  11. Don't know how you always make things look so chic,easy...but love it that you do! Thank you for another great video tutorial. I have a feeling there will be a few more MT 'shrugged' ladies gracing the streets this Xmas! This merry group gathered here will be recognizable as such! I am going to be on the lookout;) I can only imagine the wonderful smells coming from chez MT once you don your apron! Wishing you and all of the ladies gathered here a Xmas filled with light and love and of course H dreams come true! Warm hugs, T xx

  13. I have no more to add, you are so generous and gracious in sharing ideas and spending time making such excellent films to enable us.
    I'm not very good at showing a lot of scarf so I shall take the plunge when entertaining here at home . I see your shrugs are muted or dark colours that blend into the outfit without shouting .
    I was wondering about a brighter colour against black as I don't have neutral scarves .

    1. A brighter colored scarf will be stunningly beautiful, dear Estrella!

  14. I haven't seen this look before, but love it! As you say, it really does display the beautiful designs of the scarves. I agree that the new way of knotting it is more elegant and simple.

    I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas dear MaiTai, and just to say that I will be thinking of you at this time.

    PS: I'm so glad that you liked my suggestion about a muffler! :)
