Had an unprecedented few minutes to peruse blogs last night. (HA! OK...I'm kidding. But, I really don't spend as much time as my family thinks in the blogosphere. I'm on deadline for the PTA newsletter; I don't have time for that this week!)
Anyhow, came across bloggy friend, Linda at 2nd Cup of Coffee who posted on a meme about scarves (thanks to Rachel at Unexpected Blessings for hosting).
I have a long history with scarves (and some just plain long scarves). And, since I'm enjoying that awesome Southern snowstorm this morning...still...it seems right to tie up a few minutes of your time with a few photos and yarns about scarves. (I'll stop punning now.)
Why stop with just one scarf when you can wear two? I was in the high school color guard for two years. Purple ascot with the brown coat scarf (and the puffiest pom-poms at the end) made for a cool scarfy look (and quite warm as we got into November. Plus, the pom-poms let me cheer with the cheerleaders!).
Ah...memories....
Scarves will do that for you!
Christmas caroling with the friends in high school. That scarf dates back a LONG time!!! The thickest scarf I have ever owned. A stand out over the bright green down parka, no? Then, there was the guy I liked who wore scarves....let's not go there.
Canoeing in Canada. Scarf isn't really appropriate in August, but "scarfing" a sweatshirt fills the gap nicely.
This scarf is also very old. My sisters and I all had a scarf that looked like this one, only in 4 different colors! (Way before the Wal-Mart smiley face.) My girls get to enjoy it now...or, at least, put it on a snowman.
And here is me, today, before going out in the snow, with my London-style scarfing.
It's London-style because my sister, who lived over there for a time, showed me how to tie it that way, as that's what all the folks over there do. Two years ago, I joined all my sisters and my mom there for a girls' weekend. My sister from Ohio bought everyone a scarf for the occasion. Who knew you could dramatically change a scarf by folding it in half first before wrapping it around your neck? (And that really did work against the drizzly, drafty London air!)
