Vera Vault -- Sash-ay Away!

I'm presenting you today with a various selection of sash style scarves from Vera's designs.  These long, skinny scarves are so wearable, either just around the neck or tied in the hair.  Enjoy!

Vera Vault - Everything's Coming Up Roses...and Daisies

A Vera floral is about as classic "Vera" as you can get.  It's strange, but even though her flowers weren't always the same, she has a style that is pretty instantly recognizable, once you've seen her portfolio of prints.  At this point, when I'm looking through bins in thrift shops and antique stores, I can pull the Vera out almost blindfolded.  That's not to say she doesn't still surprise me!  Her florals, though, are so signature for her.  And I love every single one of them!

Vera Vault -- Hello, Yellow!

I have multiple bags of Vera scarves waiting to be photographed for "Vera Vault" posts.  Before I photograph them, I have to steam each one.  I usually try to steam several while I am steaming scarves to list in our Etsy shop.  I always try to come up with a theme for my posts, and this time, as I reached my hand into the bag to grab a scarf, I grabbed a yellow plaid Vera.  




Then, I reached in, without looking, and grabbed this yellow floral sheer Vera:



Next, a yellow geometric:



I was beginning to sense a trend.  So I looked in a bag and pulled out a yellow abstract scarf:



Another yellow-ish floral: 



Another yellow geometric:



And lastly, another yellow-ish (and many other colors) floral:



I just love that Vera never limited herself to just one style.  Florals, plaids, geometrics, abstracts, figurals -- she did it all.  Who knows what I'll pull out of the bag next time!
