African fabrics & crafts catching on in the fashion world!

You heard it here first!  So, my fascination with African fabrics is catching on, according to an article in the Washington Post on June 30.  I'm such a trendsetter.  If you check out the slide show associated with the article, picture 11 is my favorite: a lovely stack of fabric--super duper yummy.

Speaking of yummy stacks of fabric, here's a picture we took in Ghana in 2006 at a bus station.  We were fascinated by how everyone could carry stuff (big stuff!) on their heads, so took the photo to show that--but of course I love the fabric, too...I bought 80 lbs there.  If you'd like to see more of our photos from that trip, they are here...and thank you Reocities for reviving our once-dead Geocities site.  Here's an article about carrying stuff on your head & its efficiency (or not).
