Just a heads up, just two of Maria’s vintage and quite beautiful summer scares remain and are up for sale on her Etsy Page. They cost $65.00 plus shipping. The first, above, is the iconic and touching 1959 Calendar scarf, made out of vintage and dated 1959 hankies.

The second scarf below is also made from some beautiful and heartwarming hankies from that time. Seeing the wonderful work those women did lifts the soul; this is Maria’s way of honoring them. Artists had to find a way to do their art.

Both are for sale on Maria’s Etsy Page, the last one of 10 or 12 she made last week.

These scarves are not only special but also evocative, unique, and deeply relatable to the mothers, grandmothers, and friends of the past—to memories that ought not to be lost.

They are a creative tribute to the artists who came before us, many of whom were limited to sewing by a suffocating culture. This is a unique history. You can see them and buy them on Maria’s Etsy Page.
