The Most Luxurious Kitsch Scarves by Karen Mabon BLACK FRIDAY SALE

I’ve been refreshing the Karen Mabon store since last Friday, well, because I thought last Friday was Black Friday.  

Karen designs the most ‘me’ scarves imaginable, and I love that she does a Black Friday sale, so I can bombard my parents with not so subtle hints to which print I would like from Santa this year.

The scarves are finest silk and cashmere, which means they are investment pieces for the quirky of us who would prefer a fancy dress dog print scarf to a posh handbag.

I truly think Karen’s pieces will only increase in price over the years, I’ve even got one of her scarves framed in my bedroom.

So get over to the sale and snap up a bargain!

My One Black Friday Shout Out: Free Shipping & Free Mystery Gifts on The Hand Drawn Creative's Etsy this Weekend

I think I'm turning into a grumpy old woman, as the Black Friday offers have rolled into my inbox all week, for  the day after our non-existent Thanksgiving, they've gone straight in the electronic 'trash can'. They didn't have Black Friday in my day!

I decided to give one small business a special Black Friday shoutout, and that's Neal at Hand Drawn Creative. He's my fellow mid-century loving, Bangorian, and I'm ever in his debt blog post wise as he made my The World of Kitsch banner heading for me for free.

Before you accuse me of being one of those pains in the arses of the creative collect, I did NOT ask Neal to throw something together for free, he actually approached me with the design he took upon himself to doodle up one day. Of course I adore it! I've had it printed on various things including chocolate and my own t-shirt!

 As you can see from the top image there is free shipping all weekend, and free mystery gifts.

Neal's store has a variety of prints in different genres, but my absolute favourite is the range of renderings of 70s & 80s Fisher Price toys. We kept some in my parents' attic, and I bought some at car boot sales such as the boat bus in this print.

We already had Smix when these prints came out, but my brother & wife are expecting their first child, so I've sent them a selection of the prints for their home.  

Take a look and take advantage of the Black Friday weekend.
