I'm glad this subject came up and *thanks* to all for the recommendations. I'm
also going to NYC in July and I'm determined to get to the fabric stores this
time! I went 2x last summer and never did get to indulge in my addiction!! LOL
I will also be going to Detroit for a few days. I'll be close to the DIA,
although I think I read that they are remodeling (or something) and many
exhibits will be closed. Any other suggestions of sights to see (doesn't have
to be costume related!) close to the downtown area? I don't know much about
Detroit -- and I won't have a car for long distance trips.
Thanks!

Subject: [h-cost] NYC recommendations
Speaking of NYC: I'll be heading down there this summer and (obviously!)
need to visit some fabric stores. I used to cruise around Orchard St.
but that was many years ago. This time through I'll have my daughter in
tow and have promised her that we won't spend too much time fabric shopping.
So, long-winded way of asking: can anyone recommend one or two SPECIFIC
stores ( or even a specific block) for:
- good quality lightweight linen
- silks (not dupioni, which is easy enough to find elsewhere) but
especially taffetas or heavier silks suitable for 18th-19th cent
- fine lawns, voiles or cottons suitable for early 19th cent.
And, of course, all at super discounts!!
Thanks.

"But if by 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone
who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the
welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their
jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we
can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies
abroad, if that is what they mean by 'Liberal', then I'm proud to say I'm a
'Liberal'."
