New Paper from Dove of the East

Our shipment from Dove of the East finally arrived from Hong Kong. I can't wait for some more of her paper line when it becomes available. I met Doveen at CHA and she is so full of enthusiasm! These papers are card-stock weight. She also has a line of ribbons that will be coming soon as well.

I was going through some of my photos from the trip to Japan, and wanted to share this picture of a very colorful spider. Kazuko, who was with us, told me it is a Joro Spider, a member of the golden orb-web spider group and is well-favored in Japan. The unusual structure of the web has 3 layers: the central orb, plus 2 irregular layers in front and behind the orb. (from Wikpedia)
