Charity Craft Show in Yokohama

By

craft show decoration copyThis weekend, I visited my friend, Taren of Oslo and Alfred at the Charity Craft Show in Yokohama. Taren is an American illustrator based in Tokyo, and she and I collaborated to make the feather print dress for my SS13 collection. It was held at a place called Imperial Gallery in Motomachi, Chukagai, which means Yokohama China town. Taren and other crafters hosted a show on October 19th and 20th, 2013 and part of their revenue will go toward the people in Northern Japan, where a lot of damage occurred during the earth quake. craft show jewelry

Pretty vintage-inspired jewelry. I picked one up for myself (the necklace on the far left).halloween decor jewlery at craft show nathanLive music (classical guitar)  outside of the gallery by Nathan, Taren’s husband!
