LOL. What in the samhell is Bama54 typing about? Bama54 has officially become dumb. Why couldn't the dumb happen when I was bored and waiting for my flight? I'm back home now.

None of you answered my question while I was out having Panhellenic drinks.

Is there Green Book verbiage that sets a time limit for bid acceptance? Just someone open their stupid book and look it up and tell me. Don't make a big I Ate Your Parents Scott Tenorman-level deal out of it.

Do you have any clue how expensive vintage lilly fabric is? not to mention very hard to find? And don't get upset, i'm not being mean, i just know that people have no clue what fabric costs! I really like it but not enough to pay for it and make something of it. however i'd be willing to cut up lilly dresses, etc, if anyone sends them to me. some of those prints are begging for fussy cuts.

And we should all be agreeing on the use of "minority" so there's no more dissenting or misunderstanding.

In other news... *crickets*

Lane swerving back to all things Lilly--

I sew a little bit. It's about $20-$30 a yard on Ebay. I'm going to make some Lilly scrub tops for my friend, one of these days.

About 1969 or '70, back when Lily first closed up shop, some of the fabric appeared in a North Carolina thrift store that regularly got shipments of tony stuff from NYC. Then it popped up here and there in a few fabric stores (back then every town had a fabric store, even small ones).
When Lily reappeared this century, I did a little googling and found out a lot of that fabric had been smuggled out of the factory by the employees! Back then most fabric was produced in North Carolina.
