THEME WEEKS for 2023 from TEAM SCARF MISTRESS
Just for fun, each Sunday begins a new Theme Week. This year, we continue to have a full compliment of SMs and GSMs on file for the year! I believe our total for this year will be a whopping 13 SMs! I can't remember who everyone is off the top of my head except that I know @LKBNOLA and @Redbirdhermes will return for a round or two, but thank you in advance to all who volunteered for a theme or two! You know who you are and we appreciate you greatly. The variety and individuality really keeps SOTD a welcoming and fun space.
Once again, our ever fabulous calendar mastermind @xincinsin, along with @Cookiefiend, @Living.la.vida.fifi, @Karenska and yours truly brainstormed to (hopefully) give a fun and variety filled Silky Calendar for 2023. Of course, there is always room for more! If you’d like to be a host, start a Conversation with one of us (@bunnycat, @Cookiefiend, @Living.la.vida.fifi, or @xincinsin ) by clicking the Inbox in the upper right corner. (I promise it is really fun and we're here to help you any time!)
For 2023, we're visiting some old favorites and added on a few spins to old ideas that I hope will make for fun games.
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 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!
