I am one lucky blogger, I tell you what. And I have the most talented and generous friends.
Yesterday afternoon, I got something absolutely beautiful in the mail. Feast your eyes on the fabulous clutch sent to me by the blogger known as The Ardent Thread.
Carol, the brilliant artist who creates these magical pieces has her first trunk show on February 9th in Concorde, California. I'm sad to say I won't be there, but you can find more information at Kimonomomo.com.
Thank you, Carol, for thinking of me. This clutch is beautiful! And I'm honored to be a recipient of your beautiful artistry.
(The photos here don't do the clutch justice. Look here for more pix and order info.)
Isn't it gorgeous?
Beautiful, indeed.
ReplyDeleteGood luck keeping it away from your daughter, the Swiss Movie star. :-)
You're turning Japanese, I really think so.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. I love them.
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty! Lucky you to own it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she'll do well. It's lovely.
ReplyDeleteoh this is so pretty! I am wondering if you are meaning concord, which his about 30 min. from me? probably...I am going online to see more.
ReplyDeleteso lovely, thank you for sharing it and good luck not sharing it with lovely daughter!
Now all you need is a little black dress, some strappy gold heels and your honey to take you out dancing!
ReplyDeleteWow! Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love all things Japanese: the textiles and clutch are beautiful. I hope you enjoy this link. The artist is Hiroshige, and his prints are commonly used in textiles.
ReplyDeleteNot much to add. It's gorgeous. It reminds me of a book I own called Omiyage of gorgeous little Japanese gifts to make. I've also been ogling a book about Japanese quilt squares. Love those textiles.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and so nice. I used to sell car seat covers at the flea market in Concord. Now I am homesick again!
ReplyDeleteThis should be framed and hung in the Louvre!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely clutch~ Surprises like this really do get you through don't they?! :))
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the clutch arrived safely. It seemed like you could use something pretty right about now.
ReplyDeleteYep, we'll be in Concord, CA. Come on over, the weather is beautiful. The fabrics are, too. We'll be serving sake' and tea while I get to talk about my favorite subject for a few hours. It'll be grand.
I want to get free shit from strangers!
