[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.

 

[Karenska]

Continuing on my Kachinas detective work today with another 4 (there are 16 in the outer circle), today contains one of my favorites - the Owl Kachina.

Today’s mystery scarf surprised me. As I was searching over it to find a hidden detail - I found one that I hadn’t noticed before! Yesterday we watched a section of the news about the counting of Koalas in Australia - the poor dears - and look what I found!

Which scarf is this cutie hidden on?

Wonderful detective work and sleuthing, Cookiefiend. Your work continues to enrich my love and appreciation for this design as well as a deepening love of Mr Oliver’s art.
As to the adorable koala cutie, hmmmm. Could it be Mythes et Metamorphoses?

 

[monteverdi]

Thanks so much, Monteverdi, I’d love to see yours.

My pleasure!

 

[Croisette7]

What a fabulous neutral!

Thank you, laurenad!

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!

All so lovely, lanit ... and twins.

You look like a russian lady, dear Croisette7!

Thank you so much, Pampelmuse!

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.

Congrats Awillow, its gorgeous!

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

View attachment 4924912

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.

View attachment 4924914

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.

View attachment 4924915

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.

View attachment 4924916

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

View attachment 4924917

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.

View attachment 4924919

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?

View attachment 4924922

Great posts RBH, thank you for all your work!
I guess Jaguar Quetzal?

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.

Thank you, Agrume.

Croisette, you look so stylish and beautiful. I do love that design. Enjoy your day.

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?

Thank you kindly, Karenska!

Wonderful post Fifi!! Thank you for gleaning all this information (though I know you do it often!) on this scarf - it is a beauty!

What a lovely lovely look Croisette! A perfect pairing!

Oh thank you sweetie - she is a darling.

No words, just
(and thank you for your kind words!)



Gorgeous!

Redbird - I would vote this as one of the best posts of the year - absolutely flabbergasted at the amount of study you've put into this! What a wealth of information! Astonishing!

I'm guessing your scarf is an Alice Shirley, but I'm not sure which one!

Thank you so much, Cookie!

Guessing game. SOTD, which Hermés scarf is this?
View attachment 4925196View attachment 4925197Apologies for the side and upside down aspects - not sure why that happened... hmmmm.

L´hiver!

You have all the Christmas Grails... Such a dream in this CW! And, beautiful with that gorgeous sweater and pin

Thank you fifi!

Aux Portes du Palais, our beloved Christine Henry. From Hermès:

“A deep understanding of Indian culture, art and mythology inspired the designer to create the scarf Aux Portes Du Palais. Each detail, character, animal, plant and architectural element is deliberate and richly symbolic. The large doors signify the threshold between two worlds: the known and the unknown. Fruit-laden trees bursting with flowers represent the Buddha in Indian folk art and symbolize fertility.

The lotus flowers, the flower of the Buddha, represent spiritual blossoming.
Emblematic animals, revered and present in all Indian traditions, are also present: the elephant – ridden by Indra, the god of storms and rain – brings peace and prosperity;

The four dancers next to the trees narrate the legends of the gods and stories from everyday life using graceful gestures.
View attachment 4925199

In the corners of the scarf we see examples of the protective drawings women paint on their homes. The frieze surrounding the scarf, in the style of Indian miniatures rich in colorful decorations, is a tribute to the delicacy of Indian art, expressed in fabrics and temple decorations alike.”

Great post Karenska and lovely Chiff!

Yes! Wearing it today because we received our first dusting of snow. A Monsieur Ledoux grail for me, for sure.

Oh, Croisette, good guess! Yes, Chiff is a love, thank you for your nice compliments!

 

[Cookiefiend]

Loving your Kachinas posts... So fascinating! And, hmmm... I don’t think I own a scarf with a koala! Is it Jardins d’Hiver?

Nope!
(and thank you for your kind words about Kachinas - I am fascinated by it, but for you to praise me is pretty special!)

Ooh what a cutie! I know it is Annie Faivre. i think I know which design but must check.

Heeheeheeee!

Thank you sweetheart!
And - ding ding ding - you are correct, it is indeed Mythes et Metamorphoses by Annie Faivre!

Coco smooches for you!
