The day before our show, I set up and carefully arranged everything to look its very best.

Ready to go, everything in place, I turned out the lights.

You’ve heard this one? How do you make God laugh?
Tell him your plans.
The next morning,…
Ice! Covering everything!

My fingers crossed that it would melt enough.
And it did, at least off of the streets and sidewalks.

But ice or not, people found their way to the show.
They looked,

And tried things on,

And found things to take home.
Karen checking the fit on a jacket.

A special visitor, Junko in one of her gorgeous kimonos.
She’s showing off her obi.

From the back, can you see? A volcano, space aliens and a tyrannosaurus rex!

Despite a bit of drama,…
We had a wonderful time! Really!
Plenty of friends old and new, lots of laughing and fun.
Next year! We’ll do it a again, only without, you know, ice.
