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.

This format is wonderful and Kachinas the perfect design for it. I recently purchased the top CW and the bottom I gave my daughter (though I sometimes borrow)... Every single CW was wonderful in this format, but these two are my favs

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!

I adore this design... since I love stripes, I knew I had to have this one as the stripes are done so masterfully... This is such a gorgeous CW

Thank you, Cookie. Your local aviator is probably flying an ultralight vehicle. The FAA does not regulate these as long as there is only one seat, and there are a few other conditions (such as, maximum empty weight of 254 lbs, maximum speed of 55 knots, and fuel tank no larger than 5 gallons). Still, some flight training is highly recommended, and that is why they build two seater versions, which do require a pilot's license. Personally, I like a bit more airplane around me.

You are welcome, Croisette. My scarf is Joies d'Hiver. Lovely photo of your scarf showing the trees.

Thank you, Karenska. I'm planning on more tomorrow.



Thank you, turfnsurf. Of course, you are correct.



Thank you, scarf. I am having more fun with this design than I expected when I began. I am beginning to realize how many aircraft on this scarf have been retired since 1993, including the Concorde. That was a very special airplane.

Love this classic beauty with your pearls

I recently acquired a Flowers of South Africa scarf. It features proteas — a classic South African plant. I *think* it also features pincushions in the corners — another South African flower! We buy both frequently — Mittens enjoys munching on them

Brava! Wonderful intro... and, you did it! I know that you’ve been exploring the meaning of the different Kachina dolls on the scarf for a while... I am going to save your information... This is such a perfect offering for the week! And, I see that we are twins on this CW as this is one of the latest to enter my collection... I will never tire of Kachinas... One of my favorite designs of all time

This is such formidable work, Cookie! Thank you so much for sharing your findings with us!

Glorious colors! And, so beautiful worn with this top!

Well done, Cookie! Brava!

What a luscious jacquard! It appears to be almost dimensional

Cutie pie!

You are so sweet - thank you, thank you, thank you for all your kind words! ❤️❤️❤️

Following in @Cookiefiend footsteps, I’d like to present another Kermit Oliver masterpiece. The American artist’s rich and complex graphics are full of historical significance and cultural relevance and are perfect for this week’s theme.
His Les Danses des Indiens features a multitude of images and symbols from various Native American traditions and their rituals, ceremonies and dances. The Hermès catalog states, “For the Cheyenne, the Kiowa, the Apache and the Hopi, choreography comes down to ritual. Whether they celebrate the sun or bison, mark the passage of girls to adulthood, whether they invoke success for the hunt, or the spirits of their ancestors, Indians dance.”
Arranged around a central image of the sun, there appears a display of dancers and villagers wearing their intricate regalia. The four largest figures represent a Plains Grass dancer and Buffalo dancer, an Apache Crown dancer and a Hopi Antelope dancer. Traditional symbols and accoutrements such as gourds, peace pipes, moccasins, rattles, feathered fans, bows, arrows and ceremonial drums appear throughout the design. Decorative medallions depicting pow wows, ritualistic and village scenes decorate the corners in the style of Native mud paintings.

Our temps have dropped dramatically in Paradise and I have been wearing a CSGM out for the past couple of days.
Today’s shawl was Ex Libris en Kimonos

Playing around with Exposition Universelle while I wait for a Zoom call to begin. This scarf is so cool because it depicts some real people known to the artist, as I’ve learned from the his IG account. For instance, I’ve shown the artist presenting this scarf at Hermès. This is the type of cute meta detail that I appreciate!

lovely, Laurenad!
