"Season's Greetings"

"the Second Snow"

Is this means we are going to have very COLD Winter ?

Even though lovely to have White Christmas, I just wanted to have not tooo Cold Holiday and New Year...

" First Snow "

It has been a warm winter till this week.

But, it's starting to change.

Only a few weeks left to Christmas.

Maybe we need a little snow coming down for Holiday Mood.

"Fall in Italy"

If my memory serves me right,

this the seen in Verona Italy about now.

Looking at Castel Vecchio on the street covered with fallen leaves.

Verona is one of my favorite city in Europe.

"Hello November !"

"Cotton Twill Patchwork Tote"

For the Bazaar I created another style of Tote Bags.

I cut many colors of Cotton Twill into postcard size, and Patchworked.

Two styled Tote Bags are lined with Black Cotton Satin.

These are perfect for every use for the New Season. 

"KINU GASURI Tote Bags"

It is Fall. 

That means The Buddhist Church Upper West Side will be having "Autumn Festival"

It is happening this weekend.  This will be my 5th time to join the event.

I have been making Tote Bags with japanese Textiles.

For this fall I'm using Vintage "KINU-GASURI"  Means Silk Ikat.  I found coordinate Fabrics to make Grocery Bags.  Which is bigger than regular Tote Bags.  I think this style is perfect for Farmers' Market or Supermarket.  Even Though it is Silk Bags it meant to use everydays.

After all Kasuri Textiles are made for casual every day kimono, when it was very popular  in Old Japan.  Hope people will enjoy using them much as I had fun making them. 

"Moving Pictures"

"Brian Friedman & Yanis Marshall Heels"

"TEMARI"

The Collection of Embroidered Silk Sphere

These intricate and extraordinarily beautiful embroidered silk balls are a form of Japanese folk art called "TEMARI" which means hand ball in Japanese.

These particular temaris are even more impressive because they are handmade by 92 years old Japanese grandmother in Japan.
