Several years ago I got a vintage Vera scarf on Ebay. My plan was to have it framed. Time passed. The scarf got misplaced, balled up and tucked away somewhere "safe". During a recent and highly unusual cleaning and purging phase I found it. And finally took it to the framers. Two days later...
Voila! I love it. It has all the colors of my house. I have tried it in several rooms and I like it in all of them. It will probably be another two years before I decide exactly where to hang it.
It's funny because now that I have my framed scarf, I have started seeing them everywhere.
I probably just wasn't looking before.
It's like when a friend gets a new car and suddenly you see that car everywhere you go.
This is actually hanging in an Anthropologie store.
They did a whole display with Vera scarves including covering an entire wall.

Ivanka Trump's apartment. I like it. I especially like her blue chandelier. She has a framed scarf. It is Hermes. Let's just face it; she is fancier than I am.
So have you ever framed a scarf, scrap of fabric, piece of clothing...anything different or exciting? Or like me, have you ever let a project sit for two before completing it?

It is FABULOUS!! Of course, those two colors together are my faves. Same colors as your blog header. Have you decided where to put it?!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I just saw a scarf in an ad that I thought would be beautiful framed for my great room. Great inspiration images.
ReplyDeleteVery Pretty! But if you think that's safe from your kids, think again. I mean who else gets Benadryl on a headboard? I see those toy numbchucks and some broken glass in your future LOL
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea! I have what is supposed to be an Hermes scarf - bought it for about five bucks at an estate sale, so, doubt it's authentic...but, I'm also not real likely to wear it - maybe it has a frame in it's future??? ;)
ReplyDeleteI have an Hermes scarf that my grandmother gave me when I was small. Until a couple of years ago I didn't even know the worth. I always say I need to get it frames. I think you just pushed me over the edge with yours, gorgeous.
ReplyDeletei love this idea! i founda box of scarves in my grandmothers house a few months ago. I wear some of them, but a few would be lovely framed somewhere in my house! love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI have a piece of fabric framed and matted in the kitchen... I was actually planning to post about it today :)
ReplyDeleteI just picked up a linen of some sort at a flea market in NYC that is about the size of your scarf. It's waiting for me to find time to have it framed, but yours is great modivation.
ReplyDeleteLove it. I hate empty walls. I framed some older ones...you can take a peek here http://kaycehughes.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2008-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&updated-max=2009-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=44
ReplyDeletei am also a huge fan of frames by mail. Very reasonable pricing especially when you need a custom size. And they always seem to ship right away.
LOVE! I have some scarves of my mom's from the 70's...I can promise you there is not an Hermes in the bunch but the prints are great. Good idea!
ReplyDeletelove it! some of my favorite shades of blue and green together! I'd love to do that someday!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Ivanka's dining room is beautiful! Love the framed scarf and murano chandy there!
ReplyDeletenice. my suzani needs a frame. but it's so big, ikea or target don't have frames big enough. and custom is out of the question. any ideas where i can get a fairly large, odd shaped frame for very little money?
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to do this with an Hermes scarf but knew it would cost me. I should keep my eye out for others though, yours look beautiful I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteI don't but it is such a neat idea
ReplyDeleteXoxoGapGirl
I love your scarf, and the colors are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love Vera Scarves and so does Kate Spade. Great post!
ReplyDeletesuper great idea- Love it! And scarfs have a way of adding so much happiness and color.
ReplyDeletelooks gorgeous! off to a flea market today, just added scarves to my list, thanks!
ReplyDeleteglad to know others have those darn "safe" places...............sigh..............
This is such a cool idea. I've framed block printed textiles that my aunt brought me back from Egypt to make a kind of framed textile "quilt" on a particularly broad stretch of blank wall, but never scarves. I have a gorgeous one of no discernible pedigree that my mom found in Paris when she was a teenager. I had no idea what to do with it, so it's been stacked in my closet for years and years.... until now! Great idea - thanks!
ReplyDeleteI totally have some Vera scarves. Project time!
ReplyDeleteYesterday I was at an antique store and lo and behold, right in front of me, 8 gorgeous vintage Vera scarves! Needless to say...I bought them all!
