Autumn is approaching.

August is drawing to a close,

and finally, the mornings and evenings are a little more comfortable.

We participated in many events this summer.

Super Kameya, Oiwake Sunday Morning Market...

Even though I live in Gunma Prefecture, I frequently visit Nagano Prefecture, as it borders Karuizawa City in Nagano.

Karuizawa is cool and wonderful...

Even so, it seems there were many days this summer when temperatures exceeded 30 degrees, but as a Gunma resident, 30 degrees feels quite cool...

Many customers bought our summer-exclusive outlet products, which was a great help to us, and we are most pleased that so many customers enjoyed them.

The one-of-a-kind stuffed animals made by cathy-socktoy, who lives in Takasaki City, using our socks, were incredibly cute and charming, and added a lovely touch to our display.

We do sell them, but since she's a popular artist, she can't make them very often, so every time one sells, I feel a little sad... (lol)

Each face is different and has its own character...

However, this summer was incredibly hot and exhausting.

Working on winter items in the middle of summer is truly sweltering.

But as the cozy autumn items start to appear, they catch the eye and are adorable.

We are gradually uploading them to our online shop.

Please take a look!
