Thank you so much, everyone. It’s been helpful to lurk here periodically, and even if I didn’t comment at the time, I’ve appreciated seeing everyone’s posts. You all have unknowingly helped me come out of the shell shock. What we’ve been going through cannot be believed - three suicides in three months! and if that wasn’t enough, the man who raped a family member got off scot free at trial. There’s more, but honestly, Ive been rather numb. Needless to say, we are feeling rather Job-like. I can’t talk about a lot of this stuff in social media for fear that it’ll hurt the other people involved. But grief is miserable work. I can’t take it anymore. I need to be my cheerful self again, and if scarves are what’ll help me get there, then so be it. To that end, I have a moussie on its way to me, hopefully tomorrow. The pup has been a huge help, too. We got him as an emotional support dog for my DS after my stepson died. DS has had problems that ramped up after his brother’s death. DH and I are so grateful for the dog, he’s been good for our family.
Here he is:


Sorry to derail the thread. Back to topic, I went to H to see if they had anything new but no, nothing from AW yet. So I tried on two cws of Sieste... and two of Animapolis. Oh dear, those photos are in my other phone. I’ll post them soon... BRB!
Oh my dear Joanna, feeling so sorry to read what happened to your family. Big hugs to you from across the ocean.

Oh this photo says MISCHIEF for sure!
Staying open to all of this is brutal work. I salute your honesty and bravery.

So very sorry for you loss joannadyne...it is just heartbreaking to see what you and your family have been going through. Sending love and prayers to you. Your adorable Cavalier will bring you and your DS much joy, as I think I shared with you that we also had a Cavalier for 13 years. Just wonderful, loving companions (as are all dogs, IMO!).

I just love the scarves on you...we would be twins with CW01 of Animapolis and the first CW of Sieste, and as always you look amazing in these color families.
 
I think it looks great on you this way. Have you tried doing a bias fold, then knotting it at your nape? That may bring the fantasy city to the front. :flowers: Thank you for the 'reminder' that this scarf has only one side. One must love the main cw then!

Thank you very much for the compliment :) I don't know why they didn't color the back at all. It makes the scarf look cheap, and for the prices we're paying that should not be the case.

Not sure I understand the folding tip... I did tie it in the bias fold today but it obscures the beautiful central parts of the scarf. Do you mean I should knot it behind the neck and just let the ends come to the front?


Well it looks very nice on you but I concur, in the end I din't go for this beautiful design even though laid flat it's very 'me'.

Thank you :) Yeah the wearability is not amazing. Sometimes I just lay it out on my bed and enjoy the beautiful design :)

I meant a knot that shows off the center. Like this knot on the card below (found online), but instead of having it on your forehead, pull the scarf down to your neck.

My scarf of the day is Pivoines!
To be honest while I think this is the most achingly beautiful scarf, I bought it months ago and this is the first time I wear it. It's a PITA to tie in a way that displays my favorite parts of the scarf, i.e. those pencil drawings of that fantasy city. I keep ending up with the flowers on display. Those are nice and everything but not that special IMO.
Doesn't help that the back of the scarf is completely white.
Plus I have general problems with 90 squares... always feel that my style is too casual to pull them off without looking like I'm trying to play dress up.
I think it is a beautiful scarf, and looks great on you. I recently posted mine- I do feel it is more “formal” than some of my other scarves.

Ohhh now I get it. Thanks!

Thank you :) I just got a very effusive compliment from a colleague so I'm feeling better about the scarf now :D

is a rehash.)
Ok, back to SS season. Here’s my second choice for Animapolis:

I love it but it didn’t make me smile as much as cw 01. (Please excuse the I’m-about-to-make-a-proclamation face)

Here are two Siestes (again with the proclamations in the first pic, lol)

I love the second one more but will give up on them for now. Not enough leaves on that money tree! Plus I never was able to try on pautinka’s gorgeous cw, which was one that intrigued me.
Wishing you only 100% positive developments in your life in the days ahead that will somehow bring some happiness back into your life and into the lives of those around you, too. You certainly deserve that.

I love that cw of Animapolis on you especially against your shirt color, and both of those Siestes are stunning on you, too.

It is terrible and heartbreaking to read this. I send you my deepest sympathy. Hugs.

Dear Joannadyne
I am a longtime lurker , sometimes active contributor here....I became interested in Hermes scarves on ebay( which led me to the purseforum) when my family was dealing with my Dad’s illness and dementia over a period of two years. It was a family crisis and we all responded differently, and it was painful and numbing. Immersing myself periodically in beauty and creativity saved my heart and my sanity. We have to come up from the depths and decompress periodically, at times like that, or we will drown ourselves. I cannot fathom the pain you’ve experienced in the past while, but I am so glad you have a community of friends here to support and love you and remind you of the simple joys of living. And your little puppy is a darling!... welcome back to your other ‘hood!

I missed your post for CW 01 somewhere. I like the second Siesta better on you but I need to go back and see CW 01 Animapolis too. Is that the one with the black contrast hem? That hem slays me...

Good morning everyone, Have a wonderful Thursday!
Thanks for inspiring me with scarf.
Animapolis :love::love:
I think I am improved with “how to knot scarf” by watching all Ladies everyday.:blush::hbeat:

Fab job tlamdang! DOn't feel bashful to post it in SOTD either if you haven't already! :yes: :tup:
