Happy 5th! I cannot believe it's been five years! Your support made all the difference. Thank you for loving my creations, visiting me at fairs, and being part of my journey.
The Kibou Anniversary Set represents my love for Japan and sakura, symbolizing life and cherished friendships. I picked up items in the set during my travels to Japan, including the beads, pencils, and pens.
There is also a special shoutout to Fukuoka, my favorite city - I fell in love with its food, sites, and culture when I lived there. I love it because it is still a city without being too busy like Tokyo. Highly recommended if you have never been. Someone please bring back the direct flights! 🙏🏼 My favorite foods include Hakata ramen, Ippudo, Uncle Testu's Japanese Cheesecake, gyoza and the yatai. I love to visit Dazaifu Tenmangu, Fukuoka Tower, Itoshima and Iimori Jinja's Yabusame Demonstration every October 9th. But really any trip to Japan is one I look forward to.
I hope you will love this set as much as I do. Thank you again for helping me get this far. Don’t forget 25% off at emiink.com through Monday! 🥳
