While reading Arounna’s journal I discovered this wonderful online shop from Tokyo, Linnet. They sell the most beautiful linen fabrics, buttons, ribbons and other products. Linnet was founded by Satoshi and Mayuni Maeda in 2000. 
Linnet is named after the bird that likes to eat seeds of flax, which is the raw material for linen. You can buy the linen by the meter and most linen is handwoven in Japan. I’m sure a lot of you know exactly what to do with these amazing fabrics and garments.
The images Satoshi and Mayoni show bring you in the right mood for sewing and crafting. Here is the link to their website.
