But who can pass up the lovely silks: Italian, Japanese,Chinese, etc. you can find cloth from every country almost. Some I have opened up and used the silk in other projects, one doesn't have to keep it in the tie form, as many other people seem to do,it's just beautiful cloth. I also have some great woven, wool, as well as hand painted ones. If one looks at "Good Will" they can find treasures like this for only a dollar.I love my ties!!helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00281502711087571516noreply@blogger.com
