My beau gave me a rose—leftover from a Valentine's Day flower-and-candy sale fundraiser.
He makes me smile.
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.
This piece was rolled up and tied when I bought it so I didn't find this fabric on the inside until I got it home and opened it up to wash it and found that it was a tied baby quilt sort of thing. Very heavy and stiff for a baby quilt so it doesn't look like it was ever used.
So many books!

Thrifted this fall in Wyoming. He was in the 25 cent bin but the nice woman behind the counter slipped it in my bag for free.
While I'm away at the sewing machine I'll continue posting pictures from out trip to Norway this summer/fall, OK?
