Happy Halloween, dear Scarfies. A hearty thank you to @Cookiefiend for her hosting of last week’s theme. Most delightful! This week, we are telling Ghost Stories, real or imagined, with our scarves. So without further ado, here is mine.
Bhhhwahhh……

It was a dark and stormy night.Sorry, just kidding
.
The Calèche and the Châle
Delphine had, without knowing, captured the heart of Gabriel, her family’s chauffeur. Due to her sheltered youth and naïveté, she was unaware of Gabriel’s growing love for her. To Delphine, he was their family’s young driver with whom she had grown up. She loved him as a brother and had affectionately dubbed him Ange. As children, they would play in the woods and meadows of the Bois, and he would tease her about her dog, Alouette, whom Delphine adored. “Ah, you love Alouette more than life itself!” he would exclaim, which confused Delphine because to her Alouette was life.

After Gabriel grew old enough to work as the calèche driver, Delphine and he would see each other as he drove Maman and her in their little Duc through the streets of Paris or to the great Bois. There, he would sit atop the roofless carriage and watch her walk with Alouette, becoming ever more smitten with the solitary young woman. Sometimes they would walk together and talk of their childhood adventures.

As the year progressed and Gabriel fell more and more in love, Delphine began to understand this, but could not admit to herself that she, too, was falling in love with him.

One beautiful October evening, Gabriel could no longer keep his love a secret. He presented Delphine with an exquisite blue and rose châle as a pledge of his undying love, and proposed marriage. Confused and somewhat frightened, Delphine refused him.

Brokenhearted, Gabriel fled Paris and found refuge in the sea, which became his home. Out on the seas, he threw the shawl overboard and watched the waves toss it until it disappeared.

Delphine’s heart was broken, too. Too late, she realized what Gabriel meant by loving something “more than life itself”. Falling into a state of grief, she grew ill and died the following October. Alouette soon followed. They were buried together in a simple grave in a wooded stand in the Bois.

Gabriel sailed for many years, burying his sorrow in the incessant, lonely churn of the sea. Eventually, his ship foundered.

As the years passed, people told of strange apparitions they saw in the Bois during autumn. They told stories of a ghostly calèche riding through the woods to a barely marked grave. There, they say, a man and a woman, wearing a blue and rose shawl, embrace and walk hand in hand through the Bois until dawn. A little dog follows.

Thank you, Cookie, for hosting the orange and pink week! And thank you, Karenska, for introducing a ghost story week with a proper scary story!
Lovely, Lanit! Why did the Jardin anglais mousseline not work on me? I admire it on you!
Delightful colours, Croisette, and nice memories of your Paris trip!
So pretty, twin!
This soft Tohy Bohu makes a great scarf!
Great looks, Bunnycat, this orange hem is very uplifting!

I do have a real life scary story for you for this week. Serendipitously, it occurred last week....
It was a dark and stormy night...(I'm not actually sure about that.)
But it was a dark and stormy night anyway. My hair has been through the wringer this past year and a half, and so I decided a few weeks ago to give the bleaching a "rest". So, I bought some high lifting bleach free hair color that was the next closest to the shade I usually do, even the same brand.
Finally, I couldn't take the horror of my brown roots anymore... So I decided to forge ahead with the new color last week.
I mixed. I applied. I tried to focus only on the roots and left it on for the shortest amount of time (in case of "problems"). Then, without looking in the mirror like I usually do, I jumped in the shower to wash it all out and applied the toning (purple) conditioner.
I bided my time for the usual 3 minutes, rinsed, and rinsed, and rinsed....(This stuff takes forever to get out...) and rinsed.
Minutes later, when the steam finally cleared from my bathroom mirror...I saw.... to my absolute horror.....
...hair that was THIS COLOR!
ensued.
I went to MrBcat (who is colorblind and had NO IDEA what I was on about... ) and said I was probably going to have to go crawling on hands and knees to my hairdresser and submit to his retribution....
In a desperate attempt to avoid this embarrassment, I reached for Dr. Google. Salvation was at hand! Like a failed chemistry student, or perhaps a vacuous Dr Jeckyll, I decided to mix this dangerous elixir I found on the interwebs, that purported to have the answer I needed....if only I had lemons and hair conditioner at hand!
I did not, in fact, have any lemons at all at hand, or in the refrigerator. To which I implored Mr Bcat to please make a trip to Whole Foods before closing (it was 9:15) so I would not have to be seen outside the house.
In the mean time, I had informed my fellow SMs the woeful and frightening tale in real time....
Before MrBcat (who selflessly began putting on his shirt and shoes) could risk life and limb on the trek to WF, I stumbled across a lesser known recipe that merely involved Vitamin C tablets and shampoo.
VIT C! I have that in spades around the house!
In to the hopper goes the 3x500mg of Vit C tablets and a substitution of conditioner and shampoo mix and then quickly on to the hair it goes. I mean, if you made it this far...what could it hurt, right????
Mere moment later....I saw the gratifying return of my normal inside of the banana peel blond to my ravaged locks....And several deep conditions later, it is starting to feel a little better.
Thank you for indulging me. I promise this is a real blow by blow, and not embellished in any way....
Carry on!
My hair was not quite as blue as this Modernism Tropicale.....but it was a very near miss!!!!

Indeed!
I really did think I wouldn't be able to undo the over tone (and still don't know why it happened as it's my regular toner....) Makes me a little nervous indeed to do again right now so I'll be waiting the apricot roots out a few more weeks....and then just go back to my regular high lift! 
Thank you!
Thank you turf!

But now I know something extra useful for ascorbic acid! And thank you!

), and have learned to be careful about applying any shampoo or conditioner with dye in it to pale or porous hair. I'm sure you would have been fine but for the purple conditioner. Acid then removed the dye. Whew! Like many during the pandemic, I quit coloring my hair, and it has grown out, and thanks to Jack, I now use undyed and unscented hair products. (FYI, vinegar is another common household weak acid.)Pretty scarf!!
Thank you!
It is sooooooo soft...... 
A great horror story, @bunnycat . I follow Jack Martin colorist on IG, (like that makes me an expert on hair color
Pretty scarf!!
Thank you rbh! Yes- I normally use the purple conditioner that comes with the hair product as my regular conditioner, and since I didn't actually check the mirror before I jumped in the shower, I still have no idea whether it was the dye to did it, or an over tone job (which I have never ever had the displeasure of before this...) But from now on, I am just going to have to stick to my regular "procedure"...
I hadn't thought of vinegar, but do use it as an acidifier when I am dyeing silks with acid based dyes, so I should have thought of that too though I am pleased with the result (and speed) of the ascorbic acid + hair conditioner trick.
Oooh, you do look faab, Cookie, and a fun poem, to boot!
Love that monotone black and white and every tone in between JLR.

I am so glad it all ended ok. Well, as ok as my hair is going to be. I do enjoy this shade, and get lots of compliments, but man....it does take a toll on my hair! I did learn something that I can always use later, so that's another bonus,
thanks sweetie!Oooh, you do look faab, Cookie, and a fun poem, to boot!
