Dawn gave us the challenge...and it was a challenge...to depict on a card something that we collect other than our stamping supplies.
This was a stumper for me. I collect crystal paperweights......didn't have any appropriate stamps, punches, etc. for this. Then I decided to depict my collection of hand-screened, French silk scarves. I've collected them for about 30 years. To me they are "art". My collection has "closed"...with the poor value of the US dollar vs. the euro. I have a few duplicates of the little booklets that would come out every season to show their newly released or rereleased designs. So I cut a few pages out of them to show the scarves. That is what you see in the photographs. Since the flagship store is in Paris, I added the Eiffel Tower.
