Japanese Vintage Wooden Kokeshi Doll Hand-Painted Children's Chopsticks mid-century white planter animals (a bumblebeeI found these fabulous hand painted vintage wooden chopsticks at an estate sale that featured a really interesting mix of Asian and farm house antiques. I believe the owner was in the military, and brought back lots of things from Japan, starting in the 1940s, which might be the age of these. They're just wonderful objects that could be great used to hold a hair bun in place, stake a plant, or just add a pop of cuteness here and there. So sweet! Sold
