A few final images that didn't really fit anywhere else...

A few fancy-schmancy helmets that aren't featured on our scarf but are worth a look:

Thanks for letting me share so many photos!
You are awesome, Joannadyne! :hugs:That was a wonderful museum trip you took us on -- loved your photos and storytelling. :flowers:
 
Thank you so much for the wonderful posts! I loved reading them! Hope your little one feels better soon (and that you don't get sick!).

As for your pictures....first of all, YOU always look wonderful, and honestly...I could hardly pay attention at all to the beautiful Samurais armor, because I was totally focused on your Absolutely Perfect Eyeliner. Yes, something is wrong with me, because to me that was the most compelling part of your pics....HOW do you do that??? [emoji1376][emoji1376][emoji1376]

Lastly...so I still only have the cw02 and the stunning, knock-me-off-my-feet cw08. Even though I love the 08, I keep wearing the 04 - every day!!! The 08 I still haven't worn yet. That was unexpected!

Loving my new scarf ring:

Joannadyne: fabulous photos and descriptions!! Thank you so much for that fun tour, and for taking the time to show all those comparison shots - Aline Honore did an amazing job, but you are the real sleuth. Incredible textures and details in that armor. I love all the cordage holding the small pieces together. The armor must have had a flexibility and contour that the medieval western metal stuff could never have had. BIG HUG TO YOU!!!

Joanna, thank you for these amazing photos and the details connecting the armors to the scarf. You made it even more interesting with your great sense of humor!
 
Ooh, BBC, 02 looks faaaabulous on you! I love it with your hair! Congrats!

Re: Eyeliner - my teeny tiny eyes require liner or people think I'm asleep. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] So I've had a lot of practice over the years!

Joannadyne thank you so much for the pictures and virtual tour. I loved reading it all! Your conversation with your son is so funny - sometimes there is a significant difference between what we think they know and what they actually know!

Thank you for the guided tour of the samourias. I love the connection between history and fashion. You are a good storyteller and your DS is hilarious [emoji23][emoji4]

Thank you Joannadyne for being such a super sleuth. I am going to have to stare at my scarf some more to appreciate all the details. AH did an amazing job and I will have to do my best to not get cw 8 and break my duplicate rule when the CSGMs come.

Joannadyne, many many thanks for your wonderful fotos and stories. You did a great job for us!
 
Thanks to everyone for their comments and "likes" on my post. Sorry that I am not quoting you properly - my old iPad is struggling. A new one is arriving this week .

It has also been nice to see visits on my blog post about the scarf. Mind you, Joannadyne has really done us all proud! Thank-you so much.

Would it be OK for me to add a link to this thread on my blog?
