Well not me, but the museum.... I think its just great! No maker's name or label, but its pure silk with a hand bound edge.
Oh, I love all the color in the umbrellas as opposed to the lack of color in the women.....just perfect! Cat
Looks like most days in Portland! Rained out of a July picnic just this last Sunday. (I don't mind, though.) Charming print.
The museum is mostly in my basement at the moment... We (Kenn and I, and our board) founded the Fashion History Museum four years ago and this past March we got our charitable status. We are looking for a site to store and exhibit the collection somewhere in the Toronto - Cambridge - Guelph area. The museum collection is separate from my collection, although my collection will become the museum's some day. Our first exhibition and event is August 15 which will hopefully raise visibility and funds for the museum. We do have interest from various parties for locating the museum but nothing definate yet and its up to who makes the best offer of space and funding. However, we have had a lot of artifact donations come in, and some of them have been really good, ranging from an 18th century dressing table to a Versace bondage collection coat. In fact today I am off to see a paper wedding dress and an Edwardian sealskin coat (two different sources)
I LOVE it! I just picked up a skirt in a similar pattern. I'll post it soon! Do you get to wear it?? Vicki
