August hangover
I suppose in some ways I’m really ready for summer to end. The heat, the dreary day after day boredom, trying to get work done when it’s too hot to think and there’s no one to talk to except the kids and they’re fighting again… yeah, I’m ready for school to start. We had a…
Getting busy…
Here’s the flyer I just finished for the upcoming fashion show on July 17 at Between The Covers bookstore in Bend, Oregon. See you there!
Don’t forget the Giveaway!
Tomorrow is the day for drawing the winner of the $10 gift certificate for the July giveaway. If you want to be in on it, post anywhere on this blog between now and midnight (Pacific time) Tuesday night, July 8, 2008. This is the last giveaway until September as I’ll be taking some time off…
An apology and an explaination
Here’s an apology to all of those who have emailed special orders, been waiting for a package to ship from me, or even just a reply to an email sent in the past week. There have been a few downturns in the ever spinning world of kimono life here at Chez Kimono, and I’ve been…
For a good cause – AIDS Walk ’08
A friend of mine will be walking in the San Francisco AIDS Walk on July 20, 2008. Since I can’t be there myself, I will donate 50% of the sale of these scarves to sponsor him. I’ll be busy fringing more this weekend, but here are the first two to get you thinking about cool…
Upcoming events for July
For those of you in Oregon or planning a trip to Oregon in July, lucky, lucky you! I’ll be doing two events in July where you will have the opportunity to try on a kimono, have your own appraised, or buy yourself a beautiful vintage one and learn how to wear it. The first event…
Website woes
I’m driving myself ever so slightly round the bend trying to redo the KimonoMomo website on my own and have no idea when it will be finished. If I become totally baffled, I’ll be giving Cheri at Red Lime web design a call and get this site sorted. Her rates are very reasonable, but I’ve…
Free Fiber Giveaway for July
I’ll admit it, I’ve been at a total loss as to what to offer for July’s giveaway. I’ve avoided posting, felt guilty and foolish (not to mention unprepared), and finally came to the conclusion that I should simply offer a gift certificate for $10 good for anything in my Etsy shop. The winner will be…
Oh no!
I got so caught up in my children’s last day of school and need to clean the studio that I completely forgot to photograph the giveaway for July. Mia culpa. The June giveaway winner has been randomly picked (courtesy of random.org) and I am waiting to hear back from her before I announce her name….
Phew!
Phase One of the KimonoMomo website overhaul as begun. If you notice any bad links, odd bugs or just have some feedback on the new look, please leave a post to let me know or drop me an email at carol [at] kimonomomo [dot] com. I have had many requests for kimono, obi and accessories,…
Happy Monday, readers
It’s almost Free Fiber Giveaway time! At midnight on Tuesday, June 10 I’ll be picking a random name from those of you who have left a reply anywhere on this blog in the past month. WordPress sorts them by date so I don’t have to search through posts trying to find them. Clever, eh? I’m…
A love for both the common fiber and the extraordinary textile @KimonoMomo
