Kew began as an exotic garden for Lord Capel John of Tewkesbury. It was enlarged and extended by Augusta, Dowager Princess of Wales (widow of Frederick, Prince of Wales) - this extension included various structures designed by Sir William Chambers. In 1840 the gardens were adopted as a national botanical garden. Under Kew's director, William Hooker, the gardens were increased to 75 acres and the pleasure grounds, or arboretum, extended by 270 acres, and later to its present size (300 acres). The first curator was botanist John Smith (1798–1888).

This incredible tree, which isn't native to Europe, actually makes passers-by stop and gawk - especially on a sunny November day like today.
This is a VINTAGE Japanese Yukata. Yukata are informal kimono worn to and from the bathhouse and for street festivals. They are essentially the jeans and t-shirt combo of the kimono world, and they are meant to be worn only in the summer. This kimono likely originates in the Showa Period (1926 - 1989). It is dyed with a bright pattern of turning maple leaves on a traditional indigo background. This kimono is rather small in size, so it was likely ether made for a very petite woman or possibly a teenager.
I have inspected this kimono in detail, and there is minimal damage; only a couple of faint marks on the inside of the collar. Overall I would rate this kimono as being in excellent vintage condition. There are no tears, holes or seam separations. I believe this garment is 100% cotton.
MEASUREMENTS:
Length: 146cm
Arm Span: 127cm
Width Across Back: 59cm
Total Width of Skirt: 128cm
Sleeve Drop: 44.5cm
SIZING:
If you are unsure of how to interpret the kimono's size it is important to know that the length (collar - hem) should be approximately 10cm longer to 10cm shorter than the wearer's overall height (longer is better). This is because the excess length will be folded up at the waist. Meanwhile, the skirt should wrap around the hips a full 1.5 times. The armspan should also reach wrist to wrist on the wearer. In this case, the kimono will ideally fit a woman about 136cm (4'5") - 156cm (5'1") tall, with hips about 92cm (36") around. There is some give and take in these measurements though.

This is a Tiger Maple Trestle Table that we just got from the Vermont furniture maker Greg Goodman and the table top is AMAZING! The grain looks like silk ribbons througout the top....the irridescence is jawdropping! I literally gasp when I saw this table. The top has such a fine finish to it it feel like glass. Beautiful! www.vermontwoodsstudios.com
