How fun! I am twins with you on Duo and sisters on the Beach and will have to in search of bunnies @Coco2606.This one seems very appropriate for today (Duo cosmique). Happy New Year!View attachment 5698031
I finally found one bunny "on the beach"

Oh, so happy to enable/inspire! I think the blues are spectacular on this and I find double sided scarves to be very "throw-and-go" (no wrong side to worry about tying!)-- especially this one @Lellabelle!I can’t wait! It’s different to anything I have.
Knowing the sleuthing capability of some of our scarfies, I'm sure it’s not too hard to figure out what’s inside.
A side-note for @bunnycat, originator of the gift vault… the waiting is SO much harder when the gift date is near!!
I realized when I posted these, coincidentally both on the same sweater, how similar they can look tied. An unintentional duplication almost, due to the overlapping colour palettes. That’s the downside of the colour family approach, as they fill a similar niche. On the up side, if one scarf in the colour family works, you can be fairly confident the others will too.
What did surprise me is how much of a workhorse each is turning out to be. I thought they’d lean more formal with the cool dark palettes, but I’ve been reaching for them both regularly in January as they’re so versatile. My pics are not the best; casual styling and no planning, so probably not showing to their best advantage, but the ease with which you can “throw and go” is what makes them so versatile. They are equally great with jeans as with more formal attire. I suspect that your Brides Destin will be similar.
100% agree on the link with Perspectives. Another link to a previous design for the theme. And I love my Space Derbys so much, I knew I wanted an M2. I tried the pretty pink and blue that RBH has, but the blue did not play well on me. When you posted your colourway, I knew it was one that could work for me, so thank you for the inspiration!
I just love the vignettes on this Quatre Saisons @Croisette7... Perfect!
What a delightful introduction, Snausages! And many thanks to @xincinsin for her wonderful hosting last week.Happy Sunday, Scarflandia, and welcome to a new theme week for SOTD. Not only is today the beginning of a new theme week, it’s the beginning of the Lunar New Year!
According to Chinese astrology, today marks the beginning of a Year of the Rabbit. So inspired, this week’s theme is Paws for Thought: Bunnies, kitties, dogs and other furbabies (or featherbabies, or scalebabies – go on and stretch that theme!).
To start the week (and the year) I’m focusing today on the Rabbit. The bunny. The hare. The lagomorph. There are more than 60 bunny breeds, including several lops (dangly ears), those identified by countries of origin (American rabbit, Netherland dwarf rabbit, Polish rabbit - to name a few), and different variations of cottontail (Eastern cottontail, New England cottontail, Desert cottontail…). The Flemish giant rabbit weighs on average 15 pounds, while the Pygmy rabbit weights less than a pound.
There are many famous rabbits: the Easter Bunny, Bugs Bunny, the Energizer Bunny, the Cadbury Bunny, Peter Cottontail (aka Peter Rabbit), Jessica Rabbit (she’s not bad – she’s just drawn that way!), and Bambi’s friend Thumper.
Bunnies are featured prominently in Hugo Grykgar’s 1950s classic Le Bles (which actually celebrates the wheatfield), Claudia Stuhlhofer-Mayer’s La Magie (watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!), and the rabbit/duck illusion gav. And yes there was a Year of the Rabbit gav!

I went searching my scarf drawer for rabbits, and found them in Texas Wildlife, Premier Chants, and DUJA.

And so, my Silken Sisters and Brothers, I ask you to show me your bunnies!
(No time for rabbit hunting? That’s ok – any SOTD is on-theme!)
I LOVE the Dark Pink Pierres et Cristaux! I originally purchased the light pink colorway - (yet they called it blanc!!) - but later rehomed in hopes of locating either this dark pink or the green/noir colorway. No luck yet but it will happen.Apologies for my absentee hosting this week. After getting through the pandemic in relatively good health, I caught the flu bug this week
Scarfies who have been on SOTD for a while will notice that I have an obsession with rocks and gems. So it was only natural that I would find that vintage design Mineraux.
View attachment 5696037
It was therefore a foregone conclusion that when H released a design on the same theme, I would jump on it. My three cws of Mineraux are quite naturalistic, so my SA was surprised when I chose the dark pink cw for Pierres et Cristaux. It reminded me of rock slabs which gemologists put under tests to check if they are natural, enhanced or synthetic.

Several scarfies have shown the multiple iterations of BdG old and new. I like H's remakes of Ex Libris, some of which are so different that they look nothing like the original. A few are on my wishlist.
An Ex Libris with grail status is EL en Kimonos.
View attachment 5696034
I have two.
View attachment 5696031
And inspired by @Julide's full array of this design, I recently acquired a third which is still in the mail.
Gattoni created a cute version EL Atlantis with the groom at the bottom of the ocean.
View attachment 5696039
When I travel, I sometimes bring along EL Globetrotter which is in lightweight silk, a nifty smaller size and and shows the 4 points of the compass.
View attachment 5696041
And one of my fave EL-based designs is Glitch. It depicts EL on a very staticky old TV screen. If you do not take a closer look, you would miss the pattern altogether. A techno interpretation of a very traditional design!

Thank you so much and I completely agree on the inside of the yellow Fête en Plumes. It almost puts me in a trance.I love all of these @lanit-- and must try that very cool bandolier tie!
Thank you @EtsyBoss! I love your Brides et Destin cw-- strong contender for me until I had to come to terms with the fact that it had too similar a vibe to Brides Rebelles (twin with @lanit above) when tied... But it looks wonderful on you. Beautiful center colors![]()
Magpie here, too @xincinsin -- in the club from an early age. Started with shells and sea glass...
Oh my gosh, congratulations @Redbirdhermes! What a beautiful find and how gorgeous on you! Brilliant to pick out the purple stems in your sweater-- it lets the red bloom and the blue hem really shine...
OK! Thanks for the tease @Lellabelle and I know I am not alone in wanting to see this out of the box and around your neck!
I thought the same @EtsyBoss-- they do this so beautifully, this pair of artists: florals plus architectural scene=dreamscape. Retour is kind of like a CSGM version of A l'Ombre de Pivoines, which I believe was only ever a 90 and only 6 or so cws... And it is Los Angeles, in the distance on Retour apparently, according to Marsal!
I did! It was on my list from the get-go, as I have a weakness for mythological themes and Nomura's work! Thank you @Lellabelle-- that Petite Bib tie is very useful that way!
Ok, so you have officially moved beyond "correction" to Scarf Rehabilitation @Teaforparrots! Beautiful color on you-- not everyone can wear yellow so well!
Thank you @Croisette7! Wish list expansion is always a danger here (especially from your examples) and my little dog is very sweet!
The center of the yellow cw of Plumes en Fete has to be the most beautiful coloration! And the CSGMs are TDF @Croisette7. Beautiful match with your bangle...
This is perfection @Nomad-- the colors of the scarf, the sweaters, the tie-- gorgeous on you. And I chuckled over your concept of the "Practice CSGM" -- which is such a smart thing to do before investing in anything, really.
I am so jealous you have that gorgeous cw of Springs Springs @Lellabelle! Such beautiful colors and such an interesting design re-do. It also reminds me a bit of Perspective in the 3-D effect. I am happy to be twins on Les Mustangs -- I love it. A great homage done with humor, respect and whimsey. The pops of pink on the blue side are *chef's kiss* and the collar effect with that tie is wonderful.
These are beautiful @essiedub! Like @Maedi I tried a t-shirt (jersey fluide?) and returned it because it was a rectangle! Just ever so slightly but it did throw things off... I love your mousseline...
Thank you @Maedi-- and this Aloha DD is amazing on you. It just lights you up!
Congratulations on this beauty @leechiyong!
Thank you @Nomad-- just had to find a way to show more of the center!
Just wonderful decorations and your gav is absolutely adorable @xincinsin! Happy Year of the Rabbit!
The wheat field background on this is so beautiful and those bunnies! Lovely @Croisette7...
Love the playful bunny on that wonderful Juane colorway.
Awwww. You had little grand bunnies! I remember long ago a friend of mine had an indoor bunny….a rather large overweight indoor bunny …..that would follow you around and beg for M&Ns.Happy Lunar New Year! Thank you @Snausages for a terrific and informative intro (lagomorph!?) with beautiful silks to make the point. I know I will be happy to note all the bunnies on the silks I have and the silks I don't. I feel some attachment to rabbits as pets because my daughter acquired two in college and guess who got to bunnysit? Right you are! I was less than charmed by the whole experience since we also had two dogs but the rabbits did make me smile with their antics. Especially the adorable thing they do called "binking" -- literally a 360 degree turn in the air as they jump. Here's a rabbit (more likely a hare) on my SOTD: Sous le Charme d'Orphee. (I see a resemblance between the cute Alice Shirley DuJA bunnies and this one!)

Beautiful scarf and the rare, elusive Jackalope. The Bavarian equivalent is a Wolpertinger which can also have wings. Oh, and the color of your shirt is very flattering and a perfect backdrop to your Nouages.Welcome, @Snausages, and looking forward to Bunnies and Paws week. I didn't realize there were so many bunny breeds. I'd like to add one to the list, the Jackalope, which is part jack rabbit and part antelope, and is found in the High Plains region of the Western United States.

Some of the clouds of Sur Mon Nuage sure look like rabbits. Here they are staring at their favorite treat of carrots.
View attachment 5698232
There are a couple of pawed dogs on the scarf as well.

My scarf of the day is Sur Mon Nuage tied to show the rabbits. I didn't notice that adorable pink heart cloud between them until I had the scarf tied.

Happy Chinese New Year and may the Year of the Rabbit bring peace, patience and great luck to all.
H is the only place I can get a yellow that works for me - this is literally the only yellow item I own! Hence my desire to own a backup. I don't know why it's so hard to find this shade but I keep a sharp eye on H yellows!Ok, so you have officially moved beyond "correction" to Scarf Rehabilitation @Teaforparrots! Beautiful color on you-- not everyone can wear yellow so well!
And I love it so on you, @Pirula !! It is incredible on the blueWhat a fabulous intro dear @Snausages !
Here’s my DuJA, I love it sooooo….

Alice Shirley makes such happy bunnies! I loved when my kindergarten teacher would bring her white rabbit Snowflake to school (until someone painted him green)Happy Lunar New Year!
