I am grateful to everybody for the likes: this topic is one of my favorites, where personal definitions and sources of strength are translated into the visible language of scarves.
Thank you for enjoying my little scarf-personalities. I have fun writing them, but I like even more reading everybody else's stories, all the real-life personalities that come bubbling up and through this thread.
Isn't it interesting how often Ardmore Artists are coming up so far! What is it with those designs? And I'm with you re: walls. Besides, for the price of that groovy hanging system, I could buy . . . another scarf! For me, that's always gonna win out.
Aw, thank you, I'm sucker for a story! I mentioned last year somewhere that I practically bought Cavalcadour Clair de Lune without even seeing it: silk buried by the light of the full moon in China here's all my money now give it to meeeee. I'm so glad you chose that Iris--I did think it was luminous pearly magic on you. Like the changeant, it seems like that pale corner has a color hard to pin down. There's a will-o-the-wisp quality to both, maybe? a don't-be-too-sure-you-know-what-you're-looking-at quality? (Or am I just fantasizing, because I want there to be scarves with that power so I can acquire them too?)
Allow me to say that I love everything about the way you wear bright colors like that Beloved India. In fact, I thought I was safe from Tohu Bohu mania until I saw your pictures wearing the classic black and red one, darn it.
Thank you! I'd have posted it earlier, but I think I passed out for a while after your collection of scarf rings. The phrase "vintage Bakelite mourning brooch" almost sent me over the edge all by itself.
Ah, it shouldn't surprise me by now that my Calvacadour Clair de Lune twin and fellow member of the Gold Scarves Done Me Wrong support group is also my Onde cousin. And I feel you on your beautiful, historic, self-affirming Lascaux. One of my favorites never draws compliments either, so we are just self-satisfied secret friends together.
Business meetings? Nah, those were just the neighborhood association meetings. If people do not STOP mis-sorting their recyclables, s**t is gonna get real and I may have to cut somebody.
I feel the Magic, and you?
