    It was only a matter of time before home furnishing trends moved to fashion. Or is it the other way around? Did couture designer’s styles inspire the cushions on the couch which inspired the low end retailers? Anyway, hopefully the mass marketing of ikat will eventually bring profit to those who make the real thing as purists travel to central asia to snap up the good stuff.

    Very pretty, I’m going to link to your blog, I love it!
