| This is the Fushima-Inari shrine in Kyoto which my son took us to- it winds all the way up the mountain with 4000 of these torii gates. We took a cable car up the mountain from a spa resort at Hakone to view Mount Fuji- apparently there are only about 8 days a year when the mountain can be seen without cloud! we were so fortunate to see it in its entirety!This brought a tear to my eye! |
Cherry blossom up close and personal!
A wedding picture- so many couples get married amongst the blossom- it is the most popular time of the year.
An now, you are all wondering what fabrics I bought.............
Wait no longer- amd I want ideas on how to use them!!
 |
| This is an oilcloth from Cosmo- big enough for a table cloth or maybe cut up for bags?? |
 |
| My favourite echino range- about a third cheaper than here but still pricey! |
 |
| Wonderful susuko koseki fabrics- some for my daughter. |
 |
| some Kokka fabrics, at £3 per metre!! |
 |
| A few fat eighths that I couldnt resist! Next time- a few bits and bobs that I bought in Japan, including a little bit of Hello Kitty !! H.xx |
Glad you had a wonderful time seeing your son and the sights.Especially pleased you got to see the blossom celebrations!
ReplyDeleteLoving all the fabric too.
Your trip sounds amazing! Love those fabrics you got - my favourite is the little pale green with the fish on it at the bottom there. Sounds like you got some bargains! xCathy
