Sales support AIDS relief, I believe. And art has a story (via hermes):
A mischievous leopard has slipped into the heart of a baobab flower. For the Zulu kings, this majestic big cat incarnated their noble status, while the baobab represented power and grace. The flowers of this colossal tree only open at dusk, just when the leopard ventures out in search of its prey. The play on composition blends the animal and the plant into a single being, haloed by a crown of white-speckled feathers. The Ardmore artists’ collective works to promote the style and traditional imagery of the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa, where it was founded by Fée Halsted in 1985.

Thanks:heart:
Man's idea was for me to wear it to ride mechanical bull.:oh:
This sounded insane. Until I pondered.
Then, tied this way, became GREAT idea!

Mackerel party wearing is good idea, too.
Want to see Mariapia's red bag choice!:hbeat:

Hermès aficionados will talk about a carré if the scarf is square ( carré=square) but most people will talk about a foulard Hermès, whether it's square or not.:smile:

Good morning ladies!
Hope everyone survived the solstice party at the Happy Mackerel. Admittedly, I lost track after the second colourful cocktail. Found myself naked at the beach. Epic headache. Hair smelling of fire. Clothes with suspicious burn holes all over the bar. Hopefully, I did not what I suspect I did... dancing and jumping around the solstice fire place.... I did not like the grin of our landlord when I came to fetch my clothes. :blush:
There is a red bag at the Mackerel waiting to get fetched by its owner... Oh and can someone wake up Murphy, please? Carfully? She is sleeping on a palm tree. :shocked:

It sure HOW I ended up in the palm tree. With my knees I’m surprised I managed to climb it.
There WAS a lovely view of the sunrise from that height.
Also have epic headache from fancy cocktails. Har liquor makes me think I can fly (which may be how I ended up in said tree) so I think I’ll stick to beer next time.
Agree with Ludmilla about smoky smell: hair washing day for sure!

Beer next time for me, too. It's kind of alcohol I can handle. :D
I have not the faintest idea how you ended on that tree....
