Rummage at Waltham, MA

Moody St. in Waltham is a good place for antique/vintage shopping.

It was last year for the first time I visited an antique store, Downstairs at Felton Antiques. They have a lot of jewelries, teacups, crystal glasses etc. A fun place to spend some time.

I bought 2 teacups and one Christmas wreath brooch.

These teacup are all Aynsley England. I researched about their logo also their current website, and found out that the yellow one is a modern one, but still beautiful and it was a good price. 

This is my only one (so far) and the best Christmas brooch! It is so cute and detailed. I bought this one in last November, and truly enjoyed for a month till the Christmas ended ;)

The size is not baggy like modern juban, so it actually fits pretty well.

With one of my favorite haori: I love tachibana motifs!!

I don’t think people won’t be happy about me being outside in juban, but the color ensemble is lovely. I love the color of antique kimono.

The haori is also from Hyotan-ya in Osaka.

I made nibushiki-juban from my vintage beautiful silk juban by myself.I bought this juban from Hyota

I made nibushiki-juban from my vintage beautiful silk juban by myself.


I bought this juban from Hyotan-ya, which is an antique/vintage kimono store in Osaka (I’m sad that the store is not open right now, hopefully the owner will start his business again soon!), almost 10 years ago… !!

This is actually my first juban, but it is difficult to wear antique kimono because they are a little too small, or the fabric is worn out and if you pull the fabric too hard, it would break off.

Anyway, I didn’t wan’t to ruin it, and had kept it like a treasure for a long time. But now I’m confident enough to wear them and it is actually in a very good condition than I thought.

But the problem was, as usual, it was short. So I decided to make nibushiki-juban out of it.

I always wear nibushiki-juban, because it is easy to wear, easy to shape the emon nicely.

image

First, cut it in 2 pieces! Be bold and just cut it!!

image

It’s better to have the edge a little bit longer so you can sew it up.

Like this.

The bottom part. I searched and referred on the Internet and found some nice instructions to make juban.

色のあるくらし ←The blog has a lot of recipe to make kimono stuff!! Very cool ;)


I love anqitue/vintage kimono, but the size had been always an issue, but now juban, I will be able to buy anything with this technique. It is so exiting!!
