My condolence to you, dear RBH.
Your Dame du Coeur is pretty in these colours.

Thank you, Croisette and thank you for the kind comments from all of you. Karen - The jacket is from OSKA, on clearance from some prior season, and it isn't tweed, but I love all the colors in the fabric. It is mostly brown, but there is enough black in there to wear with black pants. The perfect subdued colors for me, because pure black will drain the color out of my face. And, Dame du Coeur was the perfect scarf for today. Dark, but with a bit of humor.

you and @momasaurus have inspired me to wear mine. This is a wonderfully classic design. It’s been so long I’m not quite sure if I have the same as you Moma. Mine might be darker.

Red you inspired me to share a little of my origin story. My mom was a public servant in Trinidad. Working first for the Ministry of Health, then the Ministry of Education until she retired. For those unfamiliar, a public servant is another name for a government employee and those ministries are the British equivalent of your American departments of health or education. Trinidad was a British colony up until 1962 so most of our pillars are British modeled - system of government, education, law, main religion (Catholicism), language, and our spelling (lol) etc. Back in the day and in my childhood they all wore uniforms and I remember her mixing and matching the suit jackets and pants with multiple solid or patterned blouses or inner shells. I loved seeing the outcome and the effect of her adding a brooch or necklace for some pizazz. She started pretty young in the service as a clerk typist and stenographer - elevating to the highest grade level possible and running her own department years later. I always remember seeing those pitman shorthand books around the house and being totally unable to make sense of the hieroglyphics. I had Les Sportives on my list forever and two came up on TRR in two days and of course I ordered both being unable to choose a colorway. Shoutout to @Snausages for pinging me about it! I can’t decide which to return and the window is closing soon! I’ve included two pics of my mama in her uniforms and I raise a glass to her this night. **cheers**

Foxy. My two cents. They both are amazing. While I am always personally attracted to black so I would say that one. I want to say to go for the other one because I think you would look great on those colors!! I would also say that you should look at your collection and what you have already and see if either one fills a hole better. Because they Both obv would be a wonderful addition. And I do not think you’d need to keep both. If you loved the design that much you would have already decided to keep both imo. Again, just my two cents!!

My scarf of the day is Dame du Coeur a Vous L’Honneur. Both @Living.la.vida.fifi and @momasaurus own this scarf. I'm wearing it today, because as moma has said, it goes so beautifully with many outfits. Thank you, Fifi, for highlighting this scarf earlier in the week.

@Maedi sisters with AdS. @HoneyLocks, what fascinating horsemanship. The wonderful textile art in Alice Shirley’s beloved design is the Shyrdak hand-made felt wool rug-making of the Kazakhs and Kyrgyz people. Your AdS varieties are fabulous, Maedi. Here are my two, both 90s but I wouldn’t kick if I found a gav. What a beautiful design!

Wlodek Kaminski in his Selle des Steppes depicts an antique embroidered saddle from Turkmenistan in the Steppes of Central Asia. The Hermès catalog states, “This virtuoso design by Wlodek Kaminski reproduces a saddle from late 19th-century Turkmenistan, conserved in the Émile Hermès collection. This ceremonial saddle, with its high pommel skillfully riveted with fine horn plates, features an embroidered cushion and cover. The saddlecloth, which covers the horse’s lower back during parades, features a two-headed eagle, emblem of the Russian Empire, amid a varied menagerie and an abundance of floral motifs. The two crowned heads symbolize Europe and Asia, the continents across which its vast territory was spread at the time.” The saddle inn the illustration is trimmed by a Hermè sangles strap and this iconic design is repeated on the borders.

Following pics of the scarf, a collage of examples of antique Turkmen embroidery cloth and a saddle

Zoe Pauwel’s Rêve d’Australie, or Dream of Australia, is a design full of delightful decorative graphics inspired by the prehistoric rock art found in Australia’s caves in Kakadu National Park. Some of the images were created up to 20,000 years ago by the aboriginal Gagudju people of the region.

After the scarf pictures, a series of images of the paintings and carvings found inside the caves.

For Pierre d’Orient et d’Occident, or Stones from East and West, Zoe Pauwels took her inspiration from exquisite European inlay work and pietra dura which flourished in the Baroque era especially in Italy.

Following the scarf pics, some examples of marble inlay and pietra dura found on objects and furniture.

Sophie Koechlin’s L’Art Indien des Plaines, or Art of the Plains Indians takes its inspiration from the textiles, embroidery and bead work characteristic of the Native American Plains tribes, notably the Sioux, Cheyenne, Apache, Cherokee and Blackfeet tribes.

Below are some pictures of the scarf followed by a collage of some examples of the tribal art of these tribes. The picture on the upper right is from an exhibition entitled, L’Art Indien des Plaines which took place at Paris’ Musee Quay Branly in 2014

I first visited Scotland as a college student and fell in love with Scottish jewelry. Today I'd like to focus on some of the Scottish jewelry featured in the Hermès scarf Fleurs D'ecosse.

View attachment 5274795

Beginning in the upper left are examples of the kilt pin. The pin is usually worn on the lower corner of the outer apron of a kilt. It's purpose is to add weight to prevent the apron from blowing open. The Armstrong family kilt pin represents my Scottish ancestors.

In the upper right are examples of Scottish Luckenbooth brooches. This brooch is heart shaped and is often given as a token of love. It often comes in the form of two hearts woven together and more ornate brooches have a crown pattern.

Moving to the lower right we see examples of feather brooches. This photo is of a vintage Scottish plume feather brooch pin from MoodyBoudoir on Etsy.

Finally on the lower left are brooches that were used to fasten clothing together. The ring and pin style is known as a penannular brooch.

My SOTD is Fleurs D'ecosse. I was only outside for a few moments. Yes, it is snowing heavily here right now.
