Once upon a time, there lived a designer in a village nestled between the Great Ocean and the magical city of Tinsel. The designer loved to create magical garments to warm and delight people from near and far who were lucky enough to buy one of these rare items.
One special day, the designer was invited (along with other artisans from her crafts guild) to present one of her scarves to a Tinsel Town princess.* What a wonderful bag of enchanting gifts! — surely it would gladden the heart of the busy princess. It held baubles and books, scents and sights (no apples!) … and one, very special, magical scarf.
The scarf was made of the midnight sky and the ghost of spring flowers, long and flowing like a river but spun into a fabric so light and soft, it felt like a vapor on the skin.
Its magic made it light in the summer, and warm when chill settled over land, elegant for courtly duties yet just right for a walk down the Boulevard of Stars.
And so, the magical scarf was dispatched. (To be continued...)
*The princess in the story is, of course, the talented Ginnifer Goodwin, star of the current ABC hit “Once Upon a Time,” where she plays Snow White (caught in a time-space continuum sort of spell!) I am so honored to have been invited by The Artisan Group to gift her with my black pima Agapanthus scarf. See what other wonderful gifts they will be sending to Ginnifer here on Pinterest.
This is the same design that was purchased for (Desperate Housewives) actor Marcia Cross by a member of her staff, for a Christmas gift last year, but on a taupe heather burnout fabric. More scarves like this are available in my Limited Edition shop (black is currently sold out but other colors and fabrics available will be sure to delight!)
What was the magic that made this scarf? Well, it starts in the garden…
