You need to take videos of those boomerangs in action -- I desperately want to see that swallow in flight! And oh, those prints from PZB and rumi and PR, so pretty...and the dolls! I was always so envious as a little girl of all the family friends who had pretty Girls' Day and Boys' Day dolls.
And I've never been able to touch watercolors without ending up with a huge splotchy mess, so your old stuff is really impressing me too.
If the Mother's Day Fairy doesn't come through for you on the kite -- would a Boy's Day koi noburi windsock be close enough? Ginza in DC usually has a good selection of them in all sorts of sizes and colors. (Also tons of ceramics and kitchenware, tansu that will break your heart, and all sorts of cute tchotchkies including a squillion different adorable maneki neko.) I'm going to be making a trip down there soonish so if there's anything you want me to look for/pick up for you, just holler.
