Gifts from a far

I have a friend who lives in Japan but considers Seattle home. Sometime when she comes to visit she brings me things. There is a shop in town that would fascinate me "Bright and bold.....weird and wacky and wonderful.....we'll see what they've got. It's always a hodgepodge of fabrics and antiques and junk. You should have seen the place after the big quake!! Yikes!"
