Take a good look folks at this wonderful donation from our good friend and supporter, Diana K from Georgia. Hats, Scarves, and an afghan. In order to get it all on the table to photograph you may not be able to see everything well...but please click to enlarge so you can see things in detail. Nice solid colors, red, green, and blue....though I know it looks sorta purple on my computer, it's good old blue folks. Wish I understood why blue's and purple's don't often come through well in pictures here on the net?
The scarves are very nicely sized for adults, both men and women; nice and wide and long enough to wrap up in. Have gotten some pretty small scarves lately folks, so please recheck the scarf tab for the appropriate sizing. Scarves should be no narrower then 4 inches wide and no shorter then 4.5 feet long for children, obviously longer for women and longer still for men. I generally make scarves as tall if not taller then the person so they can be doubled up for warmth. Teens should be as large as adults.
The ghan is red and green, a good ripple and we all love ripples. Stay tuned for a separate picture of it on down the road when I can lay it out in a more appropriate location. Diana also included some personal care items (soap).
Thank you, please keep up the good work of keeping Ohioan's warm from Peach Tree State.

THANK YOU DIANA. I love the solid colors you chose to use. Good old color crayon colors that are good for anyone of any age. You are very thoughtful and this will be a big help to everyone who gets one I am sure. Also an afghan is always a nice addition.
ReplyDeleteIt is 4 degrees in Minnesota this afternoon and that is definitely better then it has been. The winter that never ends it seems. Everyone is struggliing to stay warm, especially those you are helping with your donation. GOOD JOB.
Wonderful donation Diana! I like the pattern you used for the scarves. Got up to 11 today here in MI! It was 1 when I went to work this morning. Cold wind all day. The homeless sure need the warm items this winter.
