The Cannibal Bonbon

The Brown Sweater

I was on the hunt for a brown sweater for so long, and then I found this one on etsy. It was more modern than I like (I think '70's) but it was in bouclé so I bought it. I'm not sure if I was already thinking of changing the buttons or if that idea came to me when I received the cartigan. I got kind of obsessed with buttons and I bought all three colors, which I thought would look good on brown. Yellow, red or green? I finally decided on the green.

These photos were taken the day we left Kyoto.

Shopping in Japan

I thought I would start the Japan posts by photos of what I bought. We started this tradition last time. it's fun at the end of the day to lay the day's treasures out on the bed for documentation.

Sourpuss Samples Giveaway

So here's what Sourpuss Clothing did with the images I illustrated. So far they haven't done anything with the cat (many a reader's favorite) or the teapot. I always find it a little strange to see what is done with my art after I send it off. Sometimes I wish I was a little more involved with the design process. These turned out pretty cute. let me know what you think.

So if you would like to win one of the items below please leave a comment. The dresses and t-shirts are size medium. Only comments marked I'm a medium or I want to win for someone who is a medium will be eligible for the clothing. Everyone is eligible for the purses. I will pull names on the 8th of February. There will also be a giveaway for the new Yujean products very soon, stay tuned!
