Thank you and thank you @xincinsin ! I too was astounded by these finds (like, doing a double take astounded). The top is Aratta and they do fabulously embroidered shirts!Amazing that you found two of this elusive grail, @Snausages! And I'm very distracted by your wonderful embroidered shirt!

The pink is a lovely addition and I really enjoy how you matched the four up to have the entire design.This colorway of La Patisserie Francaise is my fourth attempt at getting it right. Appropriately enough, for a scarf showing candies and baked goods, the primary color is vanilla.

I ended 2022 with four colorways of Chorus Stellarum. The pink arrived in the mail three days ago to be my final new scarf arrival of 2022. Chorus Stellarum is my scarf of the day.

Just love this last week of the year in this wonderful thread!! Thank you for all the lovely eye candy so far!! ❤️ - My first and my last shawl this year have been CSGMs: FT came as an unexpected love at first sight into my life and Cosmographia in a CW that I missed out at the time of release. One of my CSGM grails also joined lucky me recently: Imprimeur Fou Charabia!I am, unfortunately, working this week but I will try to post further treasures these next few days…

Beautiful! Sichuan was also a found grail for me this year. I leapt out f my skin when I saw it for a bit under retail. It was in excellent condition too. I can't believe it took my husband's encouragement to get it. I had been searching for months, ever since I saw @Redbirdhermes version. The blue-faced monkeys in the corner! My version of @Teaforparrots Birds! Birds! Birds! Would be Monkeys! Monkeys! Monkeys! I hope to share mine soon! Yours is a colorway I would have pounced on too, it is truly stunning! Many congrats!I am on the road again early tomorrow to spend New Year's Eve weekend with family so am posting more of my recap tonight.
This year I found two of my grails as well as one long-coveted Robert Dallet and a Yannick Manier design, which was a personal goal in this particular cw. Amazingly, only the Dallet was above retail and the Manier was a downright bargain! The favor of the H Math Deities shone down upon me as I hit buy on these four...

HG- this is a wonderful year line up. Y'all are inspiring me to be truthful to myself, look at my records for the year an post a group shot...Thank you dear scarfies for another lovely year. I've so enjoyed being part of this great crew. Although my seasons are reversed here in Australia I love seeing everyone's contributions, and the comraderie we share in our love of silks. My year started by adding a second Eleftheria. This one is really special to me as I had attempted to purchase it several times. And sorry to repeat the story, but I eventually found one late at night after a few beverages with friends. Unfortunately I was on the Austrian site, not the Australian site, I don't know how it happened but my payment went through and subsequently I had Hermes looking all over Austria for my package. It was resolved and cancelled. Luckily the scarf became available on NYE 2021, so I pulled the trigger and received my first scarf of 2022. I had resolved to build a small curated collection of scarves I would wear frequently. That resolution went out the window pretty quickly. First was Eleftheria followed by Marble silk Brides de Gala, Selle Imaginaire, Selle Imaginaire dossard, Grand Theatre Nouveau CSGM, Lanterns Ballons & Cocrdes, Tied up in knots and finally Sur mon nuage. So, at the conclusion of this year. I have decided that even though I have added more scarves, I still feel very happy with my "smallish" curated collection. Wishing you all Health and happiness in 2023.

Thank you LKB! I really am smitten with both of them.Thank you @Katharina Luise, @Pirula, @Karenska, @bunnycat, @Croisette7, @Snausages, @Nomad, @Living.la.vida.fifi and @MAGJES for your kind remarks. I have each and every one of you to thank for your own beautiful mod shots, enablement and inspiration which helped me in my search and planning. Some of you mentioned a fave-- but for me, the favorite is whichever one I am wearing! I think that means they are all good choices, right?
This is beautiful on you and that hem with that coat is perfection @Coco2606 -- and yes, I fell to its charms twice over, as any dog lover must!
I am so happy to "meet" you four beautiful CSGMs @Katharina Luise! Funny how they multiply...
Beautiful and I so enjoyed exploring her website. Thank you for this @Karenska!
Your Flaneries a Versailles and your Gene Kelly gift are both wonderful additions @Pirula!
All beautiful additions to your collection and beautiful on you-- especially love your two triangles @Karenska.
Oh, congratulations on your 2022 grail additions @Sammy Royal. They look wonderful on you-- almost as wonderful as your joyful smile! I have to say that you were the first on TPF to make me look at Faubourg Tropical in that cw and I am delighted to be your twin.
Both of these are so very special in their own ways. I can only aspire to join you in acquiring the first but the Jeu de Petits Bonheurs is a sweet scarf that is on my wish list because of your post earlier this year. It looks marvelous just the way you have tied it and the vignettes are beyond tender. Thank you for this lovely post @Redbirdhermes.
Oh my! Worth every minute of the hunt @Sammy Royal!
Breathtaking @Nomad. No words.
I love all three @Cookiefiend. Your story of your acquisition of Voitures Exquises is one for the annals of Scarf History! And I am so envious that you acquired the lovely marble scarf in Paris! Icing on the cake.
Beautiful both @Coco2606. I am sisters on the Wash blue and love mine.
This Cheval Vague is beautiful-- I love Pagni's graphic style and this seems like such a perfect mix of shape and form and color. Congratulations on both your new acquisitions @bunnycat. I believe we are twins on Lazy Leopardesses-- I succumbed to the noir and the khaki and both are among my most worn silks.
Ah, I love your recap @hotgalaxy! We are twins a few times over but you always make the perfect selections-- so much so that the cw seems truly made for you! Now I want to know what is on your new season list! On to 2023...
You wear these so well! Stunning. Safe travels!I am on the road again early tomorrow to spend New Year's Eve weekend with family so am posting more of my recap tonight.

A magnificent selection for you AnnaE!Hey all, I am not really ready to sum up the scarf year yet since I still have a few new ones to wear. Here is a Costume de Fête in 06.

That border really does make the scarf. Fantastic!Another model that was a big hit (I think I'll go for other colours).
The little bees are adorable

Thank you kindly! (It really is a thing....)FOMO with scarves is terrible...
You did Wellington, it suits you perfectly !
Thank you hg! Yes- on them mend now.You lucky lady, this new triangle looks so perfect on you. Hope you are feeling a little better now.
You have a fantastic selection for your CS family!This colorway of La Patisserie Francaise is my fourth attempt at getting it right. Appropriately enough, for a scarf showing candies and baked goods, the primary color is vanilla.

Thank you Snausages!Beautiful DC @H’sKisses - that one is definitely a chameleon design!
Brava @Coco2606 - these are both such fun scarves
I’m in agreement @Teaforparrots - I wore a CSGM on a dog walk this week for the first time ever! There may be some irreplaceables that stay too precious for that but it’s a game changer mindset
Fabulous grails @Redbirdhermes
TY for the warm wishes @Karenska That pin is beautiful and wow what a lovely assortment of new additions! You are pushing me ever so close to bandanas
@Cookiefiend these are all gorgeous but as always your moussies are stunners
Twinning on Cosmografia @bunnycat and the triplet CS are amazing! Surely they can be wound together…
TY for the warm wishes @Nomad and I too refuse to look at the final tally (says she who just ordered a Costume de fete)! Your purples are Wowzers but those changeants - I die
Beautiful scarf @Iflola and what a wonderful experience!
As always @Living.la.vida.fifi the breadth of your collex and beautiful knots has me swooning. That CdL knit shows off the two sides so perfectly
Wow @LKBNOLA fantastic cashmeres! I definitely have more than I need but less than I want
TY @Katharina Luise and those cashmeres are making me wish I lived further north!
Delighted to twin with you @Pirula on Lanternes and all I see are rational additions! Your menfolk did well on the GK - the green pop on the navy background
@Sammy Royal you do soft and bold equally well!
@Cookiefiend these are all just lovely!
Beautiful CS collex @Redbirdhermes
@Living.la.vida.fifi i am bereft of SD and absolutely must correct that in 2023
More SD gorgeousness @Coco2606 - I couldn’t bee any more enamored
TY for the 2023 preview @bunnycat and love how you’ve knotted LL! The GT is stunning - I love bold colors and swirls
Such lovely additions @hotgalaxy
Gorgeous pairings @LKBNOLA !
@AnnaE this riot of colors is breathtaking!

So in keeping with everyone’s oopsies. “I did a thing” as well lol. I bought three scarves in 10 min in bidding in December. I got all caught up!! One was circus that I showed earlier in my purples. And one was this double face astronomie astrologie. You know how it is with bidding, sometimes you haven’t even been looking for a scarf but you see low bidding and voila you are right in there bidding away haha.
I really wasn’t sure at all about this when I bought it, but I am very pleased with this gorgeous shiny ballet pink and the red is fine on me too.
I’m playing with it in my house clothes so not “an outfit“ by any means. I think small and tight ties work best w such a busy scarf w swirls and dots, but we shall see as I wear it.
