Thanks sweetie! 
scary story, but delightful scarf!The concept of yin and yang. The Chinese believe that places with a lot of yin or negative energy attract denizens of the spirit world. I grew up in an apartment with a lot of yin in it. It was smack in the middle of a long block of 3-storey walk-ups. We were in the centre of the block, on the second level. My stairwell was the darkest of them all. When you opened the front door, there was a long dark corridor running from the sunny front balcony to the sunny back kitchen. A study in contrasts indeed.
I always saw shadows in the periphery of my field of vision but paid them no mind. My grandma always told us that if we didn't offend the spirits, they would not trouble us. She had a shrine to the Goddess of Mercy in her room and prayed to the Kitchen god near the hearth.
One night, my sister had a nightmare. She was around 6 years old then. She woke up crying that a man with a sword was looking at her from the corridor. After careful questioning, my mum and grandma deduced that it was perhaps a wandering spirit of a Japanese soldier who perished in WW2. There was a flurry of cleansing activities such as offering prayers and scattering holy floral water.
Many of the Japanese military officers brought samourai swords with them to Singapore. So here's my Samourai scarf in memory of that long ago nightmare. Where my childhood home was is now a subway station. And there are stories of ghosts riding the subway after midnight, so maybe Mr Japanese soldier is now travelling round Singapore

Thank you, Magjes!
perfectly put together!Oh, you guys! Great story telling! Sadly, I can relate to cookie's line:
she was late for work again and was feeling a little stressed
So I will walk on with another c'est la fete, which needs no explanation

Thank you, LKBNOLA!Just a delightful post all the way around @Redbirdhermes and I have to respectfully (but vehemently) disagree that you can't wear black! Black and pearls even without the scarf? I am sure it would be a total win on you!
Thank you @Cookiefiend and yes, I think so too! I love the design and have never been able to resist architectural details, stained glass etc... (on your poem, I thought you were going for some haiku/tanka action but you surprised me!)
I love everything about this post @bunnycat but that wee pumpkin patch is just precious...
Wow! Amazed that you got them all in there @blydia! A true Monster Mash...
What a beautiful look and what a clever and creative story, charmingly illustrated @Cookiefiend!
Agrume!
Very spooky on this navy top @Agrume!
Just fantastic storytelling @Lauranad-- what a treat to read-- and that scarf is definitely a "dreamscape" or "nightmarescape" as you have cast it! We should collect these in a thread-- a little TPF scarf story anthology...
Just lovely, twin. You have paired one of my seasonal favorite silks with a perennially favorite ring and tie @MissIn!
This is just super creative and what a cute and clever tie @Snausages! As Agrume said, I love your pink and white outfit.
Fantastic gavs!
How very beautiful on the brick colored sweater @Croisette7! Delighted to steal another styling idea as I am your twin on this cw, too (the light blue border, correct?)...
Lovely @xincinsin -- and I can totally relate to long gone ghostly childhood places filled with memories spooky and sentimental both!
Beautiful! When you are not stressed I would love to see this one flat @Awillow!
Great look!
The scarf is so pretty and the bag so summery!
such a beautiful scarf!
Hello twin, and your rando knot works perfectly for this scarf!
I wore it on my head one year and made a little kid cry and run to his mom when I answered the door. 
Sorry...I should be sorry, I know.... but Thank you!C'est la Fete is the bestest!Oh, you guys! Great story telling! Sadly, I can relate to cookie's line:

Thank you! I need to find one more batch to complete it.
OMG- with your shoes!
Perfect indeed!Beautiful and I love your new Garden Party!
Yesterday for Hallowmas, wearing the perfect skeletal scarf of the Season....C'est la Fete... (this one is the original 70cm, in the Kaki dip dye colorway)
Living in Texas, it is inevitable I grew up appreciating many Mexican cultural traditions, among them Dia de los Muertos, which I think officially goes from November 1-2. But Halloween, and the following 2 days comprise a a full event since the early Middle Ages called Allhallowtide. Of course, this one has a more serious tone to it, so I think I'll stick to the more light hearted and celebratory Dia de los Muertos.

GTN was going to be my scarf of the day for it’s virgin outing. But I remembered I sprayed perfume today 
and dont do that when I am wearing a silk. So I wiped as much as I could off and put on the scarf for a photo and then took it off. Never even got to take the tag off

Some childhood memories are emblazoned in our minds! I love how our themes can bring back such clear pictures and that yellow is divine!The concept of yin and yang.

Pictures or it didn’t happen!well done - both in the knot (and why knot?), and the mummy reference!

Thank you so much!

Whatever makeup you are wearing in that first mod shot really makes your cheekbones pop
Love the scarf and that GP!!! Are the outer pockets and strap new for this design?
As long as he doesn’t touch the scarves…Woefully behind and driving to our mini-vacation destination - Boston and Cape Ann! Hoping to read your stories and catch up over the next few days. What a wonderful week!! You’re all showing some beautiful and theme-appropriate silks.
Here is a Hermès ghost story! I found it on the internet. From ghostsofpalmbeach.com. It should be edited for grammar but since it’s not my work,I’ll just copy and paste the text. I love the illustration.
Haunted Hermes
Hermès International S.A., at 240 Worth Avenue or simply Hermès is a French high fashion house established in 1837, today specializing in leather, lifestyle accessories, perfumery, luxury goods, and ready-to-wear. Its logo, since the 1950s, is of a Duc carriage with horse. Originally, it was a horse saddle shop.
Most retail stores spend up to two hours straightening for their next day of work as a store on the Island has to have the aura of the highest class of establishments to meet it’s clientele’s needs. Hermes is no exception. Well, except for boxes. Take a look at the store, the clothing items are equally spaced apart, the scarves hung just so. The boxes, in contrast are a mess. They also are in the window so the guests can see them.
There is a reason. The boxes don’t seem to want to stay on the shelves. They are often scattered about the floor. Sometimes in unique formations. Sometimes in a row. They are never in the same place, but nevertheless, they don’t end up the shelves either the next morning. This caused quite a stir in Hermes. The employees accused each other of sabotage. They refused to work the night shift so they wouldn’t get blamed for not doing the work they spent up to an hour completing. The manager actually took over that responsibility to keep the peace but found the next day, that it made no difference. The staff wasn’t lying. The boxes would end up on the floor. Clearly no one earthly was doing this.
It wasn’t until the manager’s granddaughter came to work with her grandmother one early Sunday morning that the story started to become clear. The young girl stated, “Grandma, who made a train out of the boxes? You never let me play with them.” Upon consultation with a psychic, it was revealed that a young child who lived above what is now Hermes in the 1930s died of rheumatic fever. He was no older than 6.
When the store was remodeled several years ago, the boy’s energy must have been released into Hermes, and now he plays every night. He makes buildings, trains, cars, and other toys. He never touches the clothing or accessories in the store. He just plays with the boxes. He is not a malevolent spirit, just one who didn’t learn to clean his room before he passed.
The staff at Hermes has the responsibility of cleaning up after him when he plays so there solution is to leave the boxes a mess before they leave. They won’t be there in the morning any way.
Excellent knots and I *really* need to spend time reading the stores behind each scarf in the new season

True story: last night I dreamt I was in some outdoor market and found a cream and copper colored Voyage a Pytheas in one of the stalls. I happily paid $612 for it and ran to show @Living.la.vida.fifi who immediately spotted a big stain and then informed me it was a completely different design.
What a nightmare.
But because the temps fell 20° overnight and the rain moved in, I was able to sashay out the door in Sweet (Sweat?) Dreams

@Snausages that is too funny.... And I adore Sweet (or was that one of the "Sweat" tags ??? ) Dreams

This is hilarious. Loving Mr Bones. He reminds me of my anatomy lessons at uni.
That is a poignant and amazing ghost story, Xincinsin. I hope that soldier can find its rest. Beautiful cw of Samourai. I love gold and grey.The concept of yin and yang.

Such a beautiful design, Blydia, and so appropriate for these special days of remembrance.
They did a version of this bag around 10 years ago (I think) but there are differences: it was a 30 so smaller, was plain not patterned, the strap wasn’t adjustable but mine is, although some came with a zip (but not all) and mine doesn’t.TY! Summer gave its last gasp yesterday so I roughy put the brights for one last appearance for the year
