Winter’s Last Gasp

For the past two days here in the Southern mountains it has been rainy, sleety and cold.  But hopefully this is really the end of winter, and the weatherman is my new BFF, as he has predicted sunny skies and highs in the 60s and 70s for the next five days.  All I can say is that he’d better deliver.

I thought about saving this fantastic skating theme scarf for December, but then I realized that a good scarf is a good scarf, regardless of the theme and the time of year.

That must be the crazy scarf elf.  Is he matchmaking?

That little tyke is going to learn to skate whether he wants to or not!

Skate tag?

 

And I want to say a huge “Thank You” to Juliet of SixCatsFun Vintage for sending this lovely gift.  I don’t know what I’ve done to create such a nice bunch of readers, but believe me, I’m so grateful for all of you.

  2. Thank you Lizzie, truly I’m so lucky to have your blog in my life. Don’t you wish we knew who drew this scarf? So much social info in just a few brushstrokes. I didn’t notice the matchmaking the elf was doing.

  7. The addition of the elves is a bizarre! I echo the sentiments of others — your blog is a delight to read and I know it takes a lot of time and effort to do such thoughtful posts.
