Geisha, Matcha, and Kimono. Oh my!

Three little piggies celebrating the Year of the Boar. 🐖💕🍵

Had a great time with the ladies at the July Kimono de Jack Washington, DC meet up. 👘 Thank heavens the extreme heat we've been having let up for a brief day! 🌞🔥😓

It was Washington, DC Sakura Matsuri weekend and brother was it hot! Had to ditch the lined kimono and break out an unlined, tsumugi kimono with large woven flowers. 🌸 Paired it with an olive-green han-eri and heko obi. The charm is a stuffed chirman bunny. 🐰

Happy Easter! 🐰 🌸 🌞

I just love K9s so much that I can’t seem to get enough of them during the Year of the Dog. 😆 I was even born in a YOD. Here is a kobukusa by famous weaver Kitamura Tak Shinsaibashi with adorable dogs creating piles of puppies. I’ve had this awhile and have been waiting for a chance to break it out!

Breaking out my puppy dog 🐶 chawan / tea bowl that has a cute little illustration of a dog that reminds me of my fluff ball, Miss Calhoun.

My New Years matcha just arrived from Japan with a cute little graphic for the Year of the Dog. It is wakamatsu-no-mukashi which is one of my favorite teas from Ippodo Tea. They have stores in Kyoto, Tokyo, and New York. Can’t wait to have a bowl. 🐶🍵💕

Yukiwa / snow crystal kimono, cute snowman obidome and my new Tatsumura Textile hanhaba obi! I was so excited to get a chance to wear the obi. Love the pine needle pattern and it tied like a dream. 🌲❄️👘⛄️😊 @tatsumura2

Cooking for the first time in kimono. 😁 Hubby was going to cook breakfast for me after I dressed for our Kimono de Jack DC outing. I got dressed and he woke up with a painful ankle. So here I am heading into the kitchen…🍳

Happy New Year! 🎉✨🐔💕 I love his cranky face. I call it my angry chicken tea bowl. Like he was disgruntled that someone dare to paint his portrait. Lol

Merry Christmas to all our fur-friends and friends around the world! 🌲⛄️💕✨ #rottweiler #rott
