Fabulous! (I would wear that dress in a heartbeat) Lucky girl to get to play in grandma's scarf drawers!

I love these stories. Some people think they have to have a scarf right away - others enjoy the long game. This is lovely!
I would be too @Snausages! What a great story and a great find. It looks wonderful with the yellow stripes so you have one top already...I have also encountered the TRR tag application horror show when the original care tag has been detached. On the plus side, some scarves are in otherwise great condition minus care tag and thus cost a lot less. H Math!
Thank you so much @Foxy trini! And thank you @Snausages and @paula24jen and all the rest of you lovelies who were so kind about my gav pairing. Everything I know about gavs I learned here from @Cookiefiend, @Nomad and @Karenska. I am their humble grasshopper...

Thank you!!!
Thanks so much!
Sigh.
(I also need a green with envy emoji)
Today's SOTD was a 'grab it before it disappears from the web site' purchase. A large wash silk with Dallet's cheetah... I purchased this so fast before it could disappear, which it did for quite a while.
Acinonyx Jubatus

D’oh! It’s Roue arriere su Carrosse Imperial de la Cour de Vienne. It looks a bit like Romantique (haven’t taken a flat photo yet so here’s a bad screengrab)

H Sales Goggles! As a dog lover I’m partial
to the Colliers design by Virginia Jamin. I’ve got a 90cm silk and a 140cm cs, as well as a 90cm wash and twilly of Colliers et Chiens.
So do I need a maxi twilly? No. I don’t even particularly care for maxi twillies. At least I didn’t until I saw awesome mod shots here. This when this appeared at well below retail I jumped. It helped that, like the Coupons Indiennes I scored last month, there was a typo in the title so if anyone had a search set up it wouldn’t be included.
Now I need to get my hands on Woof Woof. So exciting to see some A/W showing up on h.com! I’ve got a friend in Paris right now and pinged her to hunt for a Woof Woof!

We are - thank you!
Thank you sweetheart!
How wonderful to share your love of art & H with her
She does get a kick out of it, and since I have <cough> several
... she has lots to choose from!Oh thank you so much Foxy T, that's such a lovely though!

Thank you so much! She is a very sweet girl.
ohh such a beautiful scarf, but I love it with the twilly!Another Must-Buy. This was not a bargain. I paid a lot more than current retail for it. A few years ago, @lanit showed SOTD an interesting scarf called Calvacadour Clair de Lune. I liked it but it rarely appears in the resale market. I missed out on one about 2 years ago, not that it was priced even close to retail. This one is from a Japanese seller, purchased a couple of months ago, and was one of those rather anonymous listings that don't tell you much and test your identification skills. I hesitated, but finally pulled the trigger because I didn't want to search any longer.
It's brown, the only cw for this design. So to brighten it up, a true bargain - the Folklore twilly which became even cheaper with the use of a voucher, and was bought because it was so cheerfully bright and we need cheer in our lives.
I will have to wear this a lot to bring down the cost per wear

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! wow...
hahaha - I'll tell her - she will love that!
such a gorgeous and soft color.
hahaaaa! I have to laugh at "So do I need a maxi twilly? No. I don’t even particularly care for maxi twillies."
I completely understand!
Apologies for the mix up some how in this post - I can't even figure out how to fix it!
Oh my gosh…Did that come off wrong.. Like I was saying yellow didn’t look good on you?? I meant, I know what you mean because I think I can not handle certain yellows ( think it does ME no favors!). I have to analyze the yellow on a scarf to make sure I can make it work. oh my gosh sorry if that came off wrong. ugh. Darn writing And not taking the time there to write a few more words to clarify! So sorry dear Snausages! N agree with other comments that the yellow stripe w it totally works. Thanks for the name. I didn’t realize that had Viennese origins. very cool

Thank you so much! I folded the scarf into a triangle and almost knotted it like a cowboy knot. But instead of tying bothe ends in the front I looped one end around the scarf and pulled the other end through the loop. I got this idea form a video tutorial on the instagram page "scarflookbook". The video was posted on 22 November 2020 with a Parures de Samouraïs carré. I just used a triangle instead of a bias fold to start with.
So, is it an impulse purchase if you walk into H, see something, and fall truly madly deeply in love? Perhaps in some ways, so close enough. A souvenir of my lovely day with darling Fifi (who did nothing to dissuade me!)

I love this design and it is a perfect match with your blouse or dress in the first photo. I had to look twice to see where the shawl ends and the blouse/dress begins. A perfect souvenir and a gorgeous accessoire!
Thank you, it's a lovely design indeed! Your Victorian pendant is very special and the maiden's face is very beautiful. Historic jewellery is marvellous in it's detail!
Pelages et Camouflages is a marvellous design and your cw is great! Red and yellow are perfect for this design and bring out the borders beautifully.
We are half sisters on the Carré Kantha – your mousseline is so pretty. How lovely that you could spend time with your family!
It's such a lovely shade of pink, and looks lovely on you.
Thank you so much, I'm quite pleased with it, too!
This looks fun and the scarf ring is a perfect match!
Thank you so much, it's a special design and I'm very glad I found it!
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
Thank you so much, I really hope you can go back soon because it's an incredible place!
I love it when I win auctions like that! Your Early America mousseline is a beauty, the soft colours are perfect for the gossamer thin silk.
Very striking against your black shirt. And I love how your pearl earrings call black to the white dots on the scarf!
Three beauties in a row! Parures des Maharajas is wonderful in your cw and On a summer day looks so lovely white your white shirt and coral trousers. Rocaille II is a lovely abstract take on the Rocaille design!
This is so lovely on you, the colours are just perfect!
A marvellous combination of two very beautiful designs. You have a great scarf ring, is it by Hermès too?
Thank you so much! The earrings are my small pearl earrings and they are so easy to wear that I always use them when I am too lazy for anything more elaborate.
Marvellous – I always love your chic scarf knots! You really wear every shade of blue so well.
Sometimes my impulse buys are along the “Oh what the heck, let’s give it a whirl” lines. 
Such as this Giant Triangle! (which I’ve worn 4 times since April, so I think it’s a success!)
Sometimes they’re “Eh… that’s a bit more than I want to pay, but it rarely comes up… so…”
Such as this beautiful Les Ailes de la Soie! (Which just arrived!)
