A Cheap Treat
Yesterday, I took a walk to the public library (a nice, half-hour's walk) and got myself a library card. That was a good venture- a library card is a wonderful thing to have when you don't want to accumulate lots more books to lug around.
On the way, I stopped in at a store that billed itself as a Sari, Indian fabric, and Indian music store. I figured that I might as well start looking for some fabric for a project I'll be doing soon- I'm making a new atarah (the collar decoration) for H's tallit (It was a bar mitzvah gift from his grandparents, and he'll be starting to wear it once we're married, and I wanted to add a touch of my own as a gift to him.) The store turned out mostly to sell music- but there were a series of bins of bolt-ends. I went through them, looking for good things for H's tallit.
I didn't find what I wanted for that project- but I did find a series of pieces that are going to serve as lovely scarves. They're not hemmed- I'll have to do that myself, or just fold them over. On the other hand, they were 75 cents each. I may just have to go back again at some point- with prices like that, even I can afford to be experimental.
