In which she raves about her most recent Etsy purchase

Lara of Lalouka Designs is a staunch supporter of the local vintage and handmade scene, and the scene is enriched by her skill and artless prettiness.   I've been peeking in on her Etsy shop regularly and had a lightning bolt moment when I came across this llama print scarf (it's reversible!):

Letters almost launched from my keyboard in my haste to fire off the purchase request!  A few days later I was the proud owner of my first Lalouka creation!   Now, I'm shortish, so can't usually pull off over-sized prints but somehow this one works beautifully.   I wear it with a bright turquoise coat, and whenever I look down and see the llamas it makes me smile.
