HOLY COWL?!

What's COWL?

 

COWLS originally refer to catholic monk's hooded garment.

In my favorite movie, "The Name of the Rose", those monks were wearing COWLS.

Today COWLS often mean tubular knitted scarves.

They are the winter staple among women and men in NYC.

Here's my version of COWLS.

Chunky hand knit with  antique duffle toggle.

It can be worn as Scarf or Hood.

 FINDING THE LOCAL

Finding antique buttons is such exting work, especially when I run into unused old buttons on cards. I feel so happy to find use for them, otherwise they would be forgotten somewhere.

These buttons were marked MADE IN USA and are from the 1950~60's.
One shows a button manufactured in N.J. ( Does anybody know this company?)
The price of the buttons was only 45 cents. Now they will become a part of Relation Bracelets and shine under the sun once again!
