Some Japanese craft books that I was lucky enough to be included in!
It was just incredible today to walk into Libro Shibuya, Sanseido Shimokitazawa and Shimokitazawa Village Vanguard and see our new wrapping book sitting next to another book I'm on the cover of! This book was on the shelves too! It was such an honour, too, to be on the same shelves as my lovely and amazingly talented friends Udagawa-san, Killigraph-san and Yuzuko-san! You will love Yuzuko-san's new embroidery book too! It's the one on the right with the little smiley face. It's amazing!
Congratulations!! This is such a great thing to see!

Congratulations! That must have been a big thrill. Village Vanguard is one of my favourite stores to visit in Japan.
