During lockdown we.....

28/9/2020

As you may have guessed, there have been no live vintage fairs to report on since March so when we moved to virtual fairs I decided that I would maintain the tradition of the #allbymyselfie that I always did in the absence of my 'wing-man', my lovely daughter Romany, at any of the fairs I did on my own.
Here are the photos all together. My seasons faves were the bright red crane juban and the 1930s pink with red and black....very optimistic colours!
Let's hope I can give these newest items in my personal wardrobe a good outing before Xmas!

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!
