Soon...

Soon.  Soon, I keep telling myself life will slow down a little and I can stop to smell the roses.  Luckily, I think that soon is getting rather close.

I had a great time down in Melbourne for Life Instyle and have lots of photos to share with you... soon.  Orders are going out the door, off to stockists around Australia and it's just wonderful knowing that my work is finding new homes.

But even sooner... this one in a couple of days, in an effort to find my dear vintage kimono fabric and Japanese prints new homes before I move off to a new home myself, I'm destashing at the Fabric-a-brac market on Saturday at the State Library.  Friday is my sorting and packing day so I dare say I'll be bombarding Facebook and Instagram with sneak peeks of pieces that I'm taking along.

There is so much more to catch you up on, and I will do that soon, I promise.

Finding and Keeping

I can't begin to tell you what a fabulous time I had at Finders Keepers this weekend!  

It was so much fun meeting so many new people, watching the fashions, catching up with old friends, shopping and eating yummy macaroons.  I had been really nervous before it began, but was so chuffed with the response to my new-look table, new packaging and new collection.  Thank you again to everyone that came by and especially to all the lovely people that adopted some kimono reincarnate goodies.  I love when they go to good homes.

I never did get around to taking photos, but Rachael from Penelope and Pip has the most beautiful ones on her blog that really make you feel like you were there.

I got to sneak out from the table for a little while and do some shopping.  Most I can't show you as they've gone into the Christmas present box, but I did pick up this fabulous tote bag by TMOD for myself.

I now have another very busy week ahead of me as I prepare for a mid-week workshop and then for the BrisStyle Eco Market this Saturday.  That market will be a very different one for me as it's my big kimono fabric / Japanese cottons destash / seconds sale.  I'll try to pop up some teaser photos during the week...

Kimono and Fabric Sale

A few weeks to go, but I'm getting very excited about the upcoming brisStyle Eco market!

I'll have a few of my usual pieces there, some vintage fabric kanzashi, some fabric cranes, but at this market, I get a chance to let some other people play with the gorgeous vintage kimono textiles I use. I'll be having a large sale of some of my kimono and obi collection as well as many, many fabrics from them.

Over the next few weeks, I'll pop up some photos of some of the pieces that will be there. Well I'd best get back to my unpicker now!
