This is an item from the past. If my memory is correct, the story about this scarf goes like this. It was given to Dad by a "dudene" who had come to the dude ranch in Sunlight in the late 1920's. He was pretty smitten with her, but it turned out to be a summer romance. When Dad met Mother, he gave her the scarf. She used to wear it tied around her head with her hair in a knot at the back of her head.. Later, when I was in high school, and it was the fashion to wear a small scarf knotted at the neck of your blouse or sweater, I inherited the scarf, and wore it for many years. As you can see, it is shredded at the edge, and now is only good for a memento of the past.

If you hadn't written this post, no one would have ever known the significance of that old, faded scarf. I do remember you wearing it with your cardigan sweater that went everywhere with you. I am always amazed at the power pull items from the past have.
I'm with Judy. I had no idea this scarf had such a history. What fun it is to know "the rest of the story". Thank you. I am equally amazed you still have the scarf. It is amazing what survives the years of moving, cleaning out the unnecessary stuff, and just plain disappearing.
