if you like a printed fabrics as I do,these japanese books about Furoshiki are real treasures...so , so inspiring! I've took this,this, this and this one at Junku,japanese bookstore in Paris.There was so much more to buy,but that place became serious threat for my wallet

Oh, they are wonderful... I like furoshiki, but can't find some here in Switzerland. What a shame.

Hope you had a good time in Paris!

I went to Junko last year when in Paris. Would you believe that it was the very first place I ventured to after checking in to my hotel? I only had 4 days in Paris and 1 and 1/2 of those were without my husband so I had to check off my crafty/design tasks straight away.

thanks for sharing.

You think the books about tenugui are tempting? Tenugui shops are the ultimate in temptation!! I wrote a post about them after my trip to Japan this winter. I think you'd enjoy it...

I would like to thank you because your chart colors are very helpful. You are in my favorite for a while and I visit often, I just use one of your combo to redone my website.
