You may have noticed that I use some "high=end" silks for my projects......There is a very special on-line site where you can buy these (Site where the Interior Designers shop) and you can buy Scalamandre, Versace, Fortuny, etc, etc, etc. at bargain basement prices. Don't buy until they have the 90 percent OFF sales.....I say this because some of the fabrics are several hundred $ per yard...Don't faint, I bought Scalamandre silk for my bedroom draperies that were regularly over $300 per yard and I actually paid only $9.91 per yard. The site is currently under overhaul but when it comes back up, check it out...the site is

www.designdivafabrics.com. I have been buying fabric from them for years and they have good customer service.

You are welcome. The deals are spectacular.....but you have to wait for the deep deep discount sales....If you sign up for their newsletter they will notify you of the sales......Also, do remember wait for the great sales....they usually have the bargain basement prices about 3 times per year....especially in December. They always have discounts but 50% off $400 yd is still $200...
so just be patient because the great sales do happen.

Thank you so much for the tip. We all try to save any time we can! The more we save, the more we can buy, right? Thanks.
