lost treasure inspires passion - to be continued...

How is it possible for a knotted silk scarf to become unknotted and slip off totally unoticed, while one meerly walks briskly up the high street...impossible I would have thought and yet today...this tragedy struck me! Yes it is tragic! Today I chose a particularly lovely one of my dear late Grandmothers beautiful vintage scarves to wear, tied it around my neck in a knot so as to secure it from unfortunate events....and low and behold, it slipped away anyhow. How did it do that??

I am gutted that it's gone!!! I even walked up and down the high street asking in all the shops if someone had handed it in by some miraculous chance...but no....
The best I can do to cope with this unexpected loss is to try to imagine the fortunate lady who picks up the scarf, looking around, sees no one coming for it...examines it and smiles, realising she had infact found a treasure! I choose to think of my scarf on a great adventure...perhaps it will even inspire a children's story someday......today, it has inspried me to explore my love of silk scarves and start my own collection! Yay I don't collect anything.....but now I do! I always envied those people who collected the little crystal animals...just because they had an established passion, something eveyone identified with them...they are never unsure what to ask for for birthdays and Christmas, they probably get what they want...one for the collection! Well that's going to be me I hope.

I have discovered so many sellers of vintage scarves I have been blown away with excitement! So many I would love to have....especially those by Christian LaCroix ...ooooh I love love love these!! so expensive but so beautiful! I can imagine myself wearing these gorgoeus scarves and my children saving to buy me a new one each Christmas. I'm so sad to have lost the scarf today but weirdly excited to have discovered my new found passion ....collecting vintage silk scarves! maybe I'll even start my own e shop!! Cool! Thanks Grandma xxx
