This lovely vintage 90 CM silk cashmere was my retail therapy after my mom died two weeks ago. USPS delivered it... I got the delivery confirmation and it wasn’t my signature and I was afraid it was gone.

Thanks to the magic of GPS and @BeenBurned guidance on asking the local Usps where they delivered.... package was at a similar street 1/2 a mile away so my dad and I went off on an adventure and here she is!

I think this is from the 1990s. Anyone know the year? I have loved this design for a long time and happy to have it in my collection and now a memory in honor of my mom and an adventure with my dad.

So sorry to hear of your loss doloresmia and glad this lovely PMCS landed with you (instead of me, LOL!) Siam is a spectacular design and it's great that it will be a great memory for you. (I have Siam dated as 1978 in my files but I defer to the experts.)

textilegirl, thank you for your thoughts.

The decades blend together for me. 1978 would be amazing for this shawl! I love that you have a file....

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, and THRILLED you were able to retrieve the scarf. The pattern is lovely and those greens are divine. A beautiful way to always have your mom close.

thank you nymeria. My mom was sick for a long time and I didn’t know whether to pray for a quick end or a prolonged one so she would stay with us.

She left my sister and I some small bits of jewelry that are very much 1990s style channel set pieces. Not my thing normally but I wear different pieces to sleep at night so my dad doesn’t see and grieve more. It makes me feel better and now I have the shawl too.

So, so sorry for your loss, doloresmia. I am happy you have warm memories of your mom and a few touchstones like this gorgeous scarf to hold her close to your heart.
