Got silk?
Well, if not, you can get it at the Xi-Ling-Shi trunk show (yes, yet another trunk show!) at The Cottage in Northeast Harbor. Xi-Ling-Shi is named for the the Chinese empress who, legend has it, discovered silk. And these gorgeously colored, richly patterned jackets and shirts are a discovery in and of themselves. They look perfect dressed up for evening or over jeans for a more casual look. The trunk show will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 13 and 14, at The Cottage, 160 Main St. in Northeast Harbor. For more information, call 276-4005.
