You Know What, Making Kanzashi Bouquets Are Soooo Much Fun.

You know what, making kanzashi bouquets are soooo much fun.

I do love yukata with big flower designs.  I think it is the retro feel of them but then again the design on the right is something I would love to own.  It has a nice abstract look.

One can not be a keen kimono collector without having an obsession for accessories as well.  Since it is yukata season soon I am looking at cute little basket bags.
