Please look for a booth with pink cherry blossoms! 🌸
Thank you for your support throughout the year!
Thank you for visiting my craft fairs throughout the year. I could not have done my fairs without your support. I enjoyed meeting you and getting to know you very much. Please accept my heartfelt thank you.
I will be taking a few months of break from participating in craft fairs until Spring 2023.
Recently, I came across a new type of hotaru glass beads called Kerama Hotaru Beads. They are produced in the Islands of Kerama, Japan. They are multi-colored luminous beads - they are simply breath-takingly gorgeous! These new beads have given me inspirations and I look forward to making new jewelry with them. You will be the first one to see them in Spring 2023.
Until we meet again, please take care.
Wishing you & your family a happy holiday season!
Sincerely yours,
Masako
Stay tuned! I will post my 2023 fair schedule soon.
