FYI:
Curtains for Obama, thanks to Scottish fabric firm
Date: 13 February 2009

OPULENT curtains, made by one of Scotland’s leading textile companies, will grace the White House, it was revealed yesterday.
The order has been commissioned by Michael Smith, a Los Angeles-based designer brought in by the first lady, Michelle Obama, to refurbish the private family apartments in the east wing of the building.
And the specially made fabric, a mixture of the finest wool and silk, has already been shipped to America by MacNaughton Holdings, a Perth-based company established in 1783. The fabric was made at the company’s main textile mill in Keith in Moray.

“He needed 120 metres of one of our products extremely urgently to go into the White House.”

Good thing Michelle will now have something to wear to her next event!

I hope she takes the curtain rod out of it before she wears it.
