Full weekly 2024 scarf-theme calendar is available here
Maybe this will make you feel better. A certain scarfie, that I know pretty well, sold a certain scarf because of a very problematic border. That certain scarfie couldn't quit thinking about the design and color. Five years later, she bought the same scarf again, and had the same problem with the border. Insanity: Doing the same thing over again and expecting a different outcome. You can say to yourself, well at least I am not that stupid. There is a reason rehoming regret is a bingo square.Archive shot of Chacun Fait son Nid, a scarf I bought in this cw and subsequently, to my regret, rehomed to a friend. Then I saw it in a reseller site and bought it again -- a truly humbling moment in any scarf collector's journey...

Thank you 🙏🏾You always look amazing ... with scarves and glasses, dear!
I would definitely love a link to these earrings. Thanks once more, you are great motivation.Once again, beautifully styled! Those frames! There are lovely hoop earrings by Lele Sadoughi that would be their perfect match
Oh! I am so so happy I’ve enabled you on this soft and subtle cw ❤️. I went and counted, and 4 scarves in my collection are directly inspired by you! I am traveling right now so cannot showcase but I think I will keep scratching the « TPF made me do it » box all week 😃Happy Monday everyone and greetings from 30,000 feet! I am making some progress across horizontal line two on my Bingo Card-- View attachment 5984224

And my SOYE is a definite TPF made me do it. I already had Jardin des Peintres in a blue cw which I love. Even so, I could not stop thinking about @FA73's green cw and well, here it is...

Hello twin!!! I'm really lovin' that lip match to scarf!Hello scarf friends. I’ve been MIA from scarflandia for a few weeks - life has been “extra” and I’ve barely been able to keep up with reading, let alone responding. I have a multi-quote that’s filled up, and which I haven’t been able to get to. Thanks to everyone for the likes, loves and nice comments. It means a lot. Our scarf mistresses have been doing a wonderful job as usual and you've all been sharing some beautiful scarves! I think @Cordeliere said it better than I could: please know you have been missed and that a lack of responses doesn’t mean a lack of interest!
A very small contribution to the theme today, and a comforting silk: TR double-face, showing the softer side which I rarely feature.

Not a lot of bingo squares for this one. Twins with our scarf-mistress this week, and triplets (or more) with others. I matched lipstick as closely as I could to the pale pinky-peach in the scarf. The lipstick on its own is actually a great match, but gets a little pinker over my natural lip colour. There’s a gold shimmer to it, so I’m going to say close enough!

Haven’t seen all the posts for today but adding mine quickly for now ~
Today I get to check off ‘parole from Ban Island’ as I was very bad this weekend and grabbed Splash Park! I thought this was going to be a one-scarf season for me, but alas. Also marking the ‘first wear’ Bingo square. I’m thinking I might actually get to claim Bingo at some point this week.

What an amazing find on your Jaguar et Colibri! Congrats on it!Excited to share my scarf mail today. I had missed out on Le Jaguar et ale Colibri when it was available on the US website. I had to swim frantically off ban island when I saw this shawl below retail from a reseller and snapped it up Lickety-split!

The last few days I have been showing some love to my other scarves so they don’t feel abandoned lol 😂 Today was this cute unbranded silk bandanna that is so reminiscent of summer, great for my casual trotting around for chores today in 80+ degrees weather- summer is already here!

I went straight to Jan Bajtlik, designer of Animapolis, Cosmographia, EU, Epopee, Costumes de Fetes and others. I suppose either could work!
Edited to add: I see our dear scarf-mistress has already responded! Perhaps someone has a Bajtlik design they have purchased from Its all Goode?
@bunnycat I always have to check the spelling too. My memory aid is that it reminds me a little of Bashtchelik, a Serbian tale captured in Edmund Dulac’s Fairy Book. It was a childhood favourite. The Dulac illustrations are gorgeous, and the collection of lesser-known fairy stories includes some hauntingly beautiful, and unique, stories. It’s been out of print for many years now, but project Gutenberg has the full text and the illustrations can be found with an internet search.
Here’s one of his illustrations featuring the Firebird, as I recall either @Karenska or @Living.la.vida.fifi has a beautiful hand-painted brooch in the same theme.

This one would make a lovely scarf, I think!
To keep it on theme, an archive Animapolis to check off the Jan B square. It’s a poor quality photo, sorry, but the only one I have on this device.

I can also check the Broke my own scarf rules, for purchasing multiples, and TPF made me do it, because this was most definitely enabled by dear @LKBNOLA . Oh, and triplets (or more) as @Jereni and @Snausages have this one too, as I am sure must a few others

Lookin fab today! Good luck on day 2!
This is a fab neutral! And well, anything with purple on it generally gets a gold star in my book.SOTD is Quand Soudain. This one lies in the “TPF made me do it” as someone posted this many years back and it of course was added to the list. It also hits the “twinsies” square too since I know there is someone out there in TPF Scarflandia that inspired me to track this one down.

HA! Our first Bingo!!! And what a way to go! You definitely have a scarf ring collection and the wrangling skills to go with it!First Bingo of the Week! Adding two chips to my earlier three...

Scarf Ring Wrangler (not sure if this is what was intended but I am outing myself as a scarf ring addict, if not wrangler!!!)
View attachment 5984710
En Liberté! is my SOTD. I asked my SA for this cw based solely on a tiny thumbnail posted early in the seasonal thread and it has not disappointed. It is a go-to travel scarf for me as it works in every season and has so many distinct coordinating and contrasting colors. Today I am giving it a spring vibe with a pale lavender top.

zomg - you are a temptress!!! These are beautiful!
gonna say it again... TEMPTRESS!!!
I love this pale green cw.... currently slapping my hands as I've already got a beauty on the way!
(stay tuned Scarflandia!)
Thank you @Cookiefiend! This "temptress" is tuned in for your Scarf Mail reveal! Can't wait to see! I love this moussie and I am giggling to myself over the fact that I have two hypoallergenic, non-shedding dogs. But that's ok, I shed enough silver hair to mark off this square with no help from a pet!Today’s Bingo card - I’m off to a slow start with just two… and one of those is the free spot!
Pet floof is ever present - Coco is a furry beast especially after a bath, which she had yesterday. ❤️

Ooooh man! That's the worst kind of regret. I'm glad you found it again tho. It's such a pretty scarf. And your new one is certainly worthy of the "tpf made me do it" square! Fantastic!
You look beautiful in both @bunnycat! Truly. (and thank you!)Today's Bingo card update!

I bought a Sur Mon Nuage twilly LAST YEAR and wore it for the first time YESTERDAY (because of the theme!)
View attachment 5984288
And using my Free Space today with Animapolis. (Some of you may remember last year's confusion with the free space/Animapolis.... ) Wait- this one also gets a "Lippy Match to Scarf" square also. I mixed 3 shades to get the red instead of the usual hot pink I wear with this one.

Well, you did a great job and what a wonderful way to add another Poret to your wonderful collection @Redbirdhermes!Today’s scarf was such a bargain (I’m sure the reseller priced it as a 45 rather than a 90) that I purchased it. Normally I avoid adding more baby blue scarves to my collection, as this color seems to have multiplied there, so I have been divesting them. It came dirty and part of the hem was coming unstitched, so it had a bath and I added back a few stitches. Now I have a lovely Xavier de Poret for my collection. And I do adore de Poret.
View attachment 5984302
So this lovely A Propos de Bottes gives me three Bingo squares: On a Color Combo Diet and Broke My Own Scarf Rules for this baby blue beauty, and it was definitely a Scarf Rehabber project. Meanwhile, I’m laughing at @LKBNOLA ’s Chacun Fait son Nid, as her very colorway was one I purchased thanks to TPF, and then divested due to the baby blue color. Do I regret it? Not really, so no Rehoming Badge of Regret for me today.

Oh, congratulations @Jereni! It is lovely-- the colors are perfect and the finesse side on this one is wonderful, too. This is one where the colors are a bit more sophisticated than the adorable design, which I like very much about it. I am sooooo tempted because my little granddaughter is a huge fan of Splash Parks and has had a Splash Park birthday party every year...Haven’t seen all the posts for today but adding mine quickly for now ~

and bless you for sharing this story @Cordeliere! I was searching for directions to the support group...Maybe this will make you feel better. A certain scarfie, that I know pretty well, sold a certain scarf because of a very problematic border. That certain scarfie couldn't quit thinking about the design and color. Five years later, she bought the same scarf again, and had the same problem with the border. Insanity: Doing the same thing over again and expecting a different outcome.

Yes! Safe travels @FA73-- I think the enablement is part of TPF's powerful enticement...Oh! I am so so happy I’ve enabled you on this soft and subtle cw ❤️.

So serenly beautiful @violetkool and all the more special knowing that little green unicorn is nestled in the folds...
Thank you @Jereni! I am relieved the regret was redeemed by a repurchase (how is that for scarf alliteration?)That Kimonos CSGM is simply the stuff of dreams. And adorable Chacun as wel.
Yes I know exactly what you mean @Sickgrl13 -- I am your sister scarfie on this for the same reason...SOTD is Quand Soudain. This one lies in the “TPF made me do it” as someone posted this many years back and it of course was added to the list.
