Hina Matsuri!
It’s Hina Matsuri, and here is my display! I have a few more things in my Hina collection for this year, including a solar bobble doll set, a beautiful cotton scarf that is hanging as the background, candy from a trip to Mitsuwa in Arlington Heights, and my weekly quilt from my Japanese Doll series. The center item on the platform is sugar candy.

I still have my kimono Hello Kitty doll, but she’s not in the picture. I bought some hina-arare but I ate it already. There some more hina snacks in the plastic bag on the left of the picture I saved to the actual day. My DH has become quite enamored with the mochi cakes in the fridge I bought, so let’s hope they last until tonight!
The next festival is Hanami, or cherry blossom viewing. It’s far too cold here yet for that, we still have snow. But it would be a welcome to spring!
