Scarves Scarf of the Day 2021 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

[Nahreen]

A wonderful story and I looove your gav in this cw, Nahreen. It is a perfect carriage to be showcased as haunted.

Thank you so much Karenska. I enjoyed writing up this little ghost story loosely based on the history of this scarfdesign.

Oooooh, delightfully chilling tale.
Fabulous scarf- you look smashing!

Thank you dear turnsurf. Truly enjoyed this weeks theme and all the different stories, everyone is so creative. I enjoyed your story with all the different photos.

A well told-tale, a beautiful scarf and the perfect lipstick! Home run, @Nahreen!

Thank you dear. DH had to put up with the orange lipstick once again.

Thank you, Maedi!

That special edition Cosmographia is so lovely. I'm realizing that a red hem is a rarity in my collection!

Yesterday's SotD was Les Boxes by Jean-Louis Clerc (old photo, but same outfit). If I understood correctly, this was first issued in 2006, posthumously. It's one of the few "classic" style scarves I have; it has the wide borders I typically avoid, but I think the contrast hem makes a big difference.

I love this cw @labelo and the dark hem raises it a notch for sure!

What a great story, Lkbnola, and I love the place photos. Your Zabavushka is TDF. My favorite cw, it look so beautiful on you. And very appropriate to your story!

Thank you!

Thank you, @Karenska , for hosting Ghost week. And, @bunnycat , I loved your Twilight Zone introduction to J Week.

I'm wearing Jan Bajtlik's Cosmographia Universalis today. It's my crossover scarf, because it is easy to imagine the ghost herd from hell "a-plowing through the ragged sky and up a cloudy draw" here.

This is beautiful on pink @Redbirdhermes. Love your "cross-over" choices!

They were pretty good, this time... Didn't get me up until 6:30 (my body still says 7:30). Kitty B&B- that's me 24/7/365


Thank you Croisette!



I love your marvelous parade of Js Croisette!



Thank you Tasha! Your Sous l'Egide is fantastic in this colorway!




These are both fabulous lanit! And I adore that SE Cosmographia!



Beautifully put together LKB! Enjoy your trip!




Thank you kindly! If only ALLL my scarves could have come to me at this kind of deal!



Thank you dear Karenska!



Thank you textilegirl! I am so thrilled with this one. In excellent shape (but missing care tag) and I can live without that big ol' thing...



Thank you! I did do something similar this year. The yard decor became a sort of "personal memorial" for me this year. We lost 3 of the 4 large ash trees in the February storm, and so I used a lot of bundles of wood and brush stacks with my pumpkins and scarecrows to memorialize all the things that didn't make it. I too find Halloween a reflective time, as I tend to operate solitary most of the time anyways, but this year especially. I am glad we set up the candy giving station outside though, so the knocking and doorbell didn't upset any kitties this year. I'll probably keep doing this from now on.



Your J-L Clerc is beautiful! And I think you may be very right about the contrast hem making a difference. I shy away from blank borders as well, but that dark hem is delicious with this one.

Thank you @bunnycat for the compliment and good wishes!

TY @Nomad for the compliment and returning it for the history and lovely mod shot!

Oh @blydia so sorry about the snag! But as I learned in Wabi Sabi week often we are the only ones who see the flaws in our scarves. Your precious bebe is worth a thousand shawls, snagged or otherwise!

This week I’ve seen more Zabavushkas than I have in several years! Mine was rehomed long ago for lack of knotting skills. If I’d seen your mod shot @Agrume I would have Daren how stunning it truly is

TY @Awillow !


Beautiful scarves @Redbirdhermes and love the history behind them!

Beautiful double face @turfnsurf !


Both are such lovely shawls @Tasha1 !

this is gorgeous @Marie-the-Mary !



TY and oh my your collection is fabulous @LKBNOLA !

Love the scarf ring @tlamdang08 !


Fabulous pair of silks @labelo !

Beautiful j’s @bunnycat ! Every pet owner can relate to the nightmare of time changes and feeding schedules


@Croisette7 your collection is breathtaking for its depth and beauty!



Beautiful blues @lanit !


More stunners @Croisette7 !



Ty @Karenska ! What a beautiful journal - I am envious of knitting skills but lack the focus to learn this. A goal for the future!

Interesting @Snausages how scarfs come and go. I have had my Zabavushka for longer than most of my silks and yet rarely see it on tpf and, as you say, suddenly two (same cw!) in a week!

Really nice combination with the sweater. Is it Missoni? I favour Missoni knits & it's fun to successfully pair them with an Hermes scarf.
Alas I am still waiting for my local boutique to receive any cw of LL......le sigh...

Thank you so much @shrpthorn! I love Missoni also but haven't found the right colors this past season for my scarfs! This is a cmpany called @Isla. The colors are perfect for so many silks and it is soft and comfy too. Bonus!

Thank you, Turf, I wish I could have been more present but being out of town on vacation didn’t leave me with much time. You all carried the day with your wonderfully creative and scary stories and drop-dead gorgeous silks! Thank you so much. I’m still trying to get through; not an easy job, just spent the last two hours and still have about 14 pages to get through, so I’m going to do alot of loves/thanks/wows, etc, and comment sparingly.
Here are a few photos:
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
The Titian Room. The one Titian, The Rape of Europa, that hangs here permanently is with the other companion five paintings comprising the incredible special Titian exhibit that we saw. We could not take flash-free photos of the exhibit itself, but it was ok to take them throughout the rest of the museum.View attachment 5243894

The Gardner is spectacular and your photos do it such justice (of the beach and your scarf as well!) @Karenska.

Beautiful intro, Bunnycat, and I do hope you got some sleep. Congratulations on your Panoplie Equestre - it is stunning. And I love your Animapolis MT slim- sometimes I wish I’d gotten that one instead of the 90. I love my 90 but the slim is just a darling amount of silk. Yours looks lovely on you.
J is for the way you jamboree through town:

I am J-adjacent with a K today lol. With Kongo’s graff gav on today for a walk along the water while killing time between kids activities.

Beautiful @Nomad-- I agree completely with @turfnsurf that you do "hair H" perfectly!

Jan Bajtlik’s Animapolis pulled me off my 3-year stay on Ban Island (though in fairness Alice Shirley’s Awooooo! gave me a brief R&R visit to the mainland). My blue Animapolis and Sweet Dreams came from the same scarfie friend; the second Animapolis came from h.com when they seemingly found a corner of their warehouse where the prior year’s designs had been hiding, while the second Sweet Dreams came from another silk sister.
The rest were boutique buys: 600 Chevaux from the men’s section, and two colorways of L’Epopee 70 (the bottom tied with two Bingata twillies).

Not pictured: my Cosmographia CS which will have to wait until the end of the week when it’s back to fall weather (for the next several days it is back to near-summer temps in the 70s)View attachment 5244113

Thank you and if that is true, much of it is due to the year spent here admiring, planning and acquiring!

All of the Animapolis color ways were fantastic! And the grey is perfect against your sweater!

Taking advantage of J Week to introduce my new-to-me Jeu de Cartes. This design is interesting because the bias fold will show either the black cards or the red cards. I've had it for months, but it never seemed to make my list for the various theme week picks. Today is its day. Showing the Aces of Hearts and Diamonds.

I'm sure you did! it was a lot fun.

 

[Karenska]

Taking the story (and scarf) baton from @laurenad for my swan song this week:
There is a small town in the middle of nowhere. And in the middle of that town is a forest. And in the middle of that forest there is a lake with a well-maintained dock and a small wooden hut with a tightly locked door. A second traveler has arrived, and spellbound by the eerie beauty of the water, wanders down the dock. The sky is a brilliant blue, the water grey, almost as though lake and sky have reversed. The spiky plants along the shore have altered their coloration to orange and blue, echoing the colors along the cliff face and the mountains beyond. Something compels our traveler to try the lock. Surprised, she finds the knob twists easily in her hand. Crossing the threshold she surveys a small room—windowless and bare of furnishings. The only item in the cabin is a small print on the far wall. It seems almost translucent, as though hung in front of a window. She approaches and exclaims with delight, “Why it is an old map!” In the four corners of the parchment, the winds puff their cheeks in a fat and friendly fashion. Along the side and top margins are drawn mythical beasts and sea creatures of legend: winged horses and scaly serpents, narwhals and behemoths with oddly soulful eyes and appealing faces. Along the bottom of the map, the cartographer has warned: “Here be Monsters.” Oddly, the center appears faded, blank. As our traveler studies the map, lines and shapes emerge but shorelines dissolve and boundaries shift. Is this where I am, she wonders? Where am I? She feels a frisson of fear, then genuine trepidation. Nothing has changed but the light in the room. Strange cursive letters race across the glowing map. A bolt clicks shut. She whirls around. Gusting winds and crashing surf fill the air. The cabin walls tilt outward and the map billows like a sheet, becoming the floor she stands upon. Under her feet a red x forms and the words hic es in Latin script. The creatures in the margins rise up, thrashing and glaring with menacing eyes. Her shoes are soaked, ensnared in ropes of kelp. The map has disappeared but the letters forming on the wet sand are fearsomely clear: F-i-n-i-s-t-e-r-r-e. Finisterre. Lands End. Place of no return. There is no turning back. No turning back from the end of the world…

Such a spooky tale, LKB. Almost as if she was entering hell. Or just death - the state of no return. I love the scarf you chose for its illustration. It's as eerie as the story.

As catching up is almost impossible, let me thank you here for your kind compliments and observations over the last few days!
