The Cheryl

Some people have a presence so warm and full of light that their impact lingers long after they’ve left the room. Cheryl Phillips was one of those rare souls. She moved through life with effortless grace, radiating kindness and making everyone around her feel seen, valued, and deeply loved. As a devoted mother, wife, grandmother, and friend, she had an unmatched ability to bring people together, to make any space feel like home, and to lift others up with just a few thoughtful words.

The Cheryl Scarf is a tribute to this extraordinary woman—a woman who embodied both elegance and strength, who faced life’s ups and downs with resilience and an unwavering belief that the best was always ahead. The design is filled with details that reflect who she was. The birds symbolize freedom and grace, with four representing her children, each carrying a piece of her love and wisdom. The fifth bird, crowned in gold, represents Cheryl herself, the guiding force in their lives. The patterns are intricate and layered, much like the depth of her character—soft yet strong, delicate yet powerful. The neutral tones evoke the quiet sophistication she carried so effortlessly, while touches of warmth and movement throughout the design mirror the energy and love she poured into every moment.

The layers of patterns and textures invite you to explore the depth and beauty in every inch of the fabric, reminiscent of the layers of Cheryl's personality that revealed more warmth and wisdom with every interaction.

The words on the scarf read, “Onward and upward, darling”—one of Cheryl’s favorite sayings—a nod to her unyielding spirit, her refusal to dwell on setbacks, and her eternal optimism that the best is always ahead. This isn’t just a scarf; it’s a legacy and a commitment to carry Cheryl’s spirit with us. It’s also a reminder to laugh loudly, hold your loved ones close, and always move “onward and upward,” just as Cheryl did.

Creating this scarf was a deeply personal process, filled with memories of Cheryl’s laughter, her impeccable taste, and her boundless love for her family and friends. Each element of the design reflects Cheryl’s influence and our shared belief in finding beauty and strength in every layer of life.

So, here’s to you, Cheryl, aka Mama C—we miss you. I know you are up there in heaven calling everyone “darling,” making sure that every table and room is decorated to perfection, and continuing to love and watch over your friends and family as much as ever.

More than just a scarf, this piece carries Cheryl’s spirit. It is a celebration of love, resilience, and the quiet strength found in grace. It’s a reminder to laugh loudly, love deeply, and cherish the people who make life beautiful. In honor of Cheryl, 10% of proceeds from The Cheryl Scarf are donated to PanCan, supporting the fight against pancreatic cancer.

When you wrap yourself in The Cheryl Scarf, let it be a reminder of the strength found in grace and the beauty in balance. This scarf is not just an accessory; it’s a piece of art that celebrates the intricate layers that shape our lives and the special bonds that inspire us.
