It's a cloudy day in Japan, but a nice temperature. I'm now working with the last school papers, I feel relieved everything is almost finished. I'm having more time to enjoy my family and going to places where I can take nice pictures. Last night, I tried to take pictures of fireflies, with no success... I miss you all. Love, Yoriko

Are you sure that all these fa brics only cost $1 ??? I would buy the whole store empty and send it home. Nice surprise when I come home :). Glad you have some time now to spend with the family. Have a safe trip home again Yoriko.

Do what we do. Mail it home. I don't know what postage is like there, but when we travel we mail packages home so we don't have to bring it on the flight. Works great.

Yoriko,

I miss fireflies. I grew up in Indiana where we had them nightly. I live in Western Nebraska...not one firefly...ever. Hope you had a wonderful trip to visit family. Love the fabrics.

So good to hear you! Enjoy the family, they grow too fast! I've never had any luck taking firefly pictures either! Our Smokey Mountains have a 2 week period at a certain part of the park where the fireflies blink off and on together! It's something. Gotta walk a bit up to see if, but worth it. LOVE your fabric! What a deal!!

Yoriko, my hubby and I are going to japan for our 3rd time in August can you give me some tips as to where to go for the cheap fabric. I went to several fabric shops when there last time in various towns like Himeji, Nagoya, Kyoto and osaka but all was very expensive, especially all the kimono fabrics stores, any hints would be great, Cheers Ruth

Yoriko, did you think to mail some things back to yourself?
My SIL sent four huge (3' x 3') boxes of her possessions back to Australia from China and it only cost her $10 AUD.
If it was me, I'd mail my clothes back and fill my suitcases with material. LOLOLOLOL!!!!! Especially if they're all as gorgeous as the ones in your photo.

Hope you are making the most of your time with your family, Heaven knows how long it will be before you see them all again. Thinking of you dear friend.
Hugs n much love, Meganne

Oh Gee Karen, what you could be missing out on.

I'm so grateful I had the chance to leave my beautiful Australia and travel. It made me much more patriotic and grateful to live in our wonderful country.
But it also gave me so much to talk about and compare and dream of, and I met so many wonderful people on my trips and tasted so many different phenomenal foods and saw such awesome sites.
If i ever won the lottery I would travel again but I'd make sure I travelled around my home country too.
Hugs n roses, Meganne

Dear Yoriko,
It.s good that you are able to relax a little now. The fabrics are lovely! As you speak of fireflies, I think of your beautiful dragonfly alphabet. Thank you for your art! You are missed here, also.

Yoriko, what a lovely collection of fabric, wish I could get a bargain like that, thanks for sharing with us all. Glad to hear that you are almost done with the paperwork, and can then spend more time with your family. God Bless. Hugs Yvonne

Glad to hear from you! We all miss you! The material is beautiful! I know it is hard but It is good that it is almost finished and you can have some time to spend with your family. You may find out that it is for the best after all. I know it will be alot easier on you living in Australia and trying to keep a business going in another country. In the end we usually find out that things happen for the best. We sure will be glad to have you back home and among us again but hope you enjoy every moment you spend with your family. In the end it is family that really counts! Have a safe trip! Linda in Ga. USA

Yoriko - you're obviously a "Pink" girl. I'm a blue person. Love Chris

Gorgeous fabrics anyway you look at them.

Thank you, Libbie and Chris! It seems we change some 'tastes' time from time. I was a blue girl, but after my granddaughters come along, I became a pink one :) Love,Yoriko
