You've heard of Way back Wednesday, And Throw Back Thursday, non?

Well- I'm here this evening to instigate a Scarebleu Saturday...Oh la la la la what has bunnycat done now??? :rolleyes:


In my defense, I can't help it. I like cats....I really like cats....so even though I just recently acquired the lovely Parures de Sables changeant, when I saw this one I had to have it too...

Kitties, kitties everywhere!

And then, I am hopeless when it comes to bargains (that's relative in terms of H, of course) and I really like Dimitri R's work...so this way out and wild one made its way to me as well a couple of weeks ago...

So banned....so banned...(let me know how that turns out, yeah? :lol: )

Onde de Chic - from 2005? I think??? It's about as heavy as my Cavaliers d'Or, much more substantial than the recent ones.

Hello wavy horsey!

You have 2 very beautiful CW's of this now scarf1! Conrgats! That aqua and purple is special!



This is glorious calexandre! What a find!



I didn't know he illustrated children's books! Thanks for the info!

For example, he illustrated Les contes (bleus et rouges) du chat perché by Marcel Aymé:

Those books can be read by kids from the age of 8, but by adults as well. They are so well written!!

I keep meaning to go back to photographing my whole collection of mousselines, but when I have the time, I don't have sunlight; and when I have the sunlight, I don't have the time. :annoyed: One day! I'm always taking in and booting out so many mousselines that the entire collection will be different by the time I get around to it. :biggrin:

In the meantime... adding a photo of a pattern of which I've only seen one other colorway in chiffon (@JRTgal's blue one, here). Les Amazones has long been a favorite pattern of mine, but I could never quite get the 90 silk to work for me. The 90 mousseline is another thing entirely! I love that the borders have a somewhat sponge-paint affect, much like one of my all-time favorite mousselines, Splendeurs des Maharajas. The color is a mixture between raspberry pink and lipstick pink. I had to pull out the "big camera" to capture it-- even the latest iPhone camera turns it kind of orange and dull. Moussies are so tricky to get on film.

Just realized I accidentally featured the horse's asses in my bias fold. :amuse:

Thank you kindly Cookie! I really like Onde de Chic for summer wearing. That will be a lot of fun with whites, blues and pale yellows.

Will you be adding on your new pretty? :coolio: We've had a little bit of an explosive week here in Mousselandia. You might as well fess up here too! :lol:

I was wearing one of my twills yesterday. You know how much I love this design, one of the few hunting scenes that appeals, I think it's because comical and yet still elegant and your chiffon 90, the prettiest cw I've seen.
