Curtains for the CASA AMERICA
In May 2026, we announced that we had finished furnishing the apartments in Casa America . But what does "finished" really mean?
Two weeks ago we picked up the curtains from the seamstress in Termini Imerese . She made them from the fabrics we had bought at Bagheria 's Wednesday market.
At the weekly market in Bagheria , which takes place every Wednesday morning in a large open area overlooking the Villa Cattolica, we found fabrics for curtains.
We really enjoyed Termini Imerese again during our visit to the seamstress, with its narrow, winding streets!
We picked up the curtains from the seamstress in one of the winding alleys of Termini Imerese – as a reward, we then enjoyed a swim at the expansive Spiaggia Salinelle beach, which our guests had recommended! And then it was time to hang them up...
We had a little mishap while hanging the curtains – a thread slipped through the seam as we were gathering the fabric. We asked our neighbor, whom we met while watering the plants, for a sewing needle. Her reply: "Who, if not me?" As it turned out, she's a seamstress herself – if only we'd known! She insisted on mending the curtain for us.
Done! Now they're hanging and, in cooperation with the Sicilian sun, conjure up beautiful plays of light on the walls!
