To My Dearest SS- I need Help!

When we got home yesterday evening- I saw that Andrew's parents put your package under your Christmas tree! I would have stopped to take a picture, but I was too quick in ripping into the box like a little girl on Christmas Morning.

I loved the treasures I discovered in my box!

As you can see- my wallflower is already plugged in. It's both beautiful and functional!
 
What you probably didn't know...was that my dad must be using this exact same scent in my family home in California. I was delighted to have a reminder of home just as soon as I left! For those who are wondering, Winter smells like "a festive holiday blend of shimmering pine, orange clove, crisp bay leaf and warm winter woods."
 

But here is the most fabulous part of my gift- Check out this gorgeous scarf: 


The brooch is STUNNING: 


So SS...Here is where I need your help. Since I'm a fashion idiot....What's the best way for me to wear my scarf?

Also- did you make this scarf? It's so pretty...I love the two different materials. They are feminine and fun!

I love my gifts VERY much. Thank you so so much!

    That brooch & the scarf are really really beautiful!!  

    Who was it???  I'm dying to know if the scarf is homemade.

    I did make the scarf :)... Yours was my most intricate one I've made, but I think it came out nice. I would wrap it around your neck 3 times and then pin the broach to one side near your collar bone. With the lace detail it probably wont be all that warm, but it should be stylish and not too warm to wear indoors. Also, the "Winter" scent is my favorite and totally reminded me of winter in Colorado (though I've never been there in winter, its what I'd imagine it would smell like) lol

    So glad you like everything!!!!

    ETA: As soon as I got your name I knew exactly what the scarf would look like and which broach i would choose. I keep several nice ones I've collected at antique malls and what not in a jewelry box for gifts when I make a scarf and I just knew it would be perfect for you!

    Yay CCO! When I saw the scarf I thought it might be you, because I know you have made awesome scarfs like this! Do you have a picture of you in a scarf like this so I know what the final result should be? LOL.

    Yay!

    It's so neat...because when I loop it around my neck- you can really see the two different types of frabic. It's SOOO cool! I'll have to see how it looks with only two wrap arounds.

    You can wash it and hang it to dry if it gets dirty being off white and all.
