Not ready for the sweaters, scarves and jackets out in stores? Perhaps a cup of tea would be more appealing. Or hot chocolate. Or any drink that would give you an excuse to use a Shinzi Katoh Teatime mug and dish set. The snack dish nestles on top of the mug, which has no purpose but looks cute. Katoh’s bento boxes and accessories are a hot item among collectors, but good luck finding a place to ship here. As it is, the teatime set comes from a UK site. The combo will set you back £10.75, or about $20.
