My new Christmas Scarf
The holiday season is here, with catalogs flooding in. Despite normally using them for fires, a scarf with a festive print and tiny bells caught my eye. It arrived before Thanksgiving, and I immediately wore it after the holiday. Pleasantly surprised by its 90% wool and 10% cashmere composition, I happily fixed the few missing bells and plan to wear it for many holiday outings.
