My very best wishes to everyone for the New Year to all SOTD regulars, occasional posters and newcomers alike :party: .

The SOTD 2021 thread is now open and ready for business:



The new theme commences tomorrow (3 Jan - whenever your time zone gets there) but there's no reason why you can't post earlier if you want.
 
So delicate!
❤ It is truly a delicate scarf, and I probably should treat it with more care - after all it is older than I am... which is saying a lot! But, it does me no good just lying in a drawer looking pretty - so I wear them! Today with a white blouse and jeans!
Foxy trini said in post: 34209869, Thanks Karenska!! I do have two now. I can’t pick a favorite.
I understand completely, @Foxy trini. That’s how I feel about my two Kachinas GTs. Both are such gorgeous cws. Both pics are from my archives.

Fabulous as always!
But remember the theme is Sherlock Holmes! :smartass: :idea: :smartass:
I am doing my detective work on Kachinas :search: and I am loving :heart: all the beauties we‘re seeing - it’s such an amazing design! I had no idea about all the extraordinary things on @Redbirdhermes Reves D’espace... that’s been making me go “WOW!”
Im also enjoying the I Spy With My Little Eye hints and guessing! :lol: I had no idea what @Karenska showed us yesterday - and extra points for making it a tricky plisse :giggle: , until @orchard identified it! :lol:
 
Hugo Grygkar designed the first Hermès carré, 'Jeu de Omnibus et Dames blanches'. From the Hermès scarf booklet, “the name of 'Dames Blanches', or white ladies, was bestowed on the two-compartment public omnibus that plied the Madeleine-Bastille run in Paris...”
The Italian artist Gianpaolo Pagni used the design to create my SOTD, Jeu des Omnibus Remix. From The Story Behind, Signor Pagni “loves to appropriate old documents, reinventing their appearance and story in a light-hearted way through the use of stamps. He took great pleasure with this exercise using Jeu des omnibus et dames blanches as his basis. Originally intended as a board game, this watercolour holds a special place in the history of Hermès. Hung on the office wall of Émile Hermès, the grandson of the house’s founder, and today conserved in his collection, in 1937 it inspired the very first Hermès silk scarf. What was the origin of this game? The new omnibus lines, which appeared in the 1820s, and whose horse-drawn vehicles encircle the central medallion. The players placed their bets, then wooden balls were selected from a bag to reveal the winning number.” @Foxy trini , hello, sister!

gorgeous! I much prefer this design to the original - as sacrilegious as that sounds - and dat Hem! :love:
Oooh, it’s so beautiful. Gasping....
Thank you sweetheart! :hugs:
