I never used to class myself as a scarf-wearer.

At least, not the non-woollen “indoor” sort of scarf.

I remember my boss in one job a good fifteen years ago bought me a floral chiffon scarf for my birthday. My ungrateful younger self thought, “a SCARF? What does she take me for – someone middle-aged?”

My, how times have changed.

These days scarves are worn by young people, even men, without risk of sneering ridicule.

And I could be described as middle-aged.

I’m not sure which of the above is responsible, but nowadays I like scarves.

Especially when they’re as cheap and cheerful as these, which cost only a pound or two each.

I got most of the lovely stack of scarves pictured from the same vintage emporium whence came my Crimplene crush.

I’m happy to wear them, but in some ways it seems a shame. You can’t see those fabulous designs when they are folded up and wrapped around your neck.

So, I’m tempted to do something else with them instead.

With the largest nearly a metre square, they’re a bit big for cushions – even floor cushions.

Similarly, they could be framed, but I’d need a lot of wall space.

I love what Ouno Design do with theirs:

Unfortunately, that idea might mean I have to try and hunt down a few more… 😉
