Yesterday was so hot I could only MANage this MANly gavroche C’est la fete: 
Great borders on all these!
I love those coups de foudre - when a scarf you hadn't even noticed grabs you IRL! That is a great red.
All so pretty - did you get the wash or regular silk Zambeze? I love that black colorway. Somehow didn't get the first issue and didn't get a reissue either!This year has been punctuated by a couple of lucky finds, and at least one FOMOF (but I didn't settle) scarf. Though I have tried to tell myself I have been better about purchases, sadly when I add the number up, that is not the case. A lot of the purchases so far this year have been definitely OUT of the bargain realm and IN to the I'd better get this while I can realm.... Cha-ching $$$
One bargain I am very happy with (because, like our dear @Cookiefiend , I have a permanently attached pair of sales goggles on my head at all times...)
Just before "The Big Freeze" here in TX I located this Grand Fonds pareo for the price of a twilly (calculated Mod H so everyone here will understand)

And under the concept of FOMOF (Fear of Missing out Forever) when the Marche du Zambeze came out, and was re-released in my fav colorway of black/purple/green I ordered it as fast as it could appear on H dot com (and it promptly became my valentines present from MrBcat's "SGV" - that magic place where future H scarf numbers reside....)

The other FOMOF scarf still hangs in limbo in the SGV as of today, but I HAD to have it because I love the marble scarves so and wanted one of my very own.So my Kyoto Marble bandana from this spring's releases is still in the set of "imaginary" scarves FOMOF-i, since it don't exist here on my Real Scarf Plane (RSP) just yet. I am hoping it will get moved from FOMOF-i to RSP very soon-ish!

Who am I but the most devoted bargain hunter 
Chapeau! (which I posted last week as well) was a “that’s too cheap, no way the final price is gonna be that low” unexpected ebay auction win. I normally would be quite skeptical at such low price but the scarf was from a trusted Japanese seller so I took the plunge, put in my max bid and went to bed. Woke up the proud winner haha
Early America, enabled by dear @turfnsurf was another bargain. I’ve been eyeing a 90 pink Early America but the price for that particular scarf is quite high. So when this little moussie gav popped up, half the size but less than half the price, clearly it was a great deal. H Math at its finest

I’m living vicariously through you @Thelittlefoxes. Venice is beautiful as always and I hope to be able to go back there one day

Delightful! I have done the same - put in a bid thinking “well, I don’t expect to win this, but if I do? Woo hoo!“ - and woken up in the morning the proud owner of a darling scarf at a great price?Who am I but the most devoted bargain hunter

Winnjng!
I love the moussie gav - they’re wonderful in the summer!
Here are four more acquisitions from 2021. 
All because a) I missed them the first time around because I was either blind, asleep, or they pre-date H fever and b) they’d been on my wish list and finally showed up in the right cw for a fair/good price. A + B = C (joy!)
And yes, it’s not your imagination, Honoré is a favorite.

That’s exactly what I plan to do with the moussie gav. I already bought a dress (not H) that I imagine will go perfectly with it. Just waiting for it to be shipped
Sorry for double post. Thought the first was “lost.”

Here’s the last of my four “lucky finds” from the past six months. So far I have accumulated four lucky finds, three targets of opportunity, two impulse buys and one full blown obsession. AND I am running out of what my DH calls “luxe bucks” money made from selling seldom and/or never used designer shoes and bags which made up my scarf slush fund! Oh, well, it’s been a grand spree so far…
