    I wish I had found you about 9 months ago before my mother died. She would have adored your sense of humor and delivery but mostly, she too, was a fan of the tassel. She had an eye for design and a flair for embellishment. Thank you for being!

    This was an unexpectedly delightful moment in my day. No idea why it was recommended to me, maybe that tassel lamp I googled 3 months ago??? But I'm glad it was!

    Interestingly, in French a tassel is a « gland » which means acorn. In ancient civilisations the acorn was a symbol of life, as in the cycle of renewal of life (an acorn in the ground becomes a new tree). So tassels = life , I don’t make the rules

      + "gland" in French is a euphemism, which confirms the writer's story

    I WAS going to disagree about the pompoms = tassels statement the author claimed. But with deeper consideration, pompoms basically come in 2 types: the Poof type and Droopy/flowing type. The latter does in fact resemble a tassel. The author is right. She’s a pro.

    Have you heard of the string skirts? Some of the earliest fiber clothing we have from Europe. They were essentially skirts of tassels. It's theorized they were worn to attract the attention of the opposite sex.

    Nothing sets off a shoe like a good leather tassel. If the shoe’s tassel’s bottom is bound, wrapped or in any way closed, it is imperative to cut through the material to allow the tassel tendrils to flower freely. An open tassel end, curled in response to its exposure to the natural elements, is a thing of beauty with a majesty and personality all its own. At least in my Tao since early childhood.

    We love Nancy Welch!!! She's from FL or NC or something and had a TV show for a while... If it's the right woman I'm thinking of? She's like the OG Marth Stewart, but without the prison time. There's this one episode where she guest starred on Tammy Faye and Joanne's show
