Thanks, I love it. Peacocks and dragons. I have to be very careful with brocade because I’ll buy it with nothing to do with it. I used to be that way with ribbon and had to set a moratorium on buying it. For brocade I’ve managed to restrict to ones that really grab me.

The hobo bag was a good size for walking around Munich – tour books, water bottle, regular pursey stuff, and then any souvenirs. Only once was I told it was too big to count as a purse (for purposes of entry). I looked confusedly at the guard and he just shrugged and said “es ist zu gross.” But the museum was closing in the near future so it wasn’t worth checking it.

I’m glad you hung the lilies up (they’re in the stairwell, right?). I agree that they came out really well.

That hobo bag is really pretty. Love the fabric.
