I have been a big fan of Laurel Burch's designs for longer than I care to admit. I am so happy to own three of her gorgeous scarves. I love the theme of this one... we need more harmony in the world, don't we? I wonder if many people know of her inspirational story. She overcame tremendous disadvantages in her life (often painting from her bed) yet you would never know it from the vibrancy of her artwork. Unfortunately, she passed away about five years ago at the way too early age of 62. But she achieved more in those years than most of us. Wear this beautiful scarf when you are feeling down, it will cheer you up! As with all my scarves, silk or otherwise, I soak them in warm water and towel dry with a very light touchup with the iron.
