This little store sells textiles in the city of Oaxaca Mexico. The two cloth panels beside the door are made from pieces of Guatemalan cloth. Inside you can see a few Zapotec huipils from the Istmo of Tehuantepec. But mostly what this place sells are purses and handbags made from cutting up the pretty Istmo huipils, a shame

The Mexican textile variety shows the country's cultural diversity. The different materials, looms, weaving techniques, embroidery styles and colors used in Mexican textiles come from the combination of the Mesoamerican and Spanish cultures with some oriental influences. #absolutelatinamerica #mexico #travelphotography #travel #textiles #lovetravel #souvenir #colour #happiness
Bur Dubai is across the Dubai Creek from Al Ras and is home to the textile market, which has everything from elaborate fabrics to cheap T-shirts. I arrived here just before 4 PM, which is when many of the shops reopen after their staff goes to a mosque for afternoon prayers.

There was a woman in the shop at the same time, and she bought the beautiful one on the right. I wish I could have taken a better picture. It was a beautiful piece with a small resistance dye pattern.

Averys, Smiths, Harrises
and the Town of East Lyme
The Smith-Harris House is an excellent example of a Greek Revival house, a style found throughout New England and the Midwest between 1820 and 1860.
For 110 years, the house was owned by members of the Avery and Smith families, all of whom were descendants of Christopher Avery and Nehemiah Smith, early settlers of Groton, Connecticut. The house was first built for Thomas Avery in 1845, and it passed to his son William in 1869. William's widow sold the house to his cousin, William H. H. Smith in 1877.
By the 1890s, the farm was being managed by Smith's younger brother, Herman W. Smith and nephew, Frank A. Harris. In 1900, these two men married sisters Lula and Florence Munger, and the two couples shared the house. William deeded the house to his brother and nephew in 1921, and continued to visit until his death in 1927.
Smith and Harris farmed the property for over sixty years. Smith died in 1951. In 1955, his widow and Harris sold the house and 103 acres of farmland to the Town of East Lyme for $34,000. Harris died soon after the sale, and the two widows continued to live in the house until they required the care of a nursing home.
After their deaths, the house was boarded up, and was a frequent target of vandalism. The Town had purchased the land for municipal purposes, and, regarding the House as an "attractive nuisance", considered tearing it down.
A group of concerned citizens rallied to protect the property, citing it as an important relic of the Greek Revival style that should be preserved. A committee was appointed to oversee its restoration, and, on July 3, 1976, the first floor of the house was dedicated as a town museum.
Since then, the Smith-Harris House Commission has been created by the Town to oversee the property, and the Friends of Smith-Harris House have been incorporated to support the Commission in its work.

Supereasy sashiko stitching against my knitted and felted plaid. When I look at the photo I see that the plaid is somewhat Japanese-inspired too - I made it five or six years ago. I like that:)
