Well, it sure was cold!

In Winterland, that is!

We didn't skate, but we sure shivered in the icy chill that was Winterland at Carriageworks!

By day...

A large notion of thanks goes out to the girls who were in our stall in week One (we believe it was Mechelle and Anny, they of Little Book of Bearded Chaps fame which I wrote about previously..) who kindly left their large white paper pom-poms strung up and helped make our stall look terrific!

...and by night

The vintage kimonos were snapped up in a flash! By pack-up time on Saturday night we had only three left of the twenty we brought to market with us...did you manage to get one?

This one - a 1930s rayon 'juban' (which is to be worn underneath a kimono!), $80 - was one of our very favourites and somehow was one of the three left...we're almost delighted that we get to keep it!! However, if you are interested, send us an email and we will send you all the particulars!

We are expecting another shipment of Kimonos, Haoris and Obis from Japan over the next few weeks, which will all be listed in Ginny & Jude's Emporium, so stay tuned...

These are now on sale in the Emporium...

The gorgeous Harlequin Collars - and yep, that's a posy of violets I procured from the Hamper Store next door!

I thought it was time to part with some of my button collection in a classy way...and aren't these little button cards cute! 

Email me if you have a hankering for one!

Yes, bundled offcuts of kimonos!! FREE with all orders over $100 at the Emporium until October...or to purchase by request.

With the lovely girls from the Hamper Store and Notions as neighbours, and Find Me Keep Me and Roger+Peach not far away, we had a fabulous time!

And yes, we bought ourselves that sexy summer singlet we'd had our eyes on from the adorable Melinda Morrison of Roger+Peach...Have you snapped up one yet? You probably should!

Stay warm!
