What a stunner!

I've just added this little stunner to my Etsy store. It's a blossom design made out of a gorgeous obi fabric in shades of black, blue, terracotta and gold.

I decided to match the lining to the blue of the blossom on the outside of the bag.

You can find it in my store here.

I was very lucky to be given the fabric as a gift. It was given to me by a lovely old Japanese couple who have a stall next to me at the annual International Bazaar at the Tokyo American Club. They sell modern kokeshi dolls and I bought this little Japanese fella from them last year.

I call him matsuri (festival) man and I think he's so sweet!
