Overnight we finally finished the first iteration of our instructions for folding and tying our four in hand knot on our silk scarves. Now, there must be one hundred and fifty ways to use a silk scarf, from knots to face coverings, to tops. But this is how I get the most practical and fashionable use out of them and it is a good start. So, buckle up, time to clear the dining room table and flatten out your scarf face down and practice practice practice... until it is like riding a bike.

Anyway, he got his first scarf from us, our Alpine stamps scene from the back country. A beautiful scarf, and I needed him to have something very Australian, it was either that one or the idyllic of Tony T scarf, and I was waiting to see how he might pair it. He sent these to me today. So impressed. It’s like if John Wayne had a love child and shipped him off to Australia to learn how to drove. 

I am not entirely sure we will go in for the Black Friday sales and what not. For me there isn’t much spirit behind it, whereas, by contrast, Christmas resonates with me because I love gift giving. Anyone that comes to the Studio knows how much I love to add in little treats for people, sometimes at the beginning of the appointment, just so that you know I am not waiting to see how much money you spend before I offer you something. Giving generously is something I learned from my father when I grew up working in his pharmacy, he was renowned for helping people like that, little old ladies who needed a bandage for their foot sores, the child who got some jelly beans whilst they waited patiently for their mother to fill her script and so on.
