whats going on?


A toddle round the thrift shops yesterday was a treat. I picked up two Jacqmar scarves to add to my collection.



This is my favorite sort of Jacqmar, soft floral, 50s perhaps.





but, what have we here? created FOR Jacqmar of London??? reverse tell me it was made in China....Yikes. To me, Jacqmar is quintessentially English, on a par with Liberty.




speaking of which ,
a pretty Liberty small floral, 50s 60s? I am pretty sure I have this in a couple of other colorways. One of these days I will get around to organizing my stash of about 700 Liberty scarves.




and dig this late 40s early 50s souvenir scarf, love the Delta airlines DC 6.

  1. I love that first softly coloured scarf, so pretty.
    I cannot believe you have 700 Liberty scarves!!!!! Incredible!
    I just love that last scarf too - i have picked up one or two airline scarves, and i also love the silk tourist scraves from the 50s and 60s.
    Once again you tempt me to browse your etsy shop for some eye candy!!!

  2. I am afraid I am out of control with the Liberty scarves I know I have lots of repeats.

  3. 700 hundred scarves???? And you plan to organize them? How in the world would you do that - by colour, theme?? How do you display them?

  4. 7oo scarves - that's very impressive. I too would be interested to know how you go about organising them, sounds a bit of a nightmare to me.

  5. yes, it is a nightmare, i am overwhelmed. But, I have a free bedroom at the moment and when I stop going to the cabin in a few weeks I may have time to make a start.
