My first year marriage anniversary is coming up really soon... And Philip got me a new kimono I had my eye on. This one was given the rather elven-sounding name of 'Shadowed Leaves.' It had been well out of my personal price range, so despite how much it had continued to grow on me, I never would have gotten it for myself. I think that makes it a particularly nice anniversary gift. That and I really can't imagine finding an Autumn motif kimono that I would like that much more or that would go as well with the accessories I already have. I've seen enough kimonos to know that one like this doesn't come along very often. (And of course, nothing says that I can't get more Autumn kimonos if I find some I really like in Kyoto.)
