Interesting things on YJA.

Hello everyone :)

I've been a little busy trying to learn how to sew, I'm working on a 1950's inspired dress for a good friends wedding and I'm nearly done!

I haven't been doing any odori programs and my Etsy shop is a bit slow so I thought I'd share some interesting YJA auctions I've found.

In no particular order:

Junior set of Maiko kanzashi featuring sakura and butterflies.
A bit expensive though... And I don't have any spring hikizuri so I hope someone else gets this.
Auction link.

These Katsuno magazine clippings, although I already have them many people seemed to have enjoyed them on my Flickr and I'm sure someone would like to own them.
Auction link.


Next is 8 uchiwa with maiko/geiko names.
Only my Internet is really slow/annoying right now and I can't seem to link the photo.

Hanameishi:

Now I know these have both finished but the seller Yukimi085 has many of them for sale, they also have the miniature tsuamami hana kanzashi that maiko wear with casual kimono and odori programs.

Lastly is this amazing kimono (Sold for 95,000 yen) with palms!
I considered bidding on it for a millisecond before the price sky rocketed!

Thanks for looking, now I'd better get back to my sewing, I only have until Friday to finish it!

More goodies for sale :)

I'm sure most of you are getting bored with me posting only about selling stuff but I am finding new homes for things, so soon I'll take a break from selling.

I sold 7 things last week! That's great!
 I sold the Marumage wig :) that made its way over to Western Australia to its new home.
A few obi I sold to a lady also in Victoria and I even sold an obi to a lady in Bendigo (!) who was giving it to an elderly Japanese friend for Christmas, Awww! I think that's so sweet :)
And a few geta are going over to Westerna Australia as well.

Ok this week I have:

Geta:

*Clear varnish wooden geta with blue and white hanao

*Black painted geta with red hanao

*Plain wooden geta with gold and black hanao.

Kimono:

* Sky blue iro-tomesode with wisteria design

*Pruple komon with hexagon design

* Shiromuko

*Meiji era girls furisode

Obi:

*Red and black hakata obi

*Brown and white stripe with swirl detail

*Ro fukuro obi with water wheel.

Please have a look at them in My eBay :)

In the next few weeks I might start on scanning more odori programs as I'll be receiving them soon.

Hopefully I'll be sharing with you my latest sewing project soon... Its only taken me a week... and two years!
