i just had to...

i don't even know how i stumbled upon this scarf....

but when i did....it was screaming my name.

made in france (of all fabulous places) for j.l. hudsons

with detroit landmarks sketched all over it's pretty pinkness

i'm from detroit....grew up there

and i loved hudson's department store

and have so many great memories connected to the place.

loved eating in the restaurant on the top floor (a really big treat).

i'm certain the blue twirly dress I got for my birthday in first grade came from hudsons
so did my red mary janes....
and I marched right to the little girls accessories

with all of my third grade birthday money

to buy a panda bear ring and a panda face purse

and other assorted panda goodness.

i went back to school shopping in 5th grade with my grandmother

and got the most smashing green houndstooth pants with matching green turtleneck
.

i could go on and on....and guess that i have

.

...so many memories

all tied up in a pretty pink scarf

....that's on it's way to me
