If we lived in New York City, I would have to take my 11-year-old to the American  Museum of Natural History to see the Origami Tree. Amazing.

Cute scarves at the Gap

I would love to wear more scarves and dress up the jeans/tee ensemble. The rules? Has to be versatile and not too itchy. These rules have eliminated more potential purchases than you could imagine, but I think either of these two options could make a nice beginning to my scarf “fashion” collection. (You cannot count the public radio fleece scarf I wear to walk the dog. Boring but warm!)
