So as I'm trying it on, my friend says that she would like to give it to me as a present. 
I'm in shock. I try to protest but she won't hear anything of it and insists she would like to gift it to me. I was so overwhelmed by her generosity and although I am keeping her identity anonymous here, I know she reads this thread and wanted to thank her again publicly! She is a true H angel and is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. We ended up playing and talking until way after dinner yesterday and ended up shutting down the restaurant we ate at because we were having such a good time. They literally had to flicker the lights on and off at us to get us to leave. 
I'm really in awe at how a mutual love for beautifully made quality Hermes items has brought so many friendships together. My lovely friend from yesterday is not the only friendship I have made through the internet. She is one of many...I think the number of close friends I have made through a shared love of H is now in the high single digits, maybe even low double digits And as these friendships develop, they do not stay just on the internet. They became true life, get together & see each other friendships and I am so grateful to have found all these lovely men and women. Some live nearby and some live thousands of miles away on another coast. But everyone I have met through Hermes has turned out to be so smart, kind, generous, intelligent, passionate about life, interesting, and the list literally goes on and on. They have become great lunch companions, traveling companions, shopping companions, cocktail companions, dinner companions, and everything else in between. These friendships have been a wonderful addition to my life. And I know I'm not the only one with this experience. I have met many other ladies and gentlemen that have also made great friends through a mutual love of H. It's yet another magical aspect of collecting.
All right...enough of the mushy stuff. Here are some modeling shots. This scarf is just fantastic. Sometimes Annie Faivre scarves overwhelm me with the detail but this one is still in my comfort zone. And each bias fold gives many, many different color combinations. And a quick observation I have about the bias fold...I know everyone knows about the 2 different axes from this fold but I actually think there are 4. Here's what I mean....if you fold your scarf on a bias perfectly and the tips of your tails are perfectly centered, then yes, there are just 2 axes. But if you are a bit of a sloppy folder like me
, the tail tips are on the edge of your tail and if you flip your bias fold over, you will get different colors in your scarf. The next two photos are the result of just one bias fold and me just flipping the scarf over to the other side. I hope I have explained this sufficiently and sorry for the huge pics.
And here's a asymmetrical cowboy knot for fun!

It's a bit like dating but not with another man, with another H collector! LOL! She is the lady that was in Picotin cohoots with me and I went to her house yesterday to deliver her new etain baby. We had set up a H closet playdate and when I went to her house, I found that she had spread out about 50 scarves and shawls for me to play with. Seriously, H heaven.
