And a gal’s gotta need knights now and then, right? Bien sur! LOLOLOLOL I’ll remember to take a pic. Thing is that it’s perfect for the joustings at the Ren Faires and I’m always in garb!
This is sensational! I guess that the key is finding similar CWs and it works
Thank you for another great intro!Good morning fellow Scarfians! Stripe week was as much fun as I thought it would be and I was so happy to see so many posting and playing in the striped scarf box.
Now it’s time to move on to this week’s theme which is so fascinating to me. The Rybaltchenkos! We’re going with both father and son so hopefully more people want to play. I only have 4 so I’ll be doing more cheering than showing!
8 Jul 2018 RYBALTCHENKOS FOR THE WIN: Vladimir and/or son Dimitri
Vladimir Rybaltchenko was Philippe Le Doux’s great nephew while Dimitri is Vladimir’s son. So you could say being a scarf artist pretty much runs in the family.
Among some of Vladimir’s designs you may know or have are the lovely British Heraldry (I didn’t know that!), Ich Dien (hello @xincinsin), Fleurs et Carlines, Cavaliers d’Or, Orchidee (paging @Croisette7), Souvenirs d’Asie and Tutankhamun.
Of course, I’m also very fond of Dmitiri though I only came to H once the Super H/Space Shopping fury occurred. But perhaps you have something in your collection prior to that like Au Gre du Vent, Cheval Surprise, Galop Chromatique, Magic Kelly, the lovely Offandes d’Un Jour, Peinture Fraiche or Please, Check In.
Here are (exactly half!) of mine.

Super H (Minuit au Faubourg) gav with striped shirt to cross us over. Actually, I haven't even gotten through all my striped shirts, so you'll be seeing MORE stripes from me.

Let’s see ‘em!
I love both! Beautiful on you
You have the absolute best outdoor shots with your scarves... Wow!
All spectacular... I’m intensely jealous of both your Avant Toutes, BTW
Oh, big congrats! This is one of the CWs that I want to see. Only one came to my store. It is striking! Would love to see it tied
All fab, but the way you tied the ZP is spectacular!
Magnificent!(off SOTD theme)
In celebration of the safe rescue of all the boys and their soccer coach from the cave in Thailand!!!

Can Sous la Cedre be more beautiful! It is a dream!
It can also work even of the two scarves are quite different. Its fun to experiement!
Someone said last week that she has striped tees because of SOTD. I bought a striped tee for the same reason.Such great photos, Fifi! I remember going to the Scythian gold exhibit when it was at the Met. Was it in the 80s? I only got one pin, though. You own a terrific collection of pieces.
Thank you so much! No, i was just fresh out of high school so it was in 1975-6. I remember hearing about it but I was starting college and couldn’t go. But I received the Met Museum catalog back then and ordered the torque necklace the minute I saw it. It was the first piece I got. Amazing that the electroplating is perfect after 40 years! And I’ve worn the torque like crazy for 4 decades!Such great photos, Fifi! I remember going to the Scythian gold exhibit when it was at the Met. Was it in the 80s? I only got one pin, though. You own a terrific collection of pieces.
Yes, the electroplating didn't wear off perhaps b/c the price of gold had been $35/oz for quite a while prior to your graduation. Vintage costume jewelry can be pretty nice that way. Fifi, let us see what you look like with the torque on?
I have a pic that shows only the scarf close to my throat with the torque. I’ll try to find it and will take a better pic maybe tomorrow. True what you say about the price of gold
@ABQ2ATL mentioned the Dmitri connection in a post in June last year (with photo!). You can Identikit him, Elaine
This is a dangerous place to be... I know I hit BIN several times because a fellow silkie here drew my attention to a scarf that I'd never previously considered.
