“Generally, I’m not much of a hoarder.  I don’t know why people collect buttons, biscuit tins or model cars.  I do know why I collect scarves.  I love colours and textures.  Colours in particular influence or enhance my moods.  For me, scarves are sensuous creatures.  They add elegance and even glamour, a touch of the exotic to the ordinary.  And while some people carry a talisman or good luck charm for confidence, I wear scarves.  By putting the right one on, I’m certain zi can do anything, and have.  I look at mine hanging on the hat stand and folded in the cupboard and I can remember where they came from and the when and why they came to live with me.  If books, for me, are like old and dear friends, then so too are my scarves.”
