Both the doll and the vase were a gift from Japan, however 30 years separates the two gifts. The doll given to me so long ago - and the vase last year on one of my sister-in-laws trips to Japan. The flowers are from my garden - at least this year has suited the Dahlia's. The dahlia's were also given to me by a friend - who had got the bulbs from another friend. It is quite lovely how people are so nice to one another.
This is such a peaceful shot- I could see it on display somewhere in a Japanese restaurant. And I like that all its components have a special connection to you. Beautiful black and white!
