FYI: Cambodian silk sale at the Freer (DC)

[Edit: The Freer is in DC, sorry for not mentioning it originally.]

Coming to the Freer and Sackler Galleries

Trunk Sale of Cambodian Silk Textiles! (http://www.freersacklershop.com/bediandre.html)
November 1, 12pm-5pm
November 2 and 3, 10am-5pm
Freer Conference Room

Join us for a trunk sale featuring authentic Cambodian silk fabrics made by craftspeople of the Institute for Khmer Traditional Textiles (IKTT).

IKTT is a non-profit organization dedicated to the revival and diffusion of Khmer traditional textiles. In doing so, it also creates a means for artists to support themselves while preserving village traditions.

These exquisite silks are available in the United States only at the Sackler Gallery and the Trunk Sale.

In addition, be sure not to miss the accompanying lecture entitled, "Reviving Silk Textile Traditions in Cambodia" (http://www.asia.si.edu/events/lectures.asp) on November 1 at 12pm in the Meyer Auditorium.

yummy, yummy, yummy. I adore textile art. Alas, I have no plans to be in DC next week. (Though I am thinking I may plan a trip for spring, so if you have things on a longer event horizon, do let me know.)

Heh, you apparently are under the mistaken impression that I can make plans more than a week in advance. *grin* (So no, I have nothing interesting on my calendar for spring as of yet.)

I wasn't assuming you could, merely that if you *did*, please keep me in the loop. My expectation is that I'll be in town when the Expos are in town, ideally at a time that the O's are around as well. And, of course, you, abenn and delanybird.

Will certainly try to do that, but you will probably have to remind me periodically. =)

oh, we could always count on our mutual sweetie worrying how many days it will be until we (gasp!) leave him for each other.
