Thank you to everyone for the likes and loves and comments-- I have loved all your photos and am commenting mostly on those that feature your critters as well as your lovely silks!
Yes
@Coco2606 -- I believe it was AW2021.
Twins on the CdC ... your doggies were so nicely dressed up!
I love/hate that we have similar tastes in scarves because your mod shots are quite the enablement
@LKBNOLA
Thank you both
@Croisette7 and
@Snausages!
A day late with the dog theme but wanted to share some of the dogs I have.
Les Bassets. This one was notorously difficult to get a hold off where I live. Probably would have bought more cws if I had found them. I hope they reissue "Monarch" and/or I find one in the pre-loved market. That one is a holy grail I'm still hunting for!

Today - January 25 - Scotland celebrates Burns Day in honor of Scotland's beloved national poet, Robert Burns, author of Auld Lang Syne and ... a few fairly ribald poems (Nine Inch Please a Lady comes to mind). Burns Day culminates in the Burns Supper in which a haggis is brought in on a platter to the sounds of bagpipes then ceremonially sliced open. There's a special tune just for the event. Neeps and tatties on deck, lots of Scotch, and then recitations of Burns' poems to the wee hours. We're hosting one of these Burns Suppers tonight. My SOTD is new to me Fleurs D'Ecosse (found in great condition and for a steal!) in glorious, happy colors. It has 2 furry friends in the form of unicorns - the official national animal of Scotland.

This scarf is gorgeous and congratulations on finding such a beauty
@EtsyBoss. Now if only we could get an audio of your dinner party...
This past week's been crazy and I haven't had any time at all to look for bunnies...so kitties will have to do.
Many cute pictures with Pickles and Snickers from this past week that make them look like angels...but in reality Pickles pulled some yarn off one of my looms last night and chewed on it. Now he is under observation (again) for intestinal blockages. Meanwhile, Snickers made yet another backyard escape and probably spent a good 2 hours out there running wild in the back yard while I was working on beads and didn't know. Then when I caught her and put her in, she ran back out the back door whereupon I engaged in pursuit, jumped for her before she could get out the patio door again, tripped and fell through the door myself, injuring my shoulder, toe and hip. It sucks to be old....
So please keep this story in the back of your mind while you oooh- and -ahhh about them being little
Because today it was certainly more like kitties trying to
me

Hi Everyone , after a very relaxing break in Bali, I am trying to catch up!! Today in Australia we are celebrating Australia Day . I am happy to join many of you who have Sur Mon Nuage. I particularly like this scarf, (after trying to resist it for so long).
I was on a mini break with DH and visited the store and this c/w just clicked with me. This scarf resonates with me and I'm sure, many others, due to the beautiful illustrations.

Mum born in year of rabbit, neighbour was a cello teacher, had ballet lessons until age 18, still love playground swings and my angel doggies frolicking around.

@Stylehound-- your pooch is magnificently gorgeous with the most alert and beautiful eyes.
Bassets in these colors is a dream. I have the blue and ochre one. Safe travels.
Thank you
@Maedi! I am twins on that one too! The pink was an unexpected and irresistible find-- pure lagniappe.
Welcome to Day 5 of the
Paws for Thought theme week! Today we're focusing on hooves*! Hooves are kind of like paws, and horses are fur babies, yes?
Hermes began as a leather harness maker so horses are an integral part of the brand’s history. When a boutique opens, the first customer is always a horse.
My holiest of all holy grails is Accidents de l’Equitation but I’ve never seen one IRL or on the resale market. Should I find one, it would likely be the horsiest scarf in my collection because I just don’t gravitate to more classic designs.
View attachment 5701272
But even someone like me has plenty of horses/horse adjacency in the scarf drawer: Cheval a Caractere, Vif Argent, Ulysse En Attendant, Quatre Chevaux

View attachment 5701277View attachment 5701278View attachment 5701276View attachment 5701280
But if we want to stretch things, there are other Hooved furbabies beyond equines: pigs have been kept as pets (and are as smart as dogs!), Highland Cows are a bit big for pets but have adorable fur, and everyone knows llamas wear pajamas, right?
And so, my Silken Sisters and Brothers, I ask you to show me your hooved scarves! Bonus points for showing your real life animal friends!
(*Have no fear – any SOTD is on-theme!)
These are all fantastic but the Accident Scarf takes the cake
@Snausages-- just fabulous.
There is a Swinging Saint Germain in orange and white hidden from view, but more importantly, here is Charlie living his best horse life.

What a great photo
@Smae-ze -- Charlie is wonderful!
I am a little bit late to the party but first my thanks to
@Snausages for hosting this wonderful week of furry, feathery or other friends. We don’t discriminate in the pet category! I love to see all your beautiful cats, dogs, birds and horses
I have found out that as a cat lover I really need more scarfs with cats
I have to fill this void! Any excuses to buy more H are always welcome
Please excuse this massive post!
So my contributions are:
On Tournez Manège a regal looking cat as well as a party of horse, pig, sheep and goat (I think) galloping along together.
A cat, a really big dog and some horses on Early America.
Some goats - if I am not mistaken - on my Pavement.
And the beautiful big furry dog on La Vie du Grand Nord
The real deal: my Miss Marple, really fluffy because half Persian. Her favorite pastime is to take place in the middle of my cutting table on top of the fabric always when I try to cut out something for sewing… Or on top of my sewing machine.
In addition my godchild-dog, Heidi, my best and oldest friend‘s dachshund.

@Katharina Luise! (wonderful scarves and great vignettes for the theme too!)
Yay - hoof fur babies! Jumping by LeDoux seemed like the perfect one for this day. I believe my cws are from the 1971 (green) and a later reissue (blue, 80-90s?). Paired them with horse-themed scarf rings.

Got inspired by
@Smae-ze to share some photos of "my" cutie (he is not mine, but I ride him sometimes). The last photo is a photo (a screenshot from a video hence the quality) from when we were jumping last year. He thought the jump was much larger than it was!

@MAGJES-- we have the same doggie beds for our sweeties. You must miss that sweet Sophie every day.
yesterday was a two scarf “wearing” day AND a tote-bag-overflowing-with-scarves day, as I had the most fun meet up w a wonderful scarfie friend from here
. Show-and-tell luncheons should be a thing for all of us. But the best part of it all is when there are no more scarves to show each other, there are genuine friendship connections made through this forum and I am so thankful for it

Welcome to Day 6 of the
Paws for Thought theme week! Today we're focusing on these-shouldn’t-be- furbabies-because-they-are-wild-animals. Dallet is noted for his realistic drawings of wild cats, and Alice Shirley had a series of wild animals in the men’s section (bear, wolf, T. rex)
I. Love. Bears. In 2018 I took a bucket list trip to the shores of Hudson Bay to watch polar bears in the wild.
View attachment 5702055
My bucket list still includes a trip to Katmai to see the fat bears of Brooks Falls, Alaska. So of course I had to get Yellowstone Forever!
View attachment 5702053View attachment 5702047
And while bobcats aren’t really ‘big’ cats, they are bigger than most house cats and live in my neighborhood. I see them out and about and unbothered by people several times a year.

Bobs are in Kermit Oliver’s Vie au Sauvage.

We have coyotes and many many wild marine animals in our neck of the woods
@Snausages-- love your beautiful scarves and I do hope you achieve your fat bear bucket list item-- you will be well-scarved when you do!
Do elephants count? If they don’t, there’s also a dog. I don’t think anyone has shown Splendeurs des Maharajas, which I’m wearing today.
This is just fabulous in art and coloring

Mot my SOTD but on theme. New to me Kenya by Dallet with the leopard spots jacquard. I bought this to serve as a talisman hoping to see "cats" on a recent trip to Namibia. Wore it each night at dinner and the next day was successful spotting many cats (total 50+ [!!!] in 6 weeks).

How fantastic and I am so thrilled for you that you have such a beautiful talisman scarf to memorialize all your sightings
@shrpthorn!
Falling in love again with this beauty my DH gave me for Christmas one year, 12 Leopards. It's been almost a year since I've worn it. I love the kitties lounging amongst the books. My favorite little detail .. this time.. is the one who looks lost in a daydream, perhaps thinking of travels. I don't have a photo but I will always remember an exhilarating safari experience at night in a jeep with just a spot light, crashing through the bush hot on the trail of a leopard that had been spotted. We *did* see it and it was unforgettable. The only wild cat I saw before that was a bobcat on the side of the road in Montana. I wish I could see them more regularly like
@Snausages! Lions were my first love though. If I could be anywhere in the world right now, I'd be in South Africa on safari watching the lions sleep.

This was a birthday gift last year, and (shame) is just getting its first proper outing. I don’t know why I keep thinking I have nothing that goes with it. I have lots that goes with it in the grey and blue spectrum. It’s my yellow-hesitance, I think!
I love this on you but understand the hesitancy. I also own this colorway and I’ve yet to find the perfect outfit to make it shine. It really does look wonderful with grey especially the textured sweater.
It is beautiful on you
@Lellabelle and both y'all if you cannot figure it out, please send it on to meeeeee. I know exactly what I would do with this beauty--long been on my wish list...
Good morning, having difficulties to keep up with the speed of this thread! SOTD is Les Jardins d’Arménie. Many paws, though I could not find any rabbit. Earlier this week DUJA and Orphée.

@Agrume.
Hello, Scarfies! I am back in a limited way and will never be able to catch up, but I want to join in and so will start by following dear @Snausages’ journey as host, starting with Monday, as I already chimed in on bunnies.
These are wonderful examples of our feline-themed scarves, Snausages, and I love the cat information, being krazy for kitties. Le Chat is iconic. The reclining Sealpoint in the foreground reminds me of my beauty, Minette, a queen if ever there was one. You’ve seen this before but it’s worth showing again for this theme.

Colliers de Chiens, the second of two clinker scarves bought internationally not as described - too much trouble to return so I lobbied for discounts to marginal success (the other was Appaloosa des Steppes 90 in the raspberry/canard cw). This CdC one will never lose its perfume odor, I fear.

Wonderful all-- cats silks and comments
@Karenska. Glad you could pop back in!
Love this meta shot, LKB. I just imagine that you other hand is holding the tea, rather than the camera. Lovely scarf choices.
Hahaha
@Redbirdhermes-- that was the plan, actually but my photographer DH is unfortunately otherwhere at the moment so I had to improvise! Taking a selfie with a new silk scarf around your neck and a squirmy pup who is trying hard to get the small treat in your camera hand... well, I am amazed scarf, dog, phone all survived...
This is a wonderful post! It’s apparent you love all creatures great and small, dear Snausages, even squirmy snakes - more power to ya, my blood runs cold just like theirs when I even
think of them. I am both repelled and fascinated. I love their place in nature, just don’t bring one near me. But to prove I’m a live and let live kinda gal, I did wax poetical back on Jan 9, 2022 SOTD about a tiny fuscia pit viper I saw in the herpetarium at the National Zoo

. This beautiful thoroughbred at the stable where I used to ride was a very special friend (I never rode her). She seemed to like me. The horse in the background is sn Arabian. Much smaller than the Tbred. 
. My only bear sighting in Yellowstone was rather far away, but there are many attractions to the park and its an incredible visit. Churchill Manitoba and the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia are also on my bucket list.
