Scarves Scarf Of The Day 2020 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

[papertiger]

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

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

Scarves - Scarf of the Day 2021 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

continued from here THEME WEEKS for 2021 from TEAM SCARF MISTRESS Just for fun, each Sunday begins a new Theme Week. This year, we have some real treats in store! We have a full complement of scarf mistresses and GSMs for 2021 and I want to give a quick shout out and thank you to my fellow...

forum.purseblog.com

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.

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.

Thank you RBH! I love your posts and of course your red Joies!



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.

 

[Croisette7]

I dream of owning a Kachinas CSGM... Yours is spectacular!

Of course I could count on you to show us this marvel just about now! Such a treasure!

Gorgeous!

Thank you so much for your sweet compliments, fifi!

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.

Wonderful intro of theme week @Cookiefiend, and I will post my Sherlock silk(s) if I can get a free moment from work. In the meantime, for some holiday cheer, I must post my holiday silks while I can since its such a limited window of timefor them to get their neck time!

I actually have a post I want to write for a sotd this week in theme, but I haven't had time to do that yet. So in the meantime, here is my actual sotd - this season's Kelly en Perles, a 140 wash.

Today we will be looking at the names of important aviators that are depicted on my scarf Reves D’espace.



Let’s begin with Chuck Yeager, who passed away this week at the age of 97. He was a war hero and a test pilot and in 1947 he became the first person to break the sound barrier. He definitely belongs on this scarf.





Other famous names on the scarf include Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon in 1969, and Charles Lindbergh, the first person to fly nonstop across the Atlantic Ocean from New York to Paris in 1927.



One of my personal favorites is Antoine de Saint-Exupery. He was a French writer and aviator, and is probably best known for writing “The Little Prince” (1943). But, I first read his aviation novels, especially “Wind, Sand, and Stars” (1939) about his adventures as an airmail carrier across the African Sahara, and found them so gripping. And, very relatable as a fellow pilot.



Americans Orville and Wilbur Wright are there as the inventors of the airplane because of their first powered flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903.



Frenchman Louis Bleriot is known as the inventor of the first practical headlamp for cars, but is on the scarf because he was the first to fly across the English Channel in 1909.



More recently, Americans Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager piloted the first aircraft around the world without stopping or refueling in 1986. Their aircraft, Voyager, was designed by Burt Rutan, Dick's brother. I was lucky enough to hear him speak at my local airport a number of years ago.



When I first spotted the name Roland Garros on this scarf, I immediately thought of the French Tennis Open which is played at a stadium named Roland-Garros. However, the stadium is named for French aviator Roland Garros, who set several altitude records, and gained fame for the first non-stop flight across the Mediterranean Sea in 1913.



Finally, I am highlighting some small fliers on my scarf of the day. Do you know which scarf this is?

 

[Karenska]

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

Congratulations on acquiring this wonderful design, Anna. It’s gorgeous. What lovely mod shots of you and of the flowers! They are exotic, for sure.

beautiful, Karenska

Thank you, Agrume.

An amazing multi-day sleuthing expedition, Redbird, with such interesting historical information, as well as your great appreciation for aviation and the significant beauty of this design. I’ve enjoyed it immensely.
I do not know which specific design this is, but I’m guessing it’s an Alice Shirley?

Yesterdays scarf was Kachinas giant triangle (hello to all my twins! ) for this week's theme:

You suit it very Well. Please tell me, do you like the giant triangle, and do you ever wear it untied, i mean not folded?

Thank you, Fifi, this is a wonderful essay. I am falling in love with KO’s designs, especially the Native American-themed ones. Such detail and reverence. Another grand carré by Mr Oliver is Mythologies des Hommed Rouges. I hope to acquire either one or both of these designs.

Fabulous post!! I love your knowledge of aviation! ( I am combining your previous posts together with this one. I am so far behind...) I remember in school we went over the engineering marvel that is the Concorde. Especially when you think of all the calculations that were done without computers or other advancements we have today. I wish I would have flown the Concorde before it was decommissioned.
As to your SOTD; Jaguar quetzal!! Is my guess
