Not a hat man, mind you but I love my tartan scarf...one I gave to my mother one year which she then mailed back in same package I had sent it! The following year or two later, she saw me wear it, commenting how good it looked and I said, "Well, it should - I chose it for you adn you mailed it re-gifted it back the next year!" In typical fashion she quipped right back, without a moment's delay, "Oh, did I? How sensible. And no wonder I have such good tastes!"<br /><br />Alex used to have over 50 scarves but when we moved to UK for those 4 months, we both decluttered and she forced herself down to 11 but now she's back up to 18. It happens. :) Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712046924863763290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-57894090754748961302017-10-21T15:00:02.832-04:002017-10-21T15:00:02.832-04:00I so loved our stay at Apt.

The older favorites have memories woven into the fabric though - like the beauty from Apt when we stayed at La Madonne (you remember that beautiful place!) and shopped on a brilliant market day, and the one I chose in Aix once the rain let up and we were able to do the market where the flower stalls were unbelievably beautiful and perfumed.<br />Mary -<br />Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-49201641385786856182017-10-21T09:31:51.591-04:002017-10-21T09:31:51.591-04:00Lori, love how you went and counted your collectio...Lori, love how you went and counted your collection!

They are light and packable where luggage weight is a concern, and I do find lovely ones for a small cost. Every now and then I downsize the scarf drawer and share with my granddaughter - but yes, I do have many and wear most of them. I admire you living with just that one favorite, I need lessons in becoming a minamalist!!!!!<br />Mary -Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-54060811115879746742017-10-21T09:24:53.921-04:002017-10-21T09:24:53.921-04:00I know what you mean but have learned not to try t...I know what you mean but have learned not to try to be as fussy with them, just let them 'go with the flow', especially the larger ones.

Since I have picked up crochet I have been thinking about making a scarf. Also this winter I plan to start spinning wool again, so who knows there may be more scarves in my future.Marilyn Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-3259877544579871042017-10-20T17:09:16.634-04:002017-10-20T17:09:16.634-04:00Your question made me curious, and since I have re...Your question made me curious, and since I have recently organized and neatly folded my scarves, I got up to count them - just over 30. And there are always more I would like. They keep me warm and add some colour and, I hope, style to my rather casual wardrobe.<br />The black background scarf with what looks like embroidery on it is stunning.

And not because I don't love them, but because I have had that grey scarf since the 80's...it is so warm and soft and cozy...it's the only one I wear all winter long!! And it's a nice long one too, I can wrap it up all over my head and around my face and neck when the winds get too cold! I have great dreams of knitting more, but I always go back to my favourite! :) So far no holes either!!! :)Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-41596711433504843072017-10-20T13:16:51.585-04:002017-10-20T13:16:51.585-04:00I have lots of scarves, but never manage to look q...I have lots of scarves, but never manage to look quite as elegant as the models!Elizabethdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405703727112759947noreply@blogger.com
