*handmade, one-of-a-kind art dolls, jewelry, purses,
cuffs, & scarves with an asian aesthetic*
i use to love to play "dress-up". wearing my mom's old dresses,
high heels, and jewelry. old purses filled with forgotten golden
compacts and lace-edged handkerchiefs. on special occasions
i got to see (not touch) her beautiful wedding kimono and all the
beautiful things that went with it . . . hidden in an old suitcase
behind cardboard boxes stacked high. ever since i've wanted to
accumulate "beautiful things" for my own suitcase . . . enjoy.
