Since I have a somewhat captive audience here on the blog, may I ask a favor? If you ever see one of these bowls in your travels, please grab one for me.
This is my atmospheric mood picture.
Or maybe I decided to write about this later in the day when it was very cloudy out. I’ll leave it up to you.
I bought 4 of these bowls from a wonderful kitchen store in Woodstock several years ago. Unfortunately, 2 of them broke. I’d like to say it was all Don’s fault, but truth be told, it was due to my own clumsiness. I tried to replace them but the ladies at the shop said the manufacturer wasn’t shipping them anymore. The stamp on the bottom of the bowl says ‘Kiss That Frog.’ So, a couple of years ago, I did a Google search and contacted them. Unfortunately, they were only for sale on a wholesale basis – and I didn’t need 100 of them.
Here’s a view of the both sides. (Pardon the annoying intrusion of our binoculars in the upper left of this photo.) Isn’t the design lovely? As you can see, I’m just about to settle down with some ramen noodles.Yes, it’s true. Apparently, I’m reliving my studio apartment days when ramen was a quick, cheap meal. It still is, I’ve found.
If I had my way, I’d have about 8 or 10 of these. That way I’d have some back-ups. Because I do break things.
These bowls make me happy. Just think how happy I would be if my dear readers found some! I’d reimburse you, of course. Just file this image away in the back of your head and maybe some day you will be walking around a shop and (cue choir of angels) there it will be. You never know. Stranger things have happened.
Did you ask the maufacturers who they have sold them to? If they sell them wholesale maybe they can tell you who has bought them…It’s worth a try. I will definitely be on the lookout. They are really cool looking.
Blessings, Joanne
Claudia, I would love to have them in my kitchen, as well- Good luck, finding some more.
Hugs,Dorthe
i would ask the manufacturer who buys the bowl from them. Then you could contact the retail outlet. I’ll keep my eyes open for you.

They are very pretty Claudia! I will be glad to keep my eye out for some. ~Hugs, Patti
I’ll be looking, Claudia! Twyla
Very nice bowls! They are just the right size for a serving. I am looking for bowls that size now. I will keep an eye out for you.
Oh, I just can’t stand it when I have a broken set of an item and can’t find another… I’ll keep my eyes open for one of those bowls for you!
Oh yes, I’ll be looking everywhere…….some for you and perhaps a few for me!! Delightful, and one can never have enough bowls.
Hugs – Mary
Claudia, all you need do is find 10 other women who want to buy 10 each and you can place the wholesale order. lol NO? Well then you have done the next best thing by putting it out into the bloggie universe. :D
Did you talk to the “‘big boss” at the company? If there is a CEO I might write her/him. I have pulled off amazing stunts by writing to the top, with excessive description of my adoration for a product. hehe

Of course, I will be keeping my eyes peeled for you sweetie. I mean, I’m always out and on the hunt for something.
I’ll keep an eye out for you for sure. Mom is the same today, tired and not wanting to talk, this is hard.
