bobad: The kirta. Crackles when you open it. About 3 feet wide. Embroidery at the neck. Not an object worthy of the Vatican Art Collection. But somehow, I could never throw mine away either. And, I bet if it underwent a lab test, some of that starch would still be in there...And, if you just LOOK at it, you begin to sing some Donovan, "Sunshine came softly, through my windoww..."(Sunshine Superman)
