I recently bought some items designed by my friend Yamini (she who is living it up in Scotland with a certain teddy). A lovely clock and a scarf.
I am not a scarf person. Never was. So, why I bought it, I don't know. But now I have it, it actually looks quite good. I love the colours (which led me to buy it in the first place) and it feels quite cool around my neck amazingly.
There was one thing nagging me though: the label is quite big and sticky-out. And I wanted to cut it off. Until I read the German text: Handwäsche, nicht bleichen, nicht chemisch reinigen, nicht im Trockner trocknen, nicht bügeln, keine Hüte essen.
Hold on, what was that last bit??? Where's the English version?
Hand wash only; do not bleach; do not dry clean; do not tumble dry; do not iron; do not eat hats.
Yes, I had read it right! Do not eat hats. And it doesn't only say so in German and English, but also in French and Spanish (where it's called sombreros which I find even funnier).
Anyway, I bought a scarf. I like the scarf. I like the label now as well. And I promise: I won't eat hats!

ReplyDeleteLOL... yes, all the RedBubble stuff comes with little words of wisdom attached!!! The teeshirt I got recently advised me not to chase pandas.
Glad you are liking the scarf...the labels I do cut off - and store in a little plastic baggy in the kitchen drawer. The scarfs are actually my favourite item. The design you bought is called "The Duck Danced The Polka"... it was a photograph of a duck's back feathers which I played around with in my art program - hence it danced around to create this! YAM xx
That's a clever idea of cutting them off, but saving them. Mind you, there is so much saving going on at times, it gets a bit busy in the closets.
DeleteAs for the Duck who danced the Polka, it's the colours that drew me to it and I have worn it all weekend now. It goes with so many different shirts and it's quite unobtrusive (although I do take it off before meals, don't want to get it spoiled now).
I am not sure when I last wore a scarf.
ReplyDeleteSo you have bought a hat eating scarf! Nice one.
ReplyDeleteIt had better not, I would be too afraid to wear a hat in that case!
DeleteOh how funny! Maybe I'll read this to Oma and see how she interprets it.
ReplyDeleteAnd it made for a good blogpost as well.
DeleteIt was like staying through all the credits and finding the funny outtakes at the end of a movie!
ReplyDeleteI love those. Or crazy credits, like they sometimes do at Simpsons' episodes.
DeleteVery pretty scarf. The label is cute too! I never like the big labels on my scarfs. Yes I have scarfs but seldom where them!
