Hermes Cafe Bon Temps~Good Times Cafe

This sounds similar to the baby powder trick that my decorator taught me. Cover an oily stain with baby powder and let sit for several hours. When you shake off the powder it lifts the stain. It has worked quite well for me.

One last photo of my garden for the year. Just like the Jardin Anglais scarf.

Oooh i love the garden! Do you actually have a pet deer? Sorry it's a stupid question. I love the jardin anglais design so I love your picture

I'm sorry I started the scarf-washing topic. Upto now, I have been too busy with work so I haven't washed them yet. And I am still thinking about the gambade necklace that I didn't buy... maybe before the end of the year. I think it's perfect, maybe I'll get it as a xmas present for myself But for now, I ordered a diamond bracelet from a jeweller our family works with. I looked at the stones the other day and I hope to get them by next month. I was contemplating on that vs a love bracelet but I decided on the diamond one. Did I make the right decision? I think it would be around 7-8 carats in total. I hope it will be beautiful

Thank you! And thanks to any advice and reply to my post from each one of you
I don't really mind about strangers comments, because most of them come from old ladies, and here in Italy they are so funny: do you know what they do when they see you with a newborn baby in your hands? They touch you breasts (especially if they are in group, in a park or in a situation where there are all women) and squeeze them saying "do you breastfeed?? Let's feel if you have enough milk!!!" And in the early 50's it was common to receive the same treatment by men too!! My mum said that her father in low (my grandad) did the same at the hospital where I was born xD
Ahahahah every time I think about this I can't believe how bizarre this country is
But we have Hermes so it's fine (mwahah shopping addiction mode on)

Talk about invading your personal space! What did you do when they tried to touch your breasts???

Oh no dear. It's fine that we are talking about washing scarves. There is great info being shared that would probably help others. I'll try to find the link.

Lol. No, we actually have to spray a nontoxic repellent monthly to keep the deer from eating the garden. They are a menace. Clearly it's not working.

Here we go. Here is the scarf washing thread.

Your bracelet sounds lovely. I know the love bracelets are popular but I'm not a huge fan. I think you made a great choice.

I think everyone and their mother has the love bracelet. It's gorgeous but I think your custom diamond bracelet sounds even more amazing. Pics when you get it? I love diamonds.

That reminds me of when I went in to Chanel to look for a bracelet to match my C necklace. I commented to the SA that I wore the Tiffany round bead bracelet with the C, and she goes "but that is real, this is only costume ".

Quelle horreur. I also mix gold and stainless/silver on a daily basis.

She doesn't know the brand history very well. That's exactly how coco wore her jewelry.

I don't know what to say about the Italian culture and treating women like that. My maternal grandparents emigrated from Italy. They weren't the most supportive side of the family when it came to eduction or the rights of women. But I suppose I should be thankful that they came to the US. If not I suspect I would be in an Italian prison because I would lose it if anyone ever treated me like that.

I have really appreciated the scarf washing posts. And I enjoy rambling threads.

How do people feel about the fold lines. I don't like them personally,, but I got the impression that people like having the original fold lines.

Oh good. Thought people would be annoyed that we went off on a tangent.

On a brighter note about the Italians, I have to mention that luisaviaroma has absolutely the best customer service that I have ever encountered. They are so nice and totally on the ball. I wasn't sure about the size on my jackets and they were amazing. I wish all merchants were like that.

That would freak me out. It is good that you find it funny. I would get locked up for old lady assault if they did that to me.

And let me second what everyone has said about your wonderful relationship with your daughter.

I like crisp scarves with folds. But as my favorite scarves age I'm getting used to a softer feel.

When Momasaurus and I were pawing through the scarves at the Paris flea market, she pointed out to me the amazingly velvety feel on some of the vintage scarves. I am all about the feel on everything from food to purses. I don't think I will ever wear mine enough for them to get velvety.

I am sort of motivated to wash some of my scarves that aren't really dirty just to take the fight out of them when I try to tie them. I don't remember who said these things on the SOTD thread, but I want scarves I can "throw on" and "good scarves that tie themselves". Momasauraus's daughter was good at throwing scarves on.

Froufrou is quite good at this technique.
