Oh that will be a different experience! I spent some time there a few years back. It’s a bit like Hawaii- more casual and tropical.

I’m glad you got that necklace, BWeaves! It has a playful style and colors. I knew my Traveling Bunnies were from Japan, but how fun to stumble across its origins. They are a handicraft of Kyoto and I was right at the source. Every time I travel through Japan, I learn more about the regional...

Wait WHAT?!?! Bunnies and Bunnies and Bunnies… how could I not choose new friends from Kyoto… View of the harbor from our room in Kobe.

I was photobombed today by a character posing like Bunny And it wasn’t just one! Bunny was too busy enjoying the snacks. Note the cute deer on the paper wrapper. We are on Miyajima Island where the deer are plentiful and roam freely. They follow you like little dogs and especially are...

BWeaves, the Ruckus workshop was with Sheri Jurnecka. Do you also have the ring we made the year before? Both were fun projects. That planet Berna is just perfect for you! Pearlgully, your Tahitian keshi necklace and earrings look so great on you! We are traveling in Japan and visited the...

Thanks, BWeaves! BWeaves and Pearl Dreams, your pearls remind me to dig through my stash and pull out some oldies. I often forget about some of my favorite old pieces. A strand of baroque blue Akoya from Takahashi, tiny SS studs from a PP/Takahashi live event, and an Akoya tin cup and jackets...

Rikitea Tahitians from Cees, cherry Tahitian studs from a PP Live event, and a necklace and bracelet I wrapped with tiny keshi.

A wonderful recap of our trip!

I like the shapes of the pearls on your new earrings, BWeaves. A vintage jade fish with Kasumi pearl pendant from Kojima, worn on a chain I wrapped with tiny Akoya keshi from Takahashi. The keshi and tourmaline earrings are from Kojima and Sarah found the Akoya strand from a vendor in Tucson. I...

It’s a great mix, BWeaves! I like all the colors. Tahitian keshis- a necklace from Alex Collins with earrings and two smaller necklaces I put together.

Thanks BWeaves! I love that dangly Akoya necklace! Merrily… that cat…!!!! Also love your new pendants! Great statement pieces, Syrie! Those two strands look so pretty together, Pearl Dreams! Feather pearl and carved flower earrings from Kojima, a large feather pearl pendant from Fuji at...

Perfect for Valentine’s Day, SurfnSci! Hope you celebrated in your pearls. Cool and edgy looks for both of you, eolian and Pomelo! Love those colors, BWeaves! My newest Japan Kasumi necklace with Kasumi drop earrings and another new necklace from Kojima- vintage Akoya with a FW and tourmaline...

Loving all the pearls- SurfnSci, BWeaves, Syrie, Merrily, everyone! I am behind on this thread… Just starting to unpack from my Tucson trip. I brought several goodies home with me and will slowly get to the pics. First, is a new strand of Japan Kasumi pearls from Kojima. Worn with Kasumi studs...

I’ve been hanging out in the Pacific Pearls/Kojima Booth in Tucson all week! So fun to play with all the loose pearls and strands from Pacific Pearls and some fun new pendants from Kojima Pearls.

Two strands of fancy colored T’s from Kojima, with pistachio T dangles I wrapped.
