 Vera 

Vera Neumann (born Vera Salaff, July 24, 1907 – June 15, 1993) was an American artist and entrepreneur best known for her boldly colored linen patterns and scarves signed "Vera".

Her designs in the 60-'s and 70's  were a rage.

Now they are super collectable and featured

in museums!

She made her first scarves out of recycled parachute material during WWII

due to lack of materials during the war.

I have come to appreciate her artistry more and more as I 

age.  ; )

Here's more of her glorious designs.

Enjoy!!!

Later, she also did aprons, kitchen towels, hot pad holders, etc. 

People are making things out of her scarves now....

I didn't appreciate her as much when a youngster!

I now find her scarves in thrift stores, and

I love them!

She also painted.

There is a book about her.

All of this color is so wonderful.

(sigh)

Let's get jiggy wit it!  ; )

mmmmmmmmmmm....Jose.

I remembered you cuz my sister Nancy and I use to 

dance with scarves and listen to your songs really loud

when our parents went out to dinner on

Wednesday nights. 

Wish I could see that now.

(tee hee....)

Have an exceptional Thursday,

my yummy friends and family.

Love to you all!
