Year of the Monkey

Happy New Year, friends and family :) I'm more of a Christmas girl myself, so may the Lord bless you and keep you in this new year also, with blessings and divine inspiration and serendipity. 

 The monkey dolls are made by Akiko Hirohara using antique kimono fabrics. She is so gifted! Her monkey faces are just so perfect! What a great way to start the year, with art and setters. Nobu ate the camellias while I was taking the pictures...so here they are in all their glory before I started out...
