At the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, at the Cherry Blossom Festival, I bought two vintage pieces of kimono fabric, a raw silk furoshiki (a bag that is really only a piece of fabric you knot to transport stuff, the ultimate re-use!), a sushi Bento box, green tea mochi and green iced tea, a Cherry Blossom Festival t-shirt, and on the way home, eight hand blown and hand cut wine glasses at a garage sale for $6 !
At my local Goodwill store, a bamboo steamer and a pair of bamboo salad utensils, both new.
Also, I refilled my subway card.
