From beginning to end....My #allbymyselfie...My daughter was absent Sunday, busy working for real money not 'kimonos and cake'! 
We had some lovely visitors...not all of whom bought anything but I always enjoy showing all the aspects of these gorgeous delights! Nonetheless it was a fruitfull day!

So....to be honest, we've abandoned the website for a bit...far too much to do to update anything at all. Anyone who knows me knows that I have a primary career designing for a manufacturer of ladies outerwear, swimwear, separates and knitwear...and menswear....and kidswear!
That's why not much happens here at the moment. The Facebook page and the Instagram account is really where it's at.
However, we're thinking of changing the way some items are sold and may log some short kimonos for instant sale. WATCH THIS SPACE!

Here we are again! New Year - New vintage season! Anticipating the onslaught of customers!
Romany was going for the 70s sports vibe with her matching red kimono and I was wearing my old faithful Westernised firework/chrysanthemum number. Both of us feeling fab!
​Below are some of our wonderful customers...some not quite ready to buy; some newbies, buying on the spot; a young lady who was doing a project on kimonos at school (killing it with the sparkly Converse I might add!) and some returning with new blood in tow!!!
