This is me and Dao, she works in Asia Gallery, her husband Paul owns the shop, who regularly goes to Japan, and their shop is also one of my favourite shops in Wellington besides the fabric stores and the Opshops.
They sell loads and loads and fancy and pretty kimono's and a lot of authenthic Japan vintage items, like silks, kimono's, obi, trinklets from Japan, sewing boxes (which i need to maybe get), Japanese furnitures, fabric swatches, vintage fabrics, stencil for fabric printing, old books, etcs and they also have some Jewellery / Semi-Precious Gemstones from Thailand and some very old costumes from Burma and around Asia, Very Antique. Some of the people who work with Peter Jackson sources their fabrics from Asia Gallery, which is way cool knowing that the possibility of a thing you touch in that shop might appear in Peter Jackson's next movie or the Miramar Productions.
During my stay in Wellington, through this couple, Paul and Dao who owns the Asia Gallery store, I met my Sewing Tutor, Esther Lee. She helped me achieve part of my dreams and guided me through my life in nz, she was a bit of a godmother to me.
Oh how I appreciate all this people who have helped me in my life in Wellington, made it far more easier and I wish I could do something for them in return.
blissfully blessed,
Maz
