I love this time of year. Tomatoes! As many as you can eat.

And, cooler weather. Thank goodness, I am not a summer person.
Tomatoes arrive and the temperature begins to drop.
The air cools and I feel as though I’m waking up from a long nap.

What better way to celebrate than a box of silks from Japan.

Beautiful kimono silks, you know I love them!

New silks, new projects, cooler weather,… I am Happy!

Are you not quite there yet? Still half awake? Then you absolutely must watch this 4 minute video about the Ushikubi Pongee Silk Factory.
