Period/retro fashion scarves (and hats) to good home

My elderly aunt has recently and abruptly had to move into a nursing home, and I'm helping out with breaking down her apartment. I found her trove of scarves, which she no longer wants. I suspect they're something somebody would love. They're very 1960s-to-1980s, bright colors, bold patterns, some I think silk. Also ribbons and sashes.

If that hypothetical person exists and is reading LJ, and replies very soon, the whole sack of them is theirs for the asking - but you have to take the lot.

ETA: just found her hat collection. I had no idea. These are also free for the asking.

Davis square area pickup.

I know people who would be delighted to own some of either. But I suspect you'd also do well to bring either or both to one of the local vintage/consignment shops.

I'd love to have the scarves! I can pick up this weekend, Saturday or Sunday, whatever works for you.

HATS! I will gladly take all the hats, and any of the accessories that others do not want. I do theatrical costuming, and dress myself like a madman. They will actually get used!

Possibly I can shanghai a car, but more likely I'll just arrive with a large suitcase and some light packing to keep them from being squished. I can certainly come get them Saturday; you can send the address to miss.arabella.flynn at gmail dot com. I live on the Red, so I'll probably just hike over from the Davis Square stop.

Wow ... I'd love two or three scarves, but not the whole lot (which sounds like it's spoken for, anyway)

Ron, I think I speak for the masses when I say I'd love to see you rocking a bold silk scarf. :-)
