It IS really beautiful. I’m a scarf person. In fact, I did a double take when I saw the subject in your essay just now, because I literally just spent a half hour poking around online trying to find the replacement for a favorite scarf my sister bought for me a couple of years ago. It disappeared last fall when I was on a trip to the desert. I called every hotel and restaurant where I wore that scarf, but to no avail. I think I figured out the maker of the scarf but not the exact duplicate. I decided to order one that has a very similar color palette and theme. It’s even being shipped from the UK. Fortunately it’s not expensive. I know it won’t be the same, but hoping it fills the hole the old one left.

Museum gift shop scarves are the best! I'm wearing a William Morris print one right now, in fact.

Perhaps you can address the repair work as a gift to yourself--either do it yourself or find someone else to do it?
