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.
New toy FSLR,a second-hand Nikon F80. Finally，I can take a look at the visual effect of 18mm in 135 full frame format. It's so cheap and good money-for-value.

Quanta by J. Andrade e Silva and G. Lochak; bought this - a well written introduction to quantum theory.
"Father has a business strictly secondhand
Everything from toothpicks to a baby grand
Stuff in our apartment came from father's store
Even things I'm wearing someone wore before
It's no wonder that I feel abused
I never get a thing that ain't been used
I’m wearing secondhand hats
Secondhand clothes
That’s why they call me
Secondhand Rose
Even our piano in the parlor
Father bought for ten cents on the dollar
Secondhand curls
I'm wearing secondhand pearls
I never get a single thing that's new
Even Jake the Plummer, he's the man I adore
Had the nerve to tell me he's been married before!
Everyone knows that I'm just Secondhand Rose
From Second Avenue..." Hanley & Clarke
Secondhand Books Flea Market outside Shitennoji Temple
Shitennoji Temple (四天王寺)
Shitennoji Temple was the first Buddhist temple in Japan. It was originally built in 593 by Prince Regent Shotoku Taishi. In 587, when he was only 14 years old, together with his father-in-law, Soga no Umako, head of the most powerful clan Soga, fought against Mononobe no Moriya, head of the Mononobe clan, who was against the introduction of Buddhism into Japan. The prince prayed for help to the Shitenno (Four Buddhist Heavenly Guardian Kings) and promised them to build an Imperial Temple in their honor if the Shitenno helped him to defeat the enemies. His army became victorious thus he constructed a temple and named it Shitennoji (the Temple of the Four Heavenly Buddhist Guardians). At the side of the Torii Gate in front of the Great West Gate, there is a stone monument which reads : " The Buddhism arrived here for the first time in Japan". Many buildings were destroyed several times, by fires, civil wars, typhoons, earthquakes and the U.S. bombings in 1945 during the World War II and were rebuilt in 1963.

When in Ouidah, you cannot avoid the street sellers walking around with their goods piled on their heads whether it be bananas, bras, or… bissap. Frozen hibiscus juice. My addiction to this frozen snack is what inspired me to try and dye some secondhand sheets with hibiscus flowers.
Unfortunately my dye washed out the moment it touched some laundry detergent. So instead of a deep crimson I have a very pale pink. But it’s okay, it means I’ll just keep experimenting with natural dyes until I get it right. I promise, one day I’ll reach my goal of having a deep crimson fabric with no chemicals involved!
I added a drop waist skirt because I wanted to lengthen my Laurel, but also because I was a bit sick of making the same silhouette over and over. My mind wandered to a dress I had seen in the book I am Cute Dresses by Sato Watanabe which featured alternating lace panels. Perfect.
Then my mind kept wandering and I thought back to a post on the Coletterie Blog that featured lacey beaded pockets by Chanel (www.coletterie.com/inspiration/detail-inspiration-lacy-po...). I wanted to try it myself using local waist beads. Although my version compares in no way to Chanel’s, I’m still in love with how it turned out and want to continue with beading for future projects.
As for the neckline, I made a faux peter pan collar, added the keyhole rather than cut it out, and added teardrops and beaded all that because I felt I needed some beads on top to balance out the beads on the pocket.
Voila! For even more details, and a how to on making hibiscus juice in Benin, I wrote more in my blog here: cathywu.com/journal/treadling/2013/04/29/hibiscus-dyed-be...

john benson's workshop. donated equipment that he fixes or uses for parts to fix people's chairs, in Berkeley and Oakland
While trying to find secondhand pieces for my and Dracula’s Halloween costumes this week I came across these pants. I am not a pants wearer usually. You will almost always find me in some sort of running shorts, skirts, dresses, and soft layers. The pants are made of a fiber called Lyocell and according to Wikipedia’s article it is a “semi-synthetic fiber made from wood pulp, typically from trees like eucalyptus, birch, and oak. The natural cellulose from the wood is dissolved and spun into a strong fiber, which is then used to create fabric. Lyocell is known for being a sustainable option due to its production process, which recycles solvents and water, and its biodegradable nature.” I honestly hadn’t done much research on it until today and I am very curious. As long as I remember I have hated pants. (Except JNCO jeans and wide corduroy skater pants in the 90’s.) As a woman with some big soft curves everywhere; pants and the constant changing of what’s available due to trends has been the bane of my existence. I have tried over and over to wear jeans and it feels like a prison for my legs. As I age and my body’s cycles (especially that of bloat) have become more apparent; comfort is almost always paramount now. These pants are loose and truly buttery soft feeling. I know they lack structure and border on pajama pants, but I have already found another used pair in blue on eBay I love them so much. I see these being a consistent wardrobe piece for a long while. They have a lot of stretch in the waist which I am really enjoying. Oh and they are from brand Knox Rose. I paired them two different ways. Once with a boxy cropped short sleeve shirt I made out of a thrifted table cloth, a sort of tea time garden party pastel blazer with the cutest little floral buttons, my purple suede sneakers, and a wooden disc necklace. Everything in that outfit was thrifted. The second time was to go out to dinner and a short walk from our home to the tavern. I wore my black Tom’s (bought new several years ago), a sage green eyelet spaghetti strap tank top (Of an unknown brand and fabric. Although I’d hazard a guess at fully synthetic and fast fashion, but was bought secondhand.), a burnout velvet blue robe with a sort of warm colored floral imagery all over it and fringe (thrifted), and a large plastic amber pendant necklace (thrifted for TEN CENTS CSD 20 yrs ago). I really love finding a new to me piece of clothing that checks a lot of boxes for comfort and style. If you’ve made it this far through my style and secondhand shopping rambling I just want to say this still feels sort of awkward for me to post this sort of stuff here. It’s funny to me because I used to make YouTube videos where I changed on camera and posted almost 6 days a week with photos of my face and body. I am going to consider this a trial period to see if I find a connection here for this stuff. I really appreciate anyone taking the time to listen, as it were, when I talk at length about stuff that is important to me. <3
W E Mack "Cavalcade" No. 2521 c1930s
"Cut by British ex-servicemen"
800 pieces, used and missing two pieces
24 x 18 in approx.
When I saw this vintage jigsaw come up for sale on eBay I was eager to get my hands on it, as it was 'cut by British ex-servicemen' and most likely dates from the 1930s. A rather conventional grid cut, but at 800 pc a larger size than any of the other W E Mack puzzles on the Jigasaurus website, so worth a punt, I thought. The box was in poor condition and two pieces were missing, which probably put others off, but that's never stopped me yet. Luckily the box base is still intact so storage won't be a problem, and the two missing pieces are at the edges where they are less noticeable.
A very enjoyable Monday and Tuesday was spent completing this one.
