Full weekly 2024 scarf-theme calendar is available here
Outstanding!!! That cw is especially beautiful on you and the literary reference is wonderfulGood morning!
What a wonderful week of gorgeous scarves worn and brilliant musical connections made.
Today not a particular melody or neither a pun from me but a reflection on the existence of musique and poetry at large.
From Danish author Hans Chr Andersen’s story “The Phoenix Bird” from 1850 (English translation by Jean Hersholt) :
“Phoenix bird! Don't you know him? The bird of paradise, the holy swan of song? He sat on the car of Thespis, like a chattering raven, flapping his black gutter-stained wings; the swan's red, sounding beak swept over the singing harp of Iceland; he sat on Shakespeare's shoulder, disguised as Odin's raven, and whispered, "Immortality!" into his ear; and at the minstrels' feast he fluttered through the halls of the Wartburg.
Phoenix bird! Don't you know him? He sang theMarseillaise to you, and you kissed the feather that fell from his wing; he came in the glory of paradise, and perhaps you turned away from him toward the sparrow that sat with gold tinsel on its wings.” (Read the rest on https://andersen.sdu.dk/vaerk/hersholt/ThePhoenixBird.html)
So now, with the weekend rising from the fuming ashes of the week I wear my Mythiques Phoenix as sotd

Wish you all a soaring weekend!
Thanks for saying that about your experience w Acte III in that cw. I felt the same. I love the colors but didn’t wear it at almost all because I didn’t find the right knot and it felt like too much… Now, I’ll wear it!….. Also, in regards to your other comment on my photo w huge stack of H boxes, I’m happy to share pics of what’s inside. 😄🙌Very sweet of you to say @Helena7-- as for the Acte III really only works with just a fold because it is so colorful (but wonderfully so!). I am your twin also with the blue Orphee and wore it on Tuesday but did not post--- I love the vignettes you showed!
OMG-- this is terribly dangerous @HermesEchidna! A Scarfie Parlor Game-- create a band title from your scarf design... I adore the BBourg corners also!
This dip dye is gorgeous @Croisette7-- and for our theme...thinking Samba or The Girl from Ipanema...
That Maxfield Parrish is astonishing @Karenska!
I am so glad you found one! The artwork on this is amazing to me @mktlim. And your mom's favorite song suits it perfectly.
The Mystère au 24 is very charming @Jereni. Love your stack-- so very pretty.
Gorgeous! Scarf sisters on Carnaval!Oh my!! I’m having so much fun here reading all the posts and looking at beautiful scarves that last night I couldn’t fall asleep for hours, cause I was so so happy and ‘scarf high’ 🤪🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣thinking about everyone’s scarves, colors and patterns!
I’m still learning how to reply to many in one post, so I’m not posting too much.
But here are my music scarves for today's post:
W.A Mozart scarf and 3 different cw’s of Carnival! I had to have them all. 😇🤣I bought yellow border one in Paris a year ago, then pink at the duty free months later and black border / blue Im wearing today in SF boutique, because I’m so pretty 😻. Oh my! I’m so high on this beauty! They make me so happy.
Happy scarf time , dear ladies 🥰🙌

Thank you Croisette!So pretty, bunnycat!
Wow, that is an amazing scarf-on-site @Helena7!!! I would love to see green/white Eleftheria on you! It is so helpful and inspirational to see how people style their silks!Thanks for saying that about your experience w Acte III in that cw. I felt the same. I love the colors but didn’t wear it at almost all because I didn’t find the right knot and it felt like too much… Now, I’ll wear it!…..

I loved your and someone else’s pic of 140 Elefteria in green / white. Isn’t it gorgeous? 😍😍 I couldn’t decide between green/ white and blue/ pink so I got both.
It’s funny but when I was in Vienna museum last August and I was wearing Elefteria blue/ pink cw, I realized when standing in front of Chagall painting that the cw of the scarf matched the painting so much that I felt like I was a part of it.
I am thinking any kind of musical march @violetkool! Love these colors...WFH Friday but I am sparing you all my usual Astrologie dip-dye throw on and chosen Epaulettes de Gala twilly instead. Apologies, I have no spoons left for song choosing!

I love both your large and small scarf/music choices @Maedi. Such wonderful colors in your Botanica and that bandana is lovely (but I am on BANdana Island!!!!)And every song or melody has a key. Les clés bandana.

Finally have a song pairing - gonna break out the T Swift here. Pantin City and its cars and urban vibe remind me a bit of Cornelia Street. This song is such a perfect encapsulation of being unexpectedly in love. The lyrics in the first verse still make me catch my breath every time I hear them.
———
We were in the backseat,
drunk on something stronger than
the drinks at the bar
‘I rent a place on Cordelia Street,’
I say casually in the car
We were a fresh page on the desk
filling in the blanks as we go
As if the street lights pointed in an arrowhead
leading us home
And I hope I never lose you,
I hope it never ends.
I’d never walk Cornelia St again
That’s the kind of heartbreak
time could never mend.
I’d never walk Cornelia St again
And baby I’m so mystified by
how this city screams your name…
And baby I’m so petrified of
if you ever walk away
I’d never walk Cornelia St again
Never walk Cornelia St again

Thank you @Croisette7-- I think it is a pretty cw-- very wearable. I have a weakness for Hermès "self-referential" designs that feature the store! This was a funny also (Flagship=Mothership)Thank you, bunnycat!
It's very pretty on you!
Thank you, LKB ... I hope it comes very soon to you!
