Look who came for an annual visit at our cottage this weekend. Mr. Hero (so named by our DDs). Sorry for the blurry pic. He took off so quickly, I barely had time to grab my phone.

I’m trying to remember a Hermes scarf design that I think has a crane(s), trees and an Asian flair. It came out about 5-6 years ago and was so popular.

I suddenly realized that this picture might be of two birds. I could see the blackish one in front but behind it seemed to a shark with a very funny looking mouth made of two sofa cushions.

Speaking of birds I think H has generally done good designs of birds over the decades. Which they'd reissue or do some new ones.

I'm not really remodeling a closet. What we did for one eons ago is get California Closets in and they moved the only bar up higher and then inserted another bar below. The hanging room was optimal for separates on both bars and they did leave a space with just the high bar for dresses, etc. I'm not sure this can be done on the other two closets but if it works in at least other I'll be OK for a while.

I heard of someone who had a storage pod on their front lawn. Have you ever used a storage facility? A friend of ours did. Do you know anyone who used those two storage options (not sure what a pod is in terms of storage)? Another person we knew got a second apartment in the same building he lived in so he'd have room for off-season clothes and a flophouse for his son.

I bought my Ex Libris En Kimono on the 2ndary market. I feel i got a pretty one. People glommed on to that scarf -- and also Sieste au Paradis. The colors were very intense on the latter and the partial (side only) borders of seashells were lovely. I can't remember if those two HS came out the same year or so but that was an inspired time for H.

Glad you asked about the sewing projects. I might have something to talk about in a bit.

I want to say that this is National [Big] Nose Day but it's not. But it should be. Someone posted a map of Australia with the word "Sorry" written across it. I think they also said it's National Sorry Day. Someone said that's too political and the site is supposed to be about koalas.

You can tell a male koala from a female b/c males have big noses. See? This is really impressive. This nose enters a room before the rest of the koala does.

I wonder what the big nose is supposed to do—help sniff out the best eucalyptus tree? :biggrin:

Can’t wait to hear about your sewing projects, @eagle1002us. Are you doing more red? And, could you please share pic of your Ex Libris En Kimono. I agree that that was an inspired period of creativity. I’m liking this cw and may start looking for it for fall:

Oh, that’s an innovative idea to use a storage pod. I’m not sure about it being out on the front lawn though. That’s funny about how the person you know got a second apartment. One has to do what one has to do. I think the root issue is that I need clothes for all the different seasons here in Canada and same for shoes—at least that’s my excuse and I’m sticking it. Lol. No external storage yet and I tried to donate one item when I buy a new item. Doesn’t always work 1:1 but I read this tip a long time ago when we used to live in a condo and space was a premium.

This Ex Libris En Kimono is marvelous. Are you thinking of getting this one? My 90 is probably draped over the neckline of one of the pink things stuffed into my closet. If I come across it fairly easily I'll take a pix. Mind you I haven't wore the darn thing since I got it and the 10,000 other HS I got during the shutdown are similarly unworn. This last month I bought maybe one or maybe that was a Ferragamo. I'm kinda relieved that maybe I'm slowing down on getting stuff. I think a lot of the stuff I did get during the shut-down was anxiety-induced, trying to make myself believe that things would eventually go back to normal.

Did you or do you ever watch Project Runway? (when it's on since it's pretty seasonal). The young designers working on a design contest usually had a rolling rack in their usually tiny-looking abodes. A rolling rack is easier to pull stuff from than a bin, particularly if the storage bins are stacked.

My ELenK was a bright clear pink and the major color accent besides that was a greeny-aqua.

Somebody on tpf wore brown one with blue accents. It was pretty. The picture I took of it inspired me (I don't know where the pix is but it'll turn up).

That's us. The friend with the storage space had A HOUSE! and his kid away at college. And they still need more space?

The guy who rented an apartment for his son to drop by now and then, well, that's a couple who are both lawyers. But I never understood why they didn't go for a condo (or two).

I read the same book I think where the author advised if you bought one tie (not Hermes ) you should discard another tie (not Hermes). Yeah, like ties take up a TON of space.

I believe you about the 4 seasons. I lived in Michigan for a while and that was the same deal.

Fabfashion, I think this is my Ex Libris en Kimono. It's for sale on ebay at a high price. I paid much less but it was by no means a bargain price. Of course I haven't worn it yet. That and others I have not worn is cutting back my interest in any further collectible H scarves for the moment. (Which is a relief).
