This is a Kimono that belonged to my Grandmother, Vadis Davis (this was really her name!).  It is circa a long time ago and I was told it came from Hawaii, when it was given to me after she passed away.  Every time I stop and realize that there is something very special about it, I think oh, I know!  It was my Grandmother's...and she loved everything she ever received with such authentic excitement and appreciation...I can feel that love every time I see it. When I put it on, I feel wrapped in that happiness and in those moments, there is no more loving place to be in the entire world than in that Butterfly Kimono! It's always a gift...like my Grandmother will always be.  I love you Grandmother...thank you for knowing me.
