My friend and I went again this afternoon at 3:30. At the shawl counter, it doesn't look like they replenished since yesterday. Good ones we saw on Monday morning were gone. There's no twillies at all.
At the 90 counter, there were still good amount and veriatities left including a few we didn't see yesterday. We ended up picking one shawl, one 90 cm cashmere, one 70, seven 90 silk.
The line at the bracelet desk was shorter and moving, thank God! I waited in line for 70 minutes. I asked for clic clac in PM first. The SA initially said all gone but then she was nice enough to dig everything out from the GM box and found 4 in PM in pinky red, green and kaki, all in silver hardware. I took the pinky red and green. There were plenty in size GM, same colors as above, but I also spotted yellow. There were still CDCs, but only one color, looks like coral red.
I then moved onto printed enamel asking for 65cm. There werer some narrow ones and plenty regular width ones left, all in older designs but not much variaties. These bracelets were in a box on top of each other. It made searching for the right prints and colors really hard. I had to dig things in the box with a gentleman at same time, which doesn't help. But I found one narrow and two regular width I like.
Overall, mission accomplished.

Omg that's so perfect I have a brique birkin lol. Wearing it actually in my avatar lol. Thank you Hun !
I ended up going back on Day 2 and the line to get in was indeed vastly shorter, although the coat check was even more of a mess than Day 1, thanks to a power-drunk security guard who was trying to force people to check small handbags (I refused!), and the lines inside once again moved at a glacial pace.
There had been some minor restocking. @juss, I spotted (and picked up) one other colorway of ACdlV in addition to the black/green.
I made very few purchases this year and mostly erred on the side of caution, choosing either colorways I'd tried on in boutiques, or blues, which are usually a reliable bet for me. Several years ago the scarf counters were located in the front of the hall (where jewelry and gloves now reside), which allowed for natural light, making it easier to make confident purchasing decisions when considering less familiar scarves. I passed on a few pieces because I just couldn't get a good enough sense of how they looked. I understand why they had to move the scarf counters, however; there was just no room for the lines!

Thanks! I remember those counters next to windows, was much easier without lines too... i buy blues as sure bet too-Acdlv in turquoise is my fav or in white, well i cant have all scarves i like. I recall you wear mousslines, were tbere any?
ACdlV in turquoise from the first issue is one of my most cherished scarves!
I do love mousselines, my favorite of all H formats! There were a few moussies at the sale-- all were stoles, at least by the time I got to the counter. Several sunset ombre mousselines in various shades. Lots of Chasse en Inde and Mosaique, one Galop Chromatique, and a couple of Au Charmantes des Animaux. I dithered over, and then passed on, one of the latter in a mesmerizing purply-blue. Honestly even at the sale prices I think hard about the mousselines because resale prices are so great for them right now. With so many tempting chiffon bargains on eBay I have to really, really love a mousseline to pony up the cash!
Thank you, everyone, for posting your hauls!! 
There are so many things shown that I would be thrilled to find at a sale!! 
Congratulations to all!!
