Rain Barrels anyone?
The People's City Mission is selling rain barrels to raise money for the homeless.
The cost for a rain barrel with parts is $50 and you can put it together.
They also are selling a rain barrel for $100 that is assembled, delivered and installed.
To purchase one of these rain barrels contact Sasha Vodolazskiy at 402-730-5207 or email to sashav@peoplescitymission.org
Here at the Hawley Bed & Breakfast, I have been looking into setting up rain barrels to water the flowers during the dry periods of summer. To see the many flowers we had last year, go to our web site and look at the pictures. http://www.hawleybb.com/bnb.html

Chintz: Indian Textiles for the West
From the quilt museum web site:
05/01/2009 @ 5:30 pm
Rosemary Crill, Senior Curator, Victoria and Albert Museum, London presents. FREE admission 5-7 PM.
Over the past hundred years, "chintz" has come to mean any floral printed furnishing fabric, usually made of cotton, and often glazed. Its origins as a hand-drawn and dyed fabric from India are often forgotten. Rosemary Crill will discuss these rare earlier chintzes and explore the background and development of this beautiful technique. She will also describe the use of chintz in Europe from the early seventeenth century to the mid-nineteenth century, first as bed curtains and wall hangings and later for popular men's and women's fashions.
