Amazing Scarves at Earthlover

Had a fun day of shopping with visiting family in Thomasville, Ga yesterday and hit my favorite store, Earthlover, first.  That fair trade store has so many amazing items from 64 countries.  I mentioned in a previous blog that their display of scarves form all over the world was fantastic.  Yesterday I finally picked one out for myself, although it took me a while to choose.  So colorful and made by craftspeople who need the work and can make a living instead of being on the street.  Here is the one I picked out:

I highly recommend checking out the Earthlover store in Thomasville or visit their website, www.earthlovershopping.com for some fantastic gift ideas!

Beautiful Scarves

Last week I posted a blog about using scarves to accessorize an outfit and, if you look at the outfits I have put together on Polyvore, you will see that often I include a scarf.  It is a quick way to add color and pizzazz to any ensemble.  I am always on the lookout for stores with colorful and unique scarves.  Well, I found that store last week in Thomasville, Ga. - it is called EarthLover.  Find it online at www.earthlovershopping.com.  Tammy was kind enough to give me a tour of the store - filled with fair trade and eco-friendly items from 42 different countries.  I was particularly drawn to the jewelry and scarves.  The scarves are incredibly beautiful and unusual.  They each have a story. check these out

 

All kinds of fabrics - even some made from Indian saris.  Be sure and make a trip to Thomasville to look at these scarves and see the store.  Or go online to shop.

P.S.  The jewelry was amazing, too.  I bought a beautiful Guatemalan bracelet for a friend's birthday and couple of bracelets for myself!

 

Go Wild with an Animal Print Scarf!

Did you ever have a day when you felt down in the dumps and decide that a trip to the mall might perk you up?  Well, today was that day for me.  Had to pick up a french press coffee pot for my husband (because I broke his over the weekend), so I made my way to Penneys first.  I have been looking for an animal print scarf for myself (I love adding a scarf to an outfit!), so I cruised by their accessories department.  They did have a large number of really pretty scarves and found one for $15.  Here is one I found at Chico's for $49 which I love, so there is a large range of prices you can pay for an accessory that will perk up an solid color dress, suit or blouse.  I like it with red, black, brown, gold, white - you name it!
