How Lucky Am I

My week got off to a great start when a package arrived this morning from Japan. Friends living in Osaka sent me seven Kimonos/Haoris from a Japanese version of a car boot sale that takes place in a local temple. These three are the best and needed to be shown. The black one has the most amazing pattern at the bottom which features several Cranes.

This is actually a Haori which is a coat like piece that is worn over a Kimono. The colours are so perfectly me, my friends selected well. I can't wait to create an outfit around this. Event the lining amazing flower pattern, maybe I will wear it inside out
.

Another Haori. I can already think of 100 ways to make use of a this black coat.
