Our first stop on a Sunday morning was to this colorful textile center in Kyoto. The second floor was filled with thousands of goodies to purchase and demonstrations in spinning, weaving, painting on fabric, embroidery and other textile arts. Of course, the temari grabbed my eye right away!

This was where I discovered Japanese "happy, happy." That's what I saw in so many places - little items that just made me smile....

I'm smiling looking at these pictures now. I hope you are too!
