Play day


A free couple of hours to play with my Liberty scarf collection.



This was the one that got me started, left behind in my parents pub when I was about 14. I still love the subtle green.



An update on the different colorways on this small floral.


A few days ago I picked up a mystery scarf that I just know is an old Liberty The above gray scarf also has no mark, imprint or tag, bought at a church rummage sale in the late 1970s, it was not until the mid 80s that I found its replica with a cream ground, this time with the imprint.



Another sweet floral in two colorways, may have more somewhere. Love the wee bunches of redcurrants.
I am making headway with organizing them, and at least, have decided to sort them into styles. Floral, art nouveau, paisley, hunting etc.

  1. I do love Liberty prints! I have a habit of picking up a couple of metres of gorgeous florals in the sale and then not being able to chop them up or make them into anything!

  2. I love Liberty silk scarves and hanve managed to collect quite a few along with some lovely old Richard Allen designed Jacqmar scarves. I wear them all often and love the way a pretty or striking scarf can lift an outfit and make you look so stylish. M x

  3. I think your method of sorting them is a great idea. I must keep my eye open for them on my thrifting forays.

  4. It is always a delight to see Liberty prints and what a wonderful collection of scarves. Like Kate O I seem to hoard my Liberty Tana Lawn fabric and can't bring myself to cut into it. Take care.
