Breezy Days

This picture of Gillian is priceless.

Daffodils from Trader Joe's. At last it is that time of year. 

 A walk with my kinfolk. 

Nathanael's seventh birthday. And that's my Daddy, friends. He's an Anglican Bishop.

Another walk with my friend, Constance.

The sun in the evergreens, and Becket in his rain boots. 

Perhaps this winter season is at last breaking. I'm so ready for sunny mornings and long evenings. Until then, at least the grass is now mostly visible, wearing flats isn't as adventurous as before, and our "snow crew", i.e. the boys, is less active. It's the beginning. 

 The weekend is the time to catch up on my neglected blog. Bear with me, friends, and stay tuned!

Love,

Madeleine

5 Ways to Wear a Tapestry Scarf

Hello, friends! So...I was disappointed with the way the photos turned out for my last post regarding tapestry scarf wearing, so I decided to redo it. You'll notice some evident differences from the last attempt (I hope!), and in case you're wondering, the last post is no longer visible. Those photos were embarrassing. 

I've ordered the examples by the basic style, and put in any variations on that style below it.  

Here's to second time's the charm!

1. Metropolitan

Everyone wears this, but let us not forget its timelessness. 

2. Artisanal

 Take the two tasseled ends from your Metropolitan, cross them (like you're beginning a knot), and tighten or loosen as desired. 

3. Parisian Knot

The classic warm and adorable scarf style. 

4. Infinity

By knotting the tasseled ends of the scarf, you can create a fun infinity scarf that you can wrap around as many times as you like. Good warmth for below zero days, as well!

5. Nonchalant 

An easy way to add color to your outfit, but be relaxed about it. Throw it on whichever way is most natural.

    

And that's it! Photo credits go to my sister, Gillian. What a capable lass she is!

Love,

Madeleine
