I love to travel and for my travels I have a checklists of things I should have with me while I am on the road. Silk scarf is a "must have" for traveling. In this post let me explain you why.

Silk scarf keeps you warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather


That’s just a quality of silk. Say, you are in Uzbekistan in late August. It is really hot during the day but by 8 pm you would want something warm around your shoulders. That’s when a silk scarf comes handy.

Or, let’s say you are in Venice. When you are walking on a mainland the temperature is perfect, but when you travel by canal boats it gets windy. You will be glad to have something to cover your neck with.

Outdoors is life! Outdoors is especially fun and enjoyable in summer. Patio and garden design services have seen an increase in demand over the last year. Quite a few of us will come out of the pandemic with outdoor decorating skills. The same is true with gardening.

"Gardening may be a rare positive trend to emerge from the crippling pandemic, said Diane Blazek, executive director of the U.S. industry group National Garden Bureau."

Since our patios and gardens are where we spend most of our outdoor time it is important to surround ourselves with beautiful and quality textiles. This is where our ikat outdoor pillows are irreplaceable decor items.
