Great idea and beautiful silkI like wearing a CSGM with a sleeveless dress instead of a heavy jacket.
The Samourai Scarf is my brightest one and it matches perfectly to my many outfits. View attachment 5242983
“Scarf Goblin”Too late pour moi
All I intended was to buy one scarf... and then the Scarf Goblin whispered sweet nothings into my ear...
Yikes! (on both counts)Just last week, I slipped while going down the stairs. I'm usually very careful on the steps because I'm paranoid about falling down. But I needed to go to work and the stairs were freshly mopped, so, despite my cautiousness, I skidded. Luckily my stairs corkscrew, so my rear end only bumped down a few steps before I came to a halt. It reminded me of a dreadful nightmare I once had which had me slipping on a smooth marble floor headed straight for a downward escalator that tossed me onto another marble floor which led to another escalator, ad infinitum. I remember the terror fading into boredom after a whileIt ended with me bumping down a curved staircase and my father at the bottom of the stairs asking me where I'd been

My old office had many stairs and there were many accidental falls over the years. Broken bones and chipped teeth were common, especially after people started walking down the stairs while texting on their cellphones.
My old office also supposedly had many ghosts. Some of the buildings had been around since the 1950s and the oldest were said to be former army barracks. One of my friends claimed that his office was haunted, because the typewriter would have a sheet of typed gibberish in the morning. Another friend never worked weekends or came in first in the morning, because she said a child spirit would appear when there were few people around. Cabbies told me that the stereotypical lady in white would beckon to them from the taxi stand at midnight. And in our radio conty suites in the basement, back in the days of vinyl records and quarter-inch audio tapes, you could record a song, and when you played back the recording, a shriek would be heard drowning out the song.

Nifty imagery...He had been told thousand times not to meddle in the Forest spirits’ affairs.
And there he was, forever falling into the void, his limbs frenetically and wildly flailing.
After he had stalked and slain the white doe, myriad lights had appeared in the dusky woods and the Forest had looked enchanted, so full of light and ethereal music that, blinded, he had lost his bearings and suddenly felt the ground sinking beneath his feet, everything abruptly going pitch-black all around.
The only sounds he could hear now were cries of animals in pain and howlings of long-forgotten winds fiercely blowing in the desolate expanses of the infinite outer world.
Then, nothing. All was engulfed in darkness, silence and emptiness. All he could feel was the sharp pain of the dying white doe pervading his whole being. He was becoming the pain. He was being the pain. He realized it would last forever -if forever still had a meaning in this black hole- the stabbing pain, the whirling fall, the everlasting night, that it was his ineluctable punishment, under the silent watchful and indifferent gaze of the legendary Great Forest Spirit.
Unless anyone or anything showed to him the mercy he had lacked…
Haha, thanks- yes, they definitely permeate the net!Absolutely brilliant, tns! Love this! Apparently microfibers travel via internet as well... Thanks to you scarfies here. ❤
Love your ClF. It is a,beauty in spite of Mr. Bones.
Thnx, agree- @xincinsin’s wittily named scarf goblin is busy at workOh, well done @turfnsurf -- the cautionary tale we all need but if we are here reading, it is too late for sure! That silken fiber did its work on me for sure and continues to whisper its terrible sweet nothings against all reason... Your C'est la Fete is spectacular in this tie with that top.
So cozy & what a great get away!Off topic, and traveling for a week but yesterday I had a delightful scarfie lunch with two lovely and experienced collectors-- got to pore over some serious treasures beautifully photographed in a scarf "book," have fun at the pretty H boutique and check out an actual Real Real store! On my way out of town, these shoes followed me to the car so I kept them... Here's my Folklore triangle, new shoes and the frosty morning I woke up to.

Wonderful description of the cowboy life & Charlie Russell paintings (& his bronzes) and the continuing saga of "Ghost Riders in the Sky". Such clever development of a story line. As a collector of Western paintings & bronzes myself, (my family room is in Western decor & includes a framed Kermit Oliver Les Cheyennes - but that's an Hermes aside) your DH's painting is a true gem. Lucky girl.I'm finishing out the week of Ghost Riders in the Sky by returning to the song's cowboy roots with my other colorway of Les Mustangs. This scarf shows cowboys hard at work.

While Robert Dallet is a great artist, his happy smiling cowboys do not reflect the grit of the job. In 1901 Western artist Charles Marion Russell painted "The Strenuous Life" which better captures the difficulty and danger of the cowboy life.

When my late FIL (born 1924) was a boy growing up during the Great Depression on his grandmother's farm in Western Minnesota, she had a hired hand who had been a cowboy during the late 1800s. The hired hand gave my FIL this painting (oil on newspaper) that he had done. It was a prized possession of my FIL and hung in his office his entire adult life. DH inherited this painting from his father and it remains a family treasure with real ties to the history of his family.

The tension and danger shown in this copy of "The Strenuous Life" are genuine. I think of the hard life that these cowboys must have led, and hopefully our old cowboy in the song heeded the warning of the Ghost Riders in the Sky to change his ways.

Oh my! I hope the kitties adjust soon. Neighbour's Cat used to meow into my face at 3am to request (demand) snacks which I blearily provided while reminding her that we are not a kitty B&B.
What a completely FANTASTIC week it has been! The scarfies really pulled out all the stops on story time!
BRAVO everyone!!!!
Of course, it's still a little early for Sunday where I am, so I will finish this week off for myself with one last scary tale....
It's 1:53 AM, and I am still awake, waiting for the dreaded TIME to arrive....the dreaded FALL BACK, that so many people love, and I hate. Why??? Why do we do it???(I hate both time changes to be brutally honest. They mess me up for weeks....)
But while everyone GAINS an extra hour, I do not.... Nope, I don't. Because, for the cats, 7 or 8 AM (feeding time) will now be 6 or 7 AM, and outside potty time will not be 4:30 or 5 AM but 3:30 or 4, until I can work them forward...Their body knows the time, not the clock! So I expect I will be passed out around my usual time to post in the morning. So I am doing it early (...erm...late...)
Now onwards for me. (But feel free to share some more stories too if you like...)
