So what was in my Yamatoku Bundle of Doom
Blue green haori with kiku embroidery. Very nice and has a pretty animal patterned lining.
Next one is an unmade obi. The base is navy blue, which is not shown properly in the image.
This nagoya is very small. I mean, really small! I'm not sure if I can wear this properly because of the lenght. Also the pattern runs a bit funny, so I'm in the belief that this has been a kimono once and has been remade into an obi.
Grey patterned obi. Might be a fukuro. I still need to measure it.
Red and black komon. Quite small, needs adjusting for comfortable wear, but for hime style it's working.
Men's juban with tiger and dragon pattern. I offered this to fiancé but he said he was not impressed with the pattern. If this was women's, I'd wear it to bits.
Pink komon. Has a shiny quality to it. Fit is ok.
Girl's furisode. I'm guessing age 13 as it's quite long and does not have tucks. Has stains, but othervice in wearable condition.
Another komon. I was not impressed with this one, might put it up for trade.
This lightweight summer komon was hiding under another kimono and I fell head over heels for it. Rather short, but I'm in love.
A very busy patterned komon. It was not easy to look at this as I have a headache. Quite new as it has modern clothing tag attached. Which is funny as the kimono in itself is very short. I might have to take a peak into the lining to see if there's fabric to add more lenght.
So that was my 10 haul. I'm quite happy with my catch... Now to find time for wearing....

New things arriving
I haven't been kimono shopping in what feels for ages! I even bid in an auction, and won!
The first one has dirt spots, but I'm hoping they won't be so prominent in the actual garment.
And I got another white based odori kimono. I seem to have a thing for these. For my next trick I might try getting more people into kimono, dress them in all of my odori kimonos and take a group photo. Oh, it would be wonderful! I just need a few more juban and dressing accessories.
Images are from the sellers auctions.
