New Year's greetings
Thank you as always.
After a hectic end of the year, before I knew it, it felt like, "Oh, it's 2026 already."
This year, I will continue to handle each task with care.
And provide everyone with even better items.
I would be grateful if you could share lots of your feedback.
Thank you very much for your numerous purchases of the lucky bags.
It seems that those who regularly use our socks gradually lose theirこだわり (pickiness/preference) for colors (lol).
"As long as they're warm, any color will do!"
For such people, the bargain lucky bags are perfect! Thank you so much.
I was able to spend the New Year holidays with my family.
We went to the zoo, enjoyed a rare meal out, celebrated my husband's birthday (which is at the end of the year), and had a relaxing yet fulfilling holiday.
Due to the nature of my job, December is always incredibly busy, so I'm relieved to have successfully made it through!
Last year, I was able to open my long-cherished shop, but since I'm busy with shipping on weekdays, the shop hasn't been open. While I question what kind of shop it is, I tell myself I just have to do what I can.
I want to listen carefully to each customer who comes seeking warm socks, and I feel like I'm gradually getting better at that, which makes me glad I have a shop.
The Ikaho shop had its first sale on the 4th.
This month, it will be open on the 12th (holiday) and the 18th (Sunday).
It was also scheduled to open on the 25th, but I decided to close it because of a farewell ceremony for my esteemed mentor who passed away suddenly at the end of last year.
Starting from the 8th, we will have a pop-up sale at the wonderful old folk house gallery "Asahido" in Higashiagatsuma Town. I'm really looking forward to it.
(Our socks will be displayed on this lovely stand, tee hee)
And from January 15th to 18th, there will be a sale at Atelier Hiro in Annaka City. We plan to prepare mini lucky bags!
