2. This Year’s New York Comicon/Anime Fest:

Forgot to ask our New York area fans/customers:  Several folks who came to see us at New York Comicon/Anime Fest last month promised to send us some pictures of themselves in their kimonos (bought from us) or in outfits made using our upcyled kimono fabrics etc.  So far we only have 2 pics and hope to get a few more so we can put them all up together. If you have comments or explanations of any pics, include those also, we’ll post them. You can send them to us via:

(above is not a clickable mailto: link — the better to defeat the spambots). Please put Comicon images attached‘ in the subject of your email.

Thank you!

We’ll be at the NY Anime Fest again this year, as part of New York Comicon 2011 at Javits Center, Mid-Town Manhattan.  We’re loaded up with fresh supplies and look forward to seeing some of you there.  We’ll be in booth 264.   For those going to the event you might check out their web-based show planner at the NY Comicon Web Site.

We will have our vintage kimonos and hand-made accessories and sashes, plus a lot of new things we’ve made especially for this show. If you’re a yokodana.com web site member (or Facebook Fan of YokoDana Kimono) please say hello; and if you shop,  please let us know before check out  in order to take advantage of any web discounts we give at the venue.  Note we will NOT be bringing fabric panels this year.  We hope to see you there.

After considerable delay, the fabrics (by piece/panel) has at last been updated:  Updates on the first and all pages, starting here.  Reminder that all fabrics on the first page (only) are always 50% off.свети георги

Thanks to those who checked in on us after Irene came barreling through Delaware last week. We were merely inconvenienced but many of our Delaware neighbors did not fare so well. Thanks for asking.

We’re prepping for New York Anime Fest (again part of New York Comicon) at Javitz Center in New York City. Details on this, and venues in general, are HERE.  Also, Dana soon (no, really, ‘soon’ this time) will post updates to fabrics pages, hopefully by the weekend.   We’ll post here and Facebook once site is updated. Also, reminder that  Opt-in members always get first notice on site changes, as well as unpublished member discounts from time to time (and of course discounts if they shop with us at a venue).иконииконопис
