LOVE them all. I am particularly smitten with MJ's World's Fair scarf. It's the bold color combination.

Tallinn souvenir scarf with the Vanalinna (old castle) on it and story in Estonian. Not sure how old this is, I found it 10 years ago in a vintage shop in Toronto.

What a great thread! These are all fantastic.

Of course, I MUST HAVE that Cadwallader hat scarf.

I love this Karin, I competed with a Choir in Talinn (They are big on singing in Estonia) and it's a wonderful old town. Just like this depicts.

I know - it's just gorgeous! I've been there too a few years ago, so when I saw this in a rummage box at that vintage shop, I knew right away what it was, so I just had to have it!

Vintage Echo Scarves: ( 1960s-1970s although I think the green one could be earlier than that.)

What a wonderful slice of American culture and history.

Oh my. This is an old thread. I have and have had lots of fun hankies and scarves.
May I add more to it or not?
