go in the apartment.
Some current things on its shelves:
-Indian tobacco powders from Jackson Heights
-Chinese jar that once contained fermented tofu (it's the
squat blue jar with the red fringe - highly decorative and
most impractical)
-Faux Communist-era souvenir flask from Russia
-Dried black fungus mushroom in a box (they come in
large packs, but each box, once rehydrated, is enough for
a meal)
-Monkey cup made by a friend of a friend
-Plastic Japanese Usobuki Mask from Mitsuwa
