What I found and what I did to it.

Whilst out thrifting (looking for the fabled fake satin nightgowns they don't make anymore for my gram) I found a treasure trove of silk.

This was one of the things.

A bit old fashioned, no?

It's a large heavy silk scarf. Because of where I am it is most likely someone's old hijab scarf. It's hand rolled, in great new shape...but a bit 'old' for me.

So I made it purple. Two packs of cherry koolaide and two packs of grape and a slow boil in a glass pot.

Mmmm smells yummy.

The new color makes it much more acceptable print-wise.

The color suits me.

Cream with print is old lady. But purple with print is retro and is thus good. I am much pleased. Not bad for two bucks, eh?
