Still working on my next DIY project so I thought we'd go sifting through some new thrift stores! This is as close as I can get to garage sales/flea markets in Japan so I treasure them so much! It's also time to get working on our garden again, and Poki got his surgery to remove his big ol' bump. The biopsy was totally fine, like the previous ones. Most likely it was from allergies. We enjoyed our one day of quiet Poki post-operation before he returned to air raid siren mode.

Thrift stores, gardening, and cats--this is a pretty accurate representation of about 90% of our lives. I'm in the middle of a new DIY project for our cats, but I am also being summoned to our garden with excellent weather so next video may end up being more plants!

do you know how you said someone will want the vase at 5 minutes in i want it
Thank you for the video.
I'm just happy that Poki is so resilient.😊
Your garden looks so beautiful. 😍
The DVD/fridge-combo would have been a great birthday present for my brother as kids. He allways liked the "cool and expensive" stuff, you could show off.😩
My only "project" right now, is learning. So there is only so much I can do, to speed things up.😭
thank you for another vlog I always look forward to seeing the garden and the cats, tell haku i said hi!
Pretty sure the "Rod Stand" might be for pool rods?
I want to try Sakuraco, but I’m just wondering what the average shelf life is?
Jun: "I've always wanted a doll house when I was growing up"
Rachel: *"JUN, W E A P O N S T A N D"*
😂😂😂 they are so cute
Rachel’s American came out strong there. I also thought it might be a hunting rack of some kind 😅
My favorite parts
it might be a pool cue rack but i love that her head went straight to weapons lol
I actually thought it was a stand for pool cues, lol.
jun's childhood desire for doll houses and sylvanian families sets was the most relatable thing i've ever heard
This Jun fact completely checks out.
Yeah, I am female and I always wanted cars and mech/tech stuff and such, but got the girly stuff. 🥲
That was pretty wholesome, but I can’t figure why
Saaaame. I've always wanted one but it's so expensive and we don't have the space
I wasn't allowed to buy Sailor Moon as a kid because I'm a boy, so 100% Jun on that.
it's sad that Jun never got to play with the little houses but it's amazing that he got to build his own house and now gets to live in it
I recently saw something where a little boy had a play cooking set, and it made me happy as not even that long ago, toys for boys to play cooking didn't exist. Unfortunately, it took the rise of male chefs to show that cooking can be something boys/men can do, but at least we're making progress 😅
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley i had a outdoor play cooking set when I was young. That was back in the middle 90's
it was aimed at both boys and girls.
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley It always was male chefs in the kitchen, it's actually a very sexist working environment. The cliché only works for the obedient housewife, money-making was left to the "superior gender"
And that's the one thing that's better than a dollhouse.
@Beware the Lily of the Valley historically speaking, most chefs have always been male... it's a male dominated career. Ironic that women were supposed to cook and clean in the home but chefs were male.
17:15 oh my god i just noticed the official vet documents refer to pets with the 'chan' honorific?? They list him as Poki-chan, thats so cute 😭 💕 Hope he has a quick recovery!
jun talking about how badly he wanted a dollhouse as a kid broke my heart. love your inner child jun you should get one and decorate it! you could get so fancy with it and furnish the inside with custom wallpaper and flooring with how talented you guys are!
YESS!! I would love to watch videos from Jun of him making over a dolls house 😊
Oh my gosh same!! Please get Jun a dollhouse or make a really cool custom one!! I can only imagine how beautiful it would turn out if Jun made a custom dollhouse, and what a fun project
Luckly I managed to do one back then :D
But then got into plushies v:
For real! stuff like that is so fun you don't have to be a kid to do it. I still have dolls and im old lol although i wish he got to do it as a kid. kids should play with what makes them happy.
i had the opposite problem as a kid, getting girls toys when i wanted hot wheels n' shit. unnecessarily gendered products are wild
I can't read Japanese and yet Poki's exam results were more readable than anything I've ever gotten from a doctor or a vet over here 😩
Yeah it's awesome. Glad Poki's levels are better. *knocksonwood*
It's better handwriting than when I'm trying to write pretty kanji. Also, I'm pretty sure doctors here just drop their pens onto charts and tell us that it's supposed to mean something.
@@yangzhang5870 😄 ya it's weird doctors have horrible penmanship.
@@yangzhang5870 There's actually been a couple studies that examine US doctors' handwriting development and fun fact! Our culture of saying "doctor handwriting sucks" over here actually encourages medical students to let their penmanship degrade intentionally! We literally encourage doctors to keep writing terribly because everyone has the stereotype about it so medical students change their behavior to fit the stereotype to be considered "good"/"standard" doctors.
@@inkynewt т
‘You’re an adult, you can get a dollhouse’ literally made me so happy 🥹🥹🥹
Jun should get into miniature houses, for sure! His eye for detail would make him a natural for it.
Dioramas, too. It's DIY, creative, artistic. Perfect for him.
Cats, gardening and thrift stores, you turning into a proper oba-san Rachel. Congrats! ✌✌
Wait til you see my Japanese grandpa-style work overalls I got for gardening 😭

@@K.Arashi Memento Mori
@@mayavil Memento Vivere :D
I wish I was in the meeting where they pitched the TV / DVD player / fridge combo unit... what a wild concept.
I thought it seemed like a brilliant idea for tiny studio apartment setups where you might not have space for both a traditional entertainment center and a mini fridge, or house share where the only space that's fully Yours is a single room with the same layout issues and also your food and drinks have proven to be at risk of disappearing from the communal fridge. Markets itself, really!
Well, that's the '90s for ya.
considering how popular fridges with TVs were for a while around 7 years ago or so, it makes so much sense, especially for people who have little space. It could be the beer/soda fridge to use when friends come over to watch movies?
@@Ace_Maus I think I was under a rock for the last 7 yrs... Today was the first time I saw the Tv/DVD/fridge combo...
I was worried when poki was squeaking but I'm so relieved he was back to yelling at the end! Also Japanese thrift stores look SO MUCH COOLER than American ones!!
Yeah, their thrift stores remind me more of American antique malls 😊
That's the secret with rose bushes: you're led to believe they're super fancy and high-maintenence, but they have that cockroach instinct that makes them live through anything. The most maintenance they need is being pruned so they don't spread out of control.
i have a climbing rose that takes over the house roof every year, so fast it grows. it's exhausting to cut every year.
"that cockroach instinct" 🤣 It's so funny but so accurate, ty for this exquisite nugget of phrasing
Morning glories are similar... you're supposed to plant them each year but they drop their seeds and tend to replant themselves
Seriously they are so hardy they'll survive when all your other plants die.
They come back from being frost bitten and from extreme heat too and even if you yourself fuck up they can even take being cut way too short to a certain extent.
My mom has a small rental garden she got from an elderly couple before her and there are some rose bushes on that plot of land that are at least 40+ years old and before my mom took over nobody knew how to properly care for them and they are still thriving.
They survived my mother accidentally backing over them
I'm amused how politely Jun explains that bamboo is a grass, not a wood.
Right?!? They compliment each other well. You just know so many other people would've fought it out to be the "right" one. They're so cute together ☺️
Though using the broadest definition of "wood", bamboo is both a grass and a wood! And also a tree!
대나무는 풀
Rachel excitedly calling out for Jun when she finds something cool is so cute! "WEAPON STAND!"
I can see Jun making/refurbishing doll houses. I would watch that for hours. I had littlest pet shop as a child and I was so gutted when we had to sell it all. I miss the simplicity of childhood and imagination.
Poor Poki, hope he gets well soon, his soft flower cone must be way more comfy and also soooo adorable
I loved the correction of bamboo is not wood and also how Jun was absolutely not ready to argue about it even though he was right LMAO
Wish Poki speedy recovery!❤ His poor little squeaks🥹
I audibly went "awwww" at his lil squeaks 😭 That's the quietest I've ever heard him 🥹 At least he was back to screaming a day later 😆
Hearing Jun talk about wanting a doll house just solidifies that fact I’m going to get my son a doll house for his birthday ❤
I love how Poki has figured out to: 1. Call humans over 2. Make wheel spin 3. Get chicken. Even if it's just 3 steps 😆
omg jun liking the dollhouses was so relatable. my family bought me the dollhouses but in reality i really wanted toys like the dinosaurs, cars, and transformers PLS
Tonka trucks
For me i got barbies but i wanted legos
Dear Jun and Rachel, I know this is silly and I know you probably won't read this, but I really hope you can appreciate Poki being super loud because I also had a very loud cat as well. When she passed it was very silent. I miss the meows.
So sorry for your loss. No matter how long they live, it's never long enough. 💔
Petition to make ‘Flower/Garden updates’ regular please! I love watching you decorate your garden🥹💛
7:32 was an experience for me, I went from “a mini fridge with a DVD player IN THE DOOR! Why do I need this?!?” to “... that’s Bad Boy playing in the background. I recognized the song that quickly? 😅” within the same second.
me too 😂
I can relate to Rachel spilling water all over because she wants to watch the flower in the glass.
It's not too late for the Sylvanian doll house, Jun! I just bought mine with other buildings, furniture & families of Calico Critters animals last year at age 71! They're addicting once you start. 😊
This makes me wanna go thrift shopping with you 😭
Omg poki is so cuteee
Yes same!! Thrift stores & Antiques shops are amazing!!
I LOVE just looking through flea markets, thrift stores, and antique stores. It's always fun to hunt for little treasures. Glassware and furniture items are some of my personal favorites. Edit: Wow! Your garden is looking amazing! It's so pretty. Hopefully we get to see more as everything grows.
6:30 I believe that doll house is from a line of toys called calico critters, The model is called "red roof country home", I had one of them when I was a child and loved it! The matching animal figures that go with it are really cute as well, they're fuzzy animals with cute vintage/cottage core style clothing. I recognized the house right away lol, sadly mine is gone now.
There is no price that can be placed on Poki's good health, he's a national treasure
Pokis sad little squeaks were adorable
The thing you said "there not flowers it's some sort of succulent thing" it's called "Rose Moss" it's a ground covering succulent that comes in many colors. It's my favorite succulent.
Moss roses are really easy to start from seed and once established reseed themselves annually. In the right zone, however
It would be so cool to try and make a replicate dollhouse of your own house! And furnish it with the mini versions of your furniture or even use it to test out different furniture/decorations!
As much as my favourite parts of your videos are your kitties, the unexpected highlight was Jun and the abacus 😂😂😂😂
Thrift stores are amazing. The older I get, the more my treasure hunting just turns on and i love finding weird, old shit that for some reason noone wants anymore.
As a young woman, in my 30's, I didn't want anyone elses "junk". I worked so I could get new things...During a town craft fair I went into an antique shop and OMG, "I had that", "my Mom had that", "I remember that".....my childhood was on sale in an antique shop! I now love going to Estate sales, antique shops and Flea Markets. Not yard or garage sales, mostly young mothers selling their kids outgrown clothes and toys, but Estate Sales especially are related to me and my generation now.
i think if Jun got a doll house he'd start making his own and end up a famous architect in the end.
Oh that's everything I love watching: diy, cats, gardening, thrift stores, cats and cats 😂💗
Rachel should totally collab with a cat furniture company, she has so many great ideas as an experienced cat owner!
It's so cute that Jun wanted a dollhouse as a kid, but sad that he never got one.
T.T Listening to Jun talk about only getting "girls" toys is so relatable :( I'm so glad you're both able to live and express yourselves however you like, "girl stuff" and "boy stuff" can go stuff it!
Ya, and sad that now he would be labeled as gay or Trans because he liked "girl stuff". Who cares what toys a kid wants, just let them play and have fun as kids.
@@sweetmissirish I mean, you can take your transphobia and homophobia off my trans gay dude self's post, thanks.
Yeah the problem with that is that most boys do want boy toys and most girls want girl toys. If you got me a girls toy as a kid I would have been pissed. It happened to me a few times and I hated it. Some people are different, but to apply that to everyone is a mistake.
@@inkynewt You should look into the guy who helped people turn away from the KKK by becoming their friend instead of just insulting them and telling them how evil they are. Educate instead of demonizing. It could go a long way to helping people understanding Trans people. Just a friendly word of advice, otherwise you are just further stoking the flame of hatred
Rachel while bugging Haku: Are you going to bite me?
Haku: I'm seriously considering it.
Their vet is so good. Such attention to detail. Great job!
I love 2nd hand shopping. My dad and stepmother used to live in a really ritzy neighborhood and they would have an annual community garage sale over a weekend every summer. Man, let me tell you I got designer bags and all kinds of fun goodies that I couldn't ordinarily afford retail lmao 😆
Aww for Poki! That was certainly a big bump!! He's definitely sounding better, but was so cute when he had that hoarse "Mrow!" The dreaded cone of shame! The flower one looks MUCH better (and cuter, too!)! It's always been fun to see the DIY! Can't wait to see how the next one looks!
omgggg poki's raspy little pathetic meows were so cute~~ poor baby lol
Two things I just love, not, including the cats, of course. I’ve always loved how much Jun loves Rachel. I mean in casual conversation not many men keep calling their wife, their wife, after years into the marriage. And I love how happy Rachel is; I’ve never heard her giggle like this. It’s an adorable, sweet, sweet, giggle and you can tell she’s just deeply happy. 💕
Yes! And I love how he often notices her beautiful hair color and any objects that remind him of it, like that orange mask. You can tell how much he still loves her after all these years, and she loves him just as much.
Man, browsing thrift stores is always a lot of fun - who knows what you'll come across! 😂
(Also Jun picking up the abacus and telling his abacus course story... Heheh me too, Jun! 😂😺)
Anyone else jealous of the surgical summary? I feel that summary and after paperwork is better for pokie than I have ever seen on a human.
Rachel always make me die laughing with her Poki descriptions...air raid siren 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and that one video where she literally lowered the decibels of Poki's meow-yelling to preserve our hearing.
Jun was right with setting the Abacus. I teach blind and visually impaired students here in the US. and we use a slightly modified abacus that was based on the design of the Japanese abacus. It’s used the same way. So yes, Jun can do anything
*if you’re curious why specifically blind and visually impaired students use an abacus where is most other students here don’t, it’s because abstract concept like multiplication and division with large numbers are harder to learn without having something to touch 3:30
Ooooooo interesting
So happy to see you bought and use the pretty tea/coffee pot!!
Poor Poki, I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery. It's rather sad hearing his squeaky little voice, I miss his full on miaows!
My cat had a tumor removed from his chin and needed to wear a cone as well. For the whole time, he just lived in the bed because he was too scared to move because of the cone. Happy to see that Poki could handle it well!
I love Poki's little meows. Such a chatty boy.
Also, that DVD fridge was something else!
The doll house😍 I love sylvanian families doll houses!
Wow the vet! So much cheaper than America, we had a 1cm-isn mass removed from ourcat's foot a few years ago and that was not nearly as complicated and it was nearly $2K. Poki is so lucky you found him! The garden looks great!
omg imagine June doing a series when he builds a doll house and the furniture!!!
That coffee set looks so cool!! I'm not even a coffee person but it's something i definitely want in my house and serve guests with. Also Jun wanting a Sylvanian Families dollhouse is super relatable lmao.
Oh Poki you poor baby! I'm sure he's feeling much better now. It's so hard to see our babies uncomfortable, but your kitties are lucky to have you two.😽💞🌺
Speedy recovery Poki you poor little squeak toy
Enjoyed waving bye to Haku at the end of the vid, very cute, but sad flower Poki stole my heart
Wow, 500 something dollars is what I pay for a normal yearly checkup with blood work for my cats in the USA. No wonder people don't take care of their pets very well in the states - everyone should but it's so easy to get a pet and can be so hard to pay for any medical care.
Such a fun video! I'd love to see you both build or decorate a dollhouse together. I have no doubt it'd turn out amazing.
Oh, Poki's pathetic little mews, my heart can't handle... It's so cute and sad sounding😭
I want Jun to have the doll's house of his dreams
7:43 When the munchies hit while you're watching a DVD...you're covered, for BOTH KINDS OF BINGES! 😂
THE DVD FRIDGE
Thrift shops are so fun! Your garden is going to be so gorgeous and peaceful!!
I absolutely adore how Poki shouts to let you know he's on the wheel and then once you're watching he takes a few steps and is ready for his treat 😂
Its so adorable how Poki does that. lol, hes trained his humans well.
Thrifting in Japan looks so fun! I had "bamboo is not a type of wood" drummed into me at young age, lol. That same parent also made me learn how to use an abacus, too! It was one of those old school redwood ones. I love how Rachel's prototypes make wonderful nesting areas for the cats!
Also I know that the pink "dots" on Poki's plastic cone is for adjusting the cone size, but I chose to believe it to be sakura-themed cone 😅😂🙈😺
My own black and white cat is wearing the Elizabethan collar due to an eye injury. I'm glad Poki is doing well! Hope he recovers fast!
poor pokis little meow awww :( is he just more susceptible to developing masses and cysts or is it just bad luck? either way im glad theyre doing well and i hope poki can stay mass free from now on!!!!
This spring Sakura box is so fancy! I love it. And you even match the box's theme :)
poki flower! I love the way rachel says this, it's so cute, and poki is also very cute in his flower cone 😁😁
There will be times where I'll rewatch videos until a new video catches my eye and this channel is a gold mine as this whole week I been essentially watching the entire channel!
It's great, I love it, I love this channel, I love both Rachel's and Jun's personality on screen, the cats b-roll is my favorite, the music choices in the background is also my favorite. If this was a show this would be a 10/10 slice of life
Thank you very much
The DVD/Mini Fridge combo unit is like the modern day version of my sister's room TV set.
Everyone that saw the TV thought it was a microwave, except it was just from the 80s and needed a wrench to change the channel.
6:23 THIS WAS SO ME, I LOVED IT TOO JUN 😅 luckily playmobile was gender neutral enough and was basically the same thing so I got that a lot as a kid
as an adult learning how to light doll houses, Jun would be SO GOOD at miniatures!!! and I would love to watch
It must be so much fun walking with June and Rachel in these stores, you can be on the other side of the store and just hear "JUN! THIS IS SO COOL!"
It would be amazing to see mini-house decoration! I love those sorts of things. Lately I've been seeing a lot of videos of someone building miniture little houses for their cats and it is so fun!
It's so good to see you! Days are 1000 times better with yours videos!
Rachel in the sponsored segment you look like the personification of spring, so pretty! Those colors really suits you!
I'm very happy to see all the cats happy and healthy, good boy poki is really a trooper!
7:00 Jun saying he would've loved a dollhouse/diorama-styled toy as a kid :,)
ps- Jun would be so good at that kind of stuff !!! He's so meticulous and I'd loved to see a video of that
Texan here, I almost cried when you had the Texas sign
I'm Canadian, & I recognized it as soon as Jun asked, "What state is this?" And he still had it upside down! Howdy, ally, cousin, friend, & neighbour! 🤠
jun wanting sylvanian families sets as a kid is so relatable for me 😭😭 even now i think about getting them from time to time now that im an adult
the garden is shaping up so well! really excited to see it once its all grown out
on 5:33, when June say dairiseki the subtitles translates it to Daddy sexy and I was crying laughing 😂
Miniature design and decorating can be really fun! Seeing how both of you are into DIY, it would be cool to see what kinds of details you would add to a little dollhouse or miniature garden. Maybe a future project?
2:28 “boogie nights are always the best in town!”
Haven't been on this channel in a few years. Happy to see you two are still so happy together. Warms my heart. 😃
6:53 CALICO CRITTERS
that gigantic cabinet at 1:25 😭 its so beautoful!!!! also YAY im so happy to see you both still mask 💖!!
4:16 that white and pink cat is so cute!!!!
Saying Bamboo isn't wood is like arguing tomatoes are fruits.
It's used like any other type of wood for furniture and other carpentry tasks.
semantics, lol.
Indeed.
Correct in one context (botanical, for both lol), incorrect in another (furniture for bamboo, cooking for tomatoes)
Not at all.
May you always stay in tiptop shape, sweet loud boy Poki.
Thank you for posting even as you guys are busy. I always enjoy watching your videos, especially when I am eating as I am doing right now. Gives me some company so I don't have to eat alone. Keep on making fun videos!
Thrift Stores and Flea Markets are my home. You can always find such interesting things in them and it's always cheap.
I love how even after all these years of being married June is still teaching Rachel things about Japan! 💕
He’s like thats a tricky question, cute, we instantly knew jun 😂😂
Looking forward to Jun putting together his own dollhouse and excelling at it.
17:41 You can make a softer cone out of felt or a thin foam material.
I think Jun should get to have a doll house now as an adult since he wasn't allowed to have one as a child.
Glad Poki is recovering well. The garden is coming along nicely and the thrift stores looked so fun to explore.
