THIS post is my homage to two lovely scarves!
We stopped in to Madewell while in Boston last weekend - I had never been before and we dropped in to buy my daughter some new tshirts for the fall.
While in the store, I saw the Madewell storyteller scarf. Lots of people are really enjoying this scarf and no wonder!

The details are quite lovely:
they remind me of the artwork by Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant....
Here I am sporting the scarf today:
Me in the scarf, with the raj paisley skirt and a Joe Fresh tank - I look exhausted! It is only day 2 of the vacation!
What I liked about this scarf immediately, besides the fact that the subject was Paris and I am heading there in 2 weeks, was that I already have a vintage Paris scarf. But they are very different: The Storyteller simply lists the names of famous Parisian landmarks. My other scarf illustrates them!
Its provenance is unknown, although my Aunt Betty bought it in either England or France in the mid 1950s. It is silk and very lovely and I took it with me when I went to France for the first time in 2008:
The illustrations are lovely:
It is a real heirloom piece for me, as I think of my beloved Aunt Betty whenever I wear it!
If you need your own Paris scarf (besides a Hermes!), visit the Madewell site here!
Enjoy your evening and stay tuned for the saga that is my fall wardrobe tomorrow!
JE N'AI PAS D'HERMES MADAME! votre foulard ira a la poubelle comme tellment de choses que ne valent la peine de raconter! bon chance et 200 pas a la gloire de votre brie et apero! un jour ... un jour!
ReplyDeleteMadame Cruella - Vous êtes très drôle! Merci pour votre commentaire!!!
DeleteI LOVE your Paris scarves. Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Beach Chic Girl! I do love scarves! I hope to be able to say I love Paris soon as well!!!
DeleteThey are beauties, I have just one scarf now, I just don't feel right in them but you and others can pulley them off beautifully.
ReplyDeleteGo back and look at the post where I am wrapped in one whilst visiting beacon hill! You will think otherwise and wonder that I am not touring as Fantine somewhere...
ReplyDeleteYour heirloom scarf is wonderful! If the storyteller scarf was a long one, I would grab it quick. I never know how to wear a square one. But it is a lovely shade of blue as you say, and it reminds me of my visit to Paris ...
ReplyDeleteThanks Tiffany - I am like you - I prefer a longer scarf for it's versatility! given the colour and subject matter, I could not resist!
ReplyDeleteI checked at the grocery store - thus far, we only have cream, black and silver/black striped Joe Fresh sequin tops, but they are all tanks!
Lovely scarves!
ReplyDeletethanks Rose - I really recommend the Storyteller scarves - they are quite nice quality!

ReplyDeleteThanks Julie!
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing us that scarf. I actually live very close to a Madewell and may have to go take a peek. I am your newest follower, if for no other reason than I love the name of your blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks knit yarns - it is a lovely scarf and I appreciate the nice comment on the blog name!
DeleteI love both of the scarves, and of course that blue is just stunning on you! How wonderful to have the heirloom scarf from your Aunt Betty. I'm sure it must be one of your favorites. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks FFM!
ReplyDeleteI do love that blue!
