Non-Pinky Doll Post 1

A little while ago I mentioned that it was Girls' Day (Hina Matsuri) in Japan. If you don't know and don't feel like clicking the 'back' link here, this is a holiday that is celebrated by displaying a special set of dolls. Well, on monday I was somewhat surprised to be walking by an antique store (on my way to get a sandwich at Hi-Rise Bakery - yum!) and see a set of Hina Matsuri dolls in the window! The store was closed, so I just took their picture through the window. Which... actually was all I would've been able to do even if the store was open. The little note (that you can't really read in the photo) said the set was being sold for $750!!! Ouch!




I have no idea why this picture is coming out sideways (it wasn't taken sideways, and it doesn't display sideways anywhere else!) and I don't know how to fix it therefore either. Sorry!
