Into the Rising Sun

New arrivals - we have tabi and geta!!!! Otherwise known as Japanese socks and wooden clogs. Come see us early at NDK and get first choice. We have both nylon tabi socks and authentic cotton tabi. And if you haven't seen our new kimono and yukata - made in Japan - you really need to come try one on. They are made of wonderfully soft fabrics with traditional prints. Not to mention I have been sewing up some scrumptious fabrics into kimono.

Fans - fans - fans - biggest selection of fans for all price ranges that we have ever had! And 6 kinds of parasols. We currently have an excellent selection of Kommando Kilts (yes, ALL men should wear kilts and I can help you with that) and both knee-high and thigh-high boots (mmm black leather, nice). I have also restocked our licensed Harry Potter items - hats, scarves, ties, goggles, eyes and more - to go with some robes I whipped up.

Watch this space for mail-order specials in December and January !
Sadly to report, none of my photos from Kumoricon are redeemable. The Dealers' room was in the parking garage and the lighting and flash just did not work. As compensation, here are the photos of my Utah client who demonstrates why you might need more than one of my corsets. In spite of heat and a few glitches, Kumoricon went well and we stayed busy. My favorite Sean (that same old Mom's prerogative) came and helped and several people I met last year also helped during breaks and meals. Thanks y'all!!. Sean and Scott again did a record load out and voila - back home again.

Not much time at home and life has been fraught with complications. Against all odds, the sewing machines are running at high speed and the trailer is reloaded for the next 4 weeks. 4 weeks, 4 cities, 4 events. Wow. Whose idea was this anyway? I am now counting down the hours and checking my list twice, or thrice, or more, before driving into the rising sun this week. NanDesuKan and Denver - here I come! Highlight for September - SPAMALOT! If you are there on opening night, Tuesday, look for me with the large group of boomers being silly. And yes, as a matter of fact I can walk that way.

Come try on clothes with me soon,
Jane
