What a beautiful day in the neighborhood! Hope your day was as brilliant as mine with glorious breezes and beautiful sun.
Our Inspiration co-hosts this week sent us on a quick trip only a few blocks from Trafalgar Square called Temperley Square couture. I must admit two things: The first is I had sticker shock at their prices and secondly, I've never seen anyone wear anything remotely close to those designs. Guess that makes a huge statement: I'm not rotten rich nor does money grow on my trees.
Anyway, once I wiped the sweat off my brow from sticker shock, I did happen upon something I am enthralled with on a too-often basis. Kimonos just seem to have my name written all over them for some reason. Here's where today's inspiration came from: http://www.temperleylondon.com/shop/...black-mix.html
I didn't care for the black design, so I opted for a lighter color, aqua.
I'm saddened my spouse is not a huge capital venture whiz because I sure would love to spend that kind of money on something a little more appropriate for this down home kind of stamper.
Enjoy your Saturday evening. Thanks Stef and Audrie for the fun challenge.

This is very pretty, I love the teal textured background with the gold sticker and, of course, the beautifully colored geisha with the pearl string. Lovely.

Stunning. I love the colors and the coloring is awesome. I really like the image. You do Asian so well. You are inspiring me. When I can get to my Asian stamps I am going to use them. Lol. While I hubby was stationed in Korea I bought a ton of Asian to send him cards. I'll have to dust them off one day.
