February 14th, 2021 - Sweetheart Silk: Designers you love (also Valentine’s Day)
Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone in Scarfandia!
I hope you have a lovely day, filled with all the things (both intangible and real) that make you feel loved.

My goodness, this is just the the best day ever to start this sweet theme!
Now, I know, asking who is your favorite sweet Hermes designer is almost like asking you to pick a favorite child, a favorite cookie (wait that might just pertain to me), or your favorite pet!
But when it comes to Hermes, and their fabulous designers - we know who we can’t resist! The ones when we see their scarves we say “Take my money!!”
“Let me call you Sweetheart
I'm in love with you
Let me hear you whisper
That you love me too
Keep the love light glowing
In your eyes so blue
Let me call you Sweetheart
I'm in love with you”
Perhaps you’re enamored by the beautiful Robert Dallet cats, smitten by the whimsical beasts of Christine Henry, floored by the floral swirls of Toutsy, infatuated by the vibrant work of Kermit Oliver, or charmed by Annie’s monkey.
One artist I adore is Aline Honore. There is such attention to detail in her work, you could spend a day admiring the scarves. My favorites of hers are Femme aux Semelles de Vent, Pelanges et Camouflage, Fleurs d’Indiennes, Tous les Bateaux du Monde, Voyage de Pytheas, well - the list goes on and on!
For today though, I will start with just 2 of her scarves (because otherwise this post would be 8 miles long), Au Coeur de la Vie and Plumes en Fete.
Au Coeur de la Vie begins at the heart of a living cell, and ends among the branches at the top of the tallest tree in the equatorial rain forest. We see luxuriant vegetation, chameleons, monkeys, humming birds, butterflies, beautiful flowers and vines. The details are truly extraordinary, it is a work of art we get to wear.

Plumes en Fete is a tribute to nature, its beauty and infinite creativity. A whirling crown of feathers from many different birds from all over the world add to this beautiful work of art. You can almost see them dancing in the breeze, a lovely swirl of beauty.

Tell us all, dear scarifies, who makes your heart pitter-patter on this Valentine’s Day, and over this week?
