I got cocky and put all my cold weather clothes away. It's late May! It was over 80 degrees for several days in a row. I got sunburned.
Dumb, dumb, dumb. This is Indiana! It's been 50 degrees for the last three days. What was I thinking??
The good news is that I left all the boxes with my winter clothes in a giant pile outside the closet. It's an irritating pile, but at least my sweats were easy to get to again.
Also, Eric found a cute purple zippy hooded sweatshirt jacket with stripes inside the hood - on sale! while he was at Walmart grocery shopping [How cool is that?!] - and I've had a chance to wear that around. A lot.
Anyway, I'm having a 'Hope springeth eternal' moment. Someday it is going to get warm and stay that way for a few months. It's time to celebrate summer clothes.
And accessories. So, I'm having a giveaway!
To celebrate the arrival of warm weather, I'm giving away a hand-dyed, handwoven, summer weight scarf.
The winner gets to choose the color. I have these colors [L-R in the photo, left]: Deep Blues, June, Old Brass, Sunset, Blue Vineyard, Fiesta, Olive. Not shown: Pink.
The scarf is 72 inches long [not including a couple of inches of fringe at each end], 6 inches wide. The warp is a fine cotton boucle with a good drape that will continue to soften over time. I wove these with a fine sparkle weft and the finished scarf is gauzy - you can see through it.
If you don't win, but would like to buy one, they are $57 each plus $2 shipping. Email me - address below.
Rules:
1. Please follow the blog. [Look down on the right side of the blog - below the Other Cool Sites list.]
2. Leave a comment telling me your favorite warm weather activity.
3. One comment per person, please.
The giveaway closes at 12:01 a.m. Monday morning. I'll post the winner sometime on Monday. The winner should email me [robin at morenna dot com] with a mailing address and color choice and I'll get it right out.
Good luck!
