Happy to see this new one modeled! It truly looks like mayhem ensued... Another I need to look at now. Sigh.Let's start our August themes with a twist on the inspiration and enablement factors. H scarves feature a plethora of cultural designs, but their designers are also greatly inspired by many trades and professions.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor
This week, find us an acrobat, a fisherman, a dancer or a swimmer! Or can you do like John Le Carre (such a suitable name for a H thread) and find a spy? Do some H forensics: if the tools of the trade are there, the tradesman can't be far away!

Hermes Story reminds me of that very modern occupation of the Blogger! The techno version of society mavens who used to dominate the leisure and gossip pages of print media, popular bloggers have an outsized influence on likes and dislikes, and are a sought-after commodity which companies leverage on to sway public opinion and boost sales.

Most drivers drive safely, but in Jan Bajtlik's Les As du Volant, Demolition Derby Drivers are going crazy on the racetrack. Spotting Kluska in this design is a challenge as chaos reigns supreme! Les As kept me warm on the plane as I flew back from Vietnam last night

Happy to inspire, dear friend! I love your cw. Here’s mine, which I love, too.What a fabulous introduction @xincinsin -- I am ready to go on a scavenger hunt through my scarf drawer after this! I am stillover the H Story lady pursuing her selfie for her blog post! In the meantime, I am absolutely tickled to have the perfect "cross-over" scarf this morning (hat tip @Redbirdhermes!).Zoe Pauwel's Premier Mains (2002) depicts drawings from the cave walls at Lascaux and thus celebrates the work of archeologists and anthropologists as well. The minute I saw it on my dear scarf friend @Karenska, I went on an obsessive hunt until I scored one of my own, so another I would not own but for TPF inspiration.

Many thanks to @bunnycat for hosting these past few weeks, and thank you to @xincinsin for the marvelous introduction to Professions week.
Ever since I began posting in the Scarf of the Day forum, I have been dazzled by the scarves and knots displayed by @Living.la.vida.fifi . She inspired, nay insisted, that someone with an interest in aviation needed this scarf. She then led me to adding it to my collection. Reves d'Espace celebrates the history of aviation and literally lists the names of prominent pilots and astronauts on the scarf. Thank you for all you do to inspire us, Fifi.

. Sure do have some cowboys doing their roundups in Les Mustangs ‘dana. New mini mors on top. Not SOTD but MSOTD (mod shot). Need to post these on the AW threads.
Beautiful, Barbette. And we are twins with PC and sisters with TRF.
When I think of your stunning scarf collection, RBH, the first scarf that I think of is Reves d’Espace because of your formidable training, knowledge, and ability to fly an aircraft.
This is a bright and pretty cw!
What a wonderful theme Xincinsin! You inspired me to search and find one of the most iconic of summer trades - an Ice Cream Vendor. What would summer be without these tradesmen at the ready with a giant king cone or an ice cream sandwich to perk you up after a day in the sun? 
Here is a vignette from On the Beach. Please excuse the absence of a mode shot with this one today.

Lovely! This design escaped me. Nothing that came in caught my eye or suited my colouring. And I really did want On The Beach.
Same problem for me - love it, but can't wear it.
regarding last weeks these of inspiration: You almost made me do something stupid and order this scarf because of the gorgeous pink contrast hem and the colors on the "back side". But not liking the other side much the price is too much.
So I went rummaging through my collection and look what I found:
Galaxy, Torana and Toucans:
For now, this itch is scratched. But if I ever see it at the store I will at least try it on and think about you doing so.
(Do I sound like a stalker when I admit to keeping your photos on my phone for proper reenactment?)
Well-- this is exactly what I am talking about @Karenska-- the inspirational mod shot! Love it always and still.
Ok @Redbirdhermes -- absolutely perfect and I think I need a cobalt blue top too-- what a fantastic pairing with the bright green scarf. I hope you have a shot of it flat? I would love to see it.
This design is genius in this format @Karenska! Congratulations. Just amazing on you.What a delightful intro, Xincinsin! This week TWILL be fun

Oh as I type this the ice cream truck is warbling down on the beach parking lot. I was given this scarf as a gift and I just love it. I think it is like Exposition Universelle, there is always a new surprise to unpack!
Oh my gosh! I inspired you to shop your closet, find perfect examples of bright pink hems AND save money! I am a bona fide Scarf Saint.
Sisters on two of the three-- your Torana is a beauty I do not have but I am looking at your little tag line and smiling --"just because it is beautiful..." You made my day @HoneyLocks! Stalk away, I know I do...
it is entirely possible that I got the Galaxy because of youWell-- this is exactly what I am talking about @Karenska-- the inspirational mod shot! Love it always and still.

The Torana was a very preloved bargain, I got all the stains out, repaired a pull, it is very soft. You may play with it if you ever come to my region, as you are my scarf saint.
Thank you, LKB. There is a flat shot, as well as a series of posts that I did in Dec. 2020 about elements in this special scarf. Note that the links do go to 4 different posts.
