You won't believe how happy I am to have fibnally got this scarf. For me, this is the Holy Grail of Tootal scarves.
At first glance, it's a normal paisley pattern:
But then, you take a closer look and Wow! Horse racing scenes:
This is now my all time favourite scarf. I can't tell you how happy I am with it!
I first saw it on Ebay six months ago. But it kept being advertised at a way too high price and remained unsold month after month. Then another one came up for sale, at a much lower price. But i just missed out. Then the original one was readvertised at a lower price. i just had to buy it. I paid way more than i woould normally pay - but then my pleasure with the scarf is so-much greater.
Didn't spot that one on Ebay....been collecting Tootal for many years.Once I get my post count up i will put up some pictures of my Tootal print Rayon short sleeve shirts.Maybe we were bidding against each other on ebay - and sent the price higher than either of us would have wanted!
It's great isn't it? I hardly ever wear it. I like to save it for special occasions. I know that if I ever see another (one at a reasonable price) I will buy it - just in case.
