THE GOVERNMENT HAS IMPOSED LARGE TARIFFS ON IMPORTS INTO THE US, INCLUDING HANDCRAFTED GOODS. THIS IS A REAL BLOW TO SMALL BUSINESSES LIKE RAIN LILY SHOP. WE WILL ABSORB SOME OF THE COST BUT WILL NEED TO RAISE SOME OF OUR PRICES MODESTLY. WE HOPE THIS RULING WILL BE REVERSED SOON! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING OUR SMALL BUSINESS! IT MEANS THE WORLD TO US!***Shipping $5.95!***

    Welcome Fall!

    By Katie Mahoney
    Fall always seems like an optimistic season to me -- new school year, new beginnings, new crafts!  I'm very excited about the block-printed shawls we're receiving this week.  Now we've all seen block-printed fabrics -- they are not rare.  But some block-printed fabrics are not really block printed -- that is, they are not printed by hand with wooden blocks carved with the fabric's design.  Some are just machine printed.  And there are many block-printed fabrics that are the real thing, and some are beautiful.  But the shawls that we're getting are jaw-droppingly beautiful!  The patterns and colors are so vivid and gorgeous.  Take a look at the photo below which shows some of the prints:

    I think you'll agree that they are amazing.  And the size is a generous 77 x 47 inches -- you can wrap them as shawls, cozy scarves or use them as sarongs.  We'll have them this weekend at the Long Island City Flea & Food, and if we don't sell them all, we'll put them on the website.  If you're interested, drop me an email.
