Karen -

 

Delighted that you got back to me. I rarely check in on the Network (it's not terribly active) but decided to have another look yesterday. I saw your notes about your interests and because I was dealing with some clothing-related ephemera I thought I'd see what you collecting in particular. I do like handling swatch and sample books and have a number fabric ones, including some Japanese kimono fabrics. I thought in particular of some clothing labels I just picked up at an estate sale. TONS of them! I think there was some OCD at work.

 At any rate, I listed some on ETSY and just minutes ago put a "bulk" lot in the mail. But there are still several hundred left that I would sell very reasonably if you were interested in a bunch. They cover all kinds of clothing labels, US and foreign-made, some very high-end couture designers.

 

I have other things as well, but would like to know your interests in more explicit detail.

Cheers, Lee
