Would anyone be interested in a rather long length of gauzy fabric? It was originally an Indian sari. Some friend of the family brought it home as a souvenir for my mother-in-law, perhaps in the 70s. It's not super high quality (like silk), it's more like what sheer curtains are made of.
I couldn't get super accurate measurements or a good photo, because it's so long and slippery to handle. The size is approximately 4' wide x 20' long. It's white with a lavender/purple flower pattern.
I think it would make a pretty swag-style curtain. There's certainly enough fabric to drape over a curtain rod. Or you could cut it in half for a pair of curtains.
(I have the underskirt and undershirt of the sari as well, if you might be looking for a sari as a costume.)
As for barter, I don't even know what I might want. I'm more in the mode of de-cluttering than finding new treasures. The only thing I'm actually looking for is colorful vintage images of ladies working in the kitchen. So just "a home for this item" would be a good trade as far as I'm concerned.
