I checked back in with the scarf attendants many times trying to get another in this cw for someone else but they didn't have it - she was nice enough to check in the bags they had behind the counter. It was so frustrating that they wouldn't just put everything out! It just drove me nuts thinking that the shawl of my dreams might be hiding in those bags back there and I might unknowingly be walking away.
Another funny thing: I found out that the scarves the SAs are wearing are up for grabs - it's how I got Faune Lettree in black the first day, I ripped it from an SA's warm neck. (I kid, I kid! I minded my manners!)
Then as we're waiting in line for jewelry, I mention this to another fabulous tpfer who had looked for a particular shawl but hadn't had any luck finding it. Lo and behold, one of the jewelry SAs was wearing it! We pounced on her right away and she good-naturedly handed it over. Yes! Mission accomplished! The SA said she'd go back to get another one to keep her warm. We pore over jewelry options and when we look up, the SA is back, wearing another gorgeous shawl that one of us promptly strips from her again! We had a good chuckle over the SA's good taste in shawls and good luck in finding them back there.
