"Today's theme is the color blue. Blue sky. Blue plate. Blue M&Ms. Make a photo of something blue and post it today."
Shot outside of a secondhand store in Worcester, MA.
Pictures of the kimono and related items I bought from a tiny second-hand shop I found in Arashiyama, Kyoto.
I bought:
Black Haori (3000)
Pale Green Haori (1000)
White/Black Kimono (5000)
Green/Blue Kimono (2000)
Blue Rainbow Obi Set (2500)
White Tabi Socks (1000)
Red Cord Zori Shoes (1500)
There are expected minor imperfections, mostly on the insides along common sweat stain areas or a few possible sunburn spots. I believe they're all mainly silk though, and they're very well-made.
The obi is a premade-type, so I don't have to learn how to tie it! Thank god, otherwise I'd never wear these.
A laurel made from secondhand sheets and lace.
Here in Benin, old lace tablecloth/curtains are used everywhere: hairnets, coverings for food so flies don’t come in, privacy curtains at doors and windows, and more.
What I enjoy more is buying the lace. In the US, we throw out things that are in perfectly good condition, but where do they actually go? One answer is Africa, where our unwanted stuff is resold in piles on the streets here. It’s fun to “thrift” for the fabric here and then make something out of materials originally destined for the trash.
I bought a lace sheet and a curtain sheet to line it with, however since the lace was already heavy this dress is very thick and more suited for winter. I finished the edges with bias tape facing & added pockets because they’re just too useful to leave out.
I wrote more in my sewing journal here: cathywu.com/journal/treadling/2013/04/14/secondhand-lace-...

Brandy shredded up pieces of the original 20 thrift store album covers and created this new psychedelic collage cover.
Red linen 50s (am I right on this?) swimming costume with elasticized ruching in the back, built-in bra cups in the front. Perfect for a picnic in a city with warmer summers. Instead I wore it with platform shoes around Vegas last summer. Alameda Flea Market a year and a half ago, $15.
Another of the many operators to benefit from London's inability to get on with the Daimler Fleetline, was City of Oxford. JGU 275K picks up a load near the city centre.
This bus lives on in model form.

One of those funny old baskets made with paper pictures, covered with plastic and woven together at the sides with plastic cord. What are they called? What era are they from? Anyone?
Not the most flattering shot, but I was too hungry to care. Today was my day off, so I spent it doing the grocery shopping our Thanksgiving feast. Hooray cranberries! Consequently I wanted to wear something comfy and warm. While I was tempted to schlub around in workout pants and one of hubby's sweatshirts, I decided to steal his new scarf instead. I love the way the shades of green look together.
