How glorious Cookie, so lovely of you to share with us, hope you enjoy your time together!For Wednesday, I’m slightly off topic - so I hope you’ll forgive me.
FOMO is not only fear of missing out on scarves but missing out on spending time with those we love and didn’t see much of last year.
So because I’m spending this week with my sweet pea, here we are at the Art Museum, and we’re both wearing H!

Gah - I love them all… now I have SIMO (sad I missed out!)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.View attachment 5123380View attachment 5123381View attachment 5123382View attachment 5123383
I love red black and white together and it looks wonderful on you!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…

Fabulous mod shots!A quick post for Tuesday - one an unbelievable bargain (sales goggles!), and one ZOMG I Must Find That - courtesy of @Agrume!
I was poking around, randomly searching, when I found an incredible bargain - Jeu de Soie - so of course I bought it!

This next scarf, I was reading SOTD post when Agrume posted this astonishingly beautiful green scarf.Off I raced to see if I could find one - and holy moly there it was!

Both of these were BIN, and in the same month!
Divine! There was one on evilbay that went for a song and I’d lost track of time and forgot to bidI jumped on the reissue of La Marche du Zambeze as soon as it appeared on h.com. I wanted to be sure to get this black and green wash scarf before it disappeared from the site. This was my first wash scarf, and I adore the soft feel of the silk.

All are exquisite!So many FOMO silks to ogle and catch up! I think this theme suits so many of us scarfies. Here are a few of mine to share.
Beverly Hills moussline- this became available at the summer sales, but I missed out on this preferred colorway in orange and purple. My dear friend was willing to release hers to me so I am thrilled to have it in my ever expanding mousseline collection.

While SIP, plenty of time to find some wonderful past season silks that I missed out on:
Zebra Pegasus mousseline which disappeared from our store before I could take the leap when first issued and then came available on a reseller site early in the pandemic when no one was lookong for scarves lol…

Flowers of South Africa - mulling over and being on a ban when it was issued, then realizing I really loved the design and colorway several years later….

Yet another beautiful mousse by Alice Shirley that a dear friend knew I was searching for and offered hers to me ( what great scarf friends I have!)

OK here is where OBSESSIVE FOMO comes into play. I could not pass up on SE Wild Singapore or Animopolis, especially when they fund a good cause. Just tell me its a fundraiser and I will seek a scarf maybe to the ends of the earth, and I am totally grateful to my dear scarfie friends here in TPF who so kindly attained and shipped them to me. Thank you, dear gal pals for these two amazing silks for my tansu!

How wonderful to have such a good SA! But it’s so exciting to see a grail on the secondary market!Three other silks to enter my collection this year...
The first scarf I purchased from the Spring/Summer 2020 collection was Plumes en Fête in the white and multicolor CW, but almost immediately after I bought it, I realized that I wanted the orange CW, but I got sidetracked with other scarves, then Covid lockdowns struck and orange Plumes went to the back burner... Then, this year, I decided I had to act fast or I would lose it forever. As major FOMO hit me, my SA was luckily able to locate one for me in March

And, now for some Sales Goggles finds beginning with Au Coeur de la Vie in this wonderful pearly CW which I always admired. When it turned up in wonderful condition in the mid-$300s, I had to pounce

Though I own two great CWs of Tous les Bateaux du Monde, I always adored the cobalt blue. At exactly $100 less than current regular retail, I just couldn’t pass it up. An unheard of price nowadays for this design

The pairing is fabulous on so many levels- the theme, the colors, the knot!I haven't had many FOMO or bargains so far this year, but I did have a few Must-buys.
The one I'm showing now is a grail that I pursued for 5.5 years. In Jan 2016, our previous Scarf Mistress @ABQ2ATL showed CLF twisted in a tie with Printemps Ete.

I loved the Death & The Maiden vibe. I have the CLF and I've been looking for the red cw of Printemps Ete ever since. It was always too expensive or, if a bargain, I missed it. Recently, I saw it at a bargain price again, but the seller strangely only shows 2 photos of every scarf in their listings: a tied version and a one-eighth sliver. Before I could enquire further, it was snapped up by a braver soul than me. I finally found my red Printemps Ete last week in my own backyard - at a consignment store that I've never walked into before, but which happened to list the scarf online. It wasn't a bargain, but it wasn't atrociously priced either, a hair less than current retail for a 70cm. Now I can finally try to do my own Death and the Maiden!

Let me put this out there: I’m happy to help anyone hunt for grails! I enjoy a mission even if not my ownBonjour!
Another impulse buy this year. I saw it on @Bova123 and had (HAD I say) to have it. I even found it with her help!

Excellent pairing!Well, I forgot, until @Pirula and @momasaurus posted gavs, that I bought a few impulse cuties, too! But in H Math, aren't gavs a bit like a rounding error (not at reseller insane prices, but...)? Here are two together; a total impulse search after seeing Momasaurus' beautiful 90 and an Evil Bay "make an offer" at bedtime that I woke up owning. So happy to have both. I think they like each other!!
