Infinity Scarves

Scarves are very versatile accessories. They can dress up an outfit. They can add a layer of warmth. And they can show off your personal style.

Most scarves are made with long strips of some kind of fabric. These are open on the ends. But there is a style of scarf where those ends are connected, giving you a tube. These are infinity scarves.

They can be warm...


(Like these from Chewsy By Design and Simpletruths.)  

Or fine...  

(Like these from Murielle Knitwear and Ardent Reverie.)

Or textured...  
(Like these from It's me, Mary and Button Tree.)

Or something that makes a statement...



(Like these from Nikifashion and foothill fibers n' photo.)

Whatever they are, they are not your typical scarf.  

This post contributed by Liz from Zizi Rho Designs, who was cold today and who kind of wished she had worn a scarf.

Spotlight on....

Welcome to our new series "Spotlight On..." where we meet and learn more about each other. Some questions are shop related and some are fun and quirky. Our first Spotlight brings us to..... 1. Your name and name of your shop(s)? Julia from SimpleTruths 2. Day or night job if you have one. I'm a development editor for a text book company - although right now I'm on maternity leave until April :) 3. Where do you get the inspiration for your designs/shop? Some of my inspiration comes from vintage designs. I like taking vintage styles and turning them into something more modern - like my granny square purse charms. I also just love things that exude coziness.

Finish this sentence "When I grow up..." ...I want to be fearless. Shades of Pink Necklace Crocheted Beaded Necklace/Bracelet Crochet Ring in Bloom 7. Price is Right or Make a Deal?
The Price is right! 8. What makes you smile? Happy people, conversations with strangers, and pretty much everything that comes out of my toddlers mouth. 9. What don't people know about you? I like rearranging my furniture just because. My husband has been known to go out for just a moment and almost trip over the couch trying to get back in the house! 10. How many hours do you spend a day searching for stuff on Etsy?
....I have *NO* idea what you're talking about ;)
Hope you enjoyed this Spotlight On... Thanks to Julia for sharing and creating such gorgeous pieces!
