THEME WEEKS for 2018 from TEAM SCARF MISTRESS
Just for fun, each Sunday begins a new Theme Week. This year TEAM SCARF MISTRESS is a gang of three—plus Guest Volunteers who will host some Theme Weeks from the list below. (If you’d like to be a host, start a Conversation with one of us-- Bunnycat, Xincinsin, or ABQ2ATL--by clicking the Inbox in the upper right corner. Tell us the date and Theme you’d like to introduce and we’ll answer questions and sign you up. We’d really love your help!)
Everyone on this thread is a Scarfie who loves learning about specific designers, discovering new scarf knots, examining scarf details more carefully, and seeing MORE SCARVES. Even if it's off-theme, your SOTD (Scarf of the Day) is always welcome. Be creative, have fun with the topics, and SHOW US YOUR SCARVES — talk about them and add links to more information. We’re all friends here (definitely no Scarf Police) – so smile at your selfie camera and come play with us!
