I have a bit of problem with scarves... I can't resist them. Although I don't wear them too often in summer; I do sport one most days of the week winter, spring and fall.
The best way I have found to store them is in one of my vintage suitcases right on top of a dresser in my bedroom.
I love all of the pretty colors just waiting to be added to an outfit. If I can see them, I'm more likely to wear them. I've found that to be true with all of my accessories.
I fold them in half or thirds, twist the length and then make a loose knot, tucking in the ends at the center. They almost resemble flowers... or even little cinnamon rolls!
Before I started rolling them up I had simply folded them and they always ended up in a messy pile.
Now they're almost a pretty accessory in and of themselves for the room--a decorative accent to enjoy in more ways than one!

The scarves in the suitcase are just too fun! And how easy to find a coordinating accessory, too. :-) Thanks for the invite to participate again, Mary. ~ Sue `
ReplyDeleteHi Mary, Your scarf idea is an excellent one and I plan on doing it in my closet...put them in a basket. I love to wear them and have many! I wear them spring, winter and fall but I kind of think they look silly in the summer but that's the fashion. :) xoxo Thank you for hosting this fun party.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to store you scarves! I wear one everyday too. they add so much! great suitcase, just linked up, xoxo Debra
ReplyDeleteYou're right! They're so colorful and pretty to look at. Why keep them stashed away in a drawer never to be seen. Thanks so much for hosting Mary.
ReplyDeleteHi: I always love my visits here. You are so talented Mary. Have a great day. Blessings, Martha
ReplyDeleteYes! I love this idea of storing scarves...and you are right, you need to be able to see them to wear them. I don't have a vintage suitcase but I do have drawer. It looks like I will be foling my scarves this evening! Thank you for hosting...this has been fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! I have mine just hanging in my closet. Half the time I forget what I have. I have a vintage case just like that. Actually, I have three stacked in my bonus room. My grand daughters often use them when playing dress ups. Bet they won't miss just 1.

You have such a great scarf collection and the loose knots look like a great idea too. Thank you for hosting. I'm sharing some vintage tea infusers.
ReplyDeleteI love the colorful array of scarves, and the suitcase is a great display idea! They are fun to wear, aren't they?(the scarves, not the suitcase, lol.)
