Dear all
Now I am back from National Pajama Day, I have carried the tree down and out, restocked the fridge, been taught by my daughter how to knit and not least - played with my scarves, to select nominees.
How many scarves that had been added to my collection last year is a number that is only whispered in small padded rooms, placed in Dark underground caves in conspiratorial conversations between me, my conscience and perhaps my bank. A number no man, child or rational Human being will ever know.
In short - the best collecting year ever!
Wonder if it has something to do with the tender enablement, support and inspiration from all of you?!
My two categories for today are an age and a grail category.
I was happy to add two very wearable designs which are both from the early/middle 1960s and thus older than myself. So my Oldie and Goldie Oscarf goes to Gastronomie and Les Coqs.

2023 was also the year when a few long-seached-for personal grails found their way to my mail box - la Femme aux Semelle de vent and Into the Canadian Wild being two of Them.

A third grail gets the prize for Most Well Travelled Turkey. This - my first and currently only - Kermit Oliver was sent from UK and arrived here in Scandinavia 8 weeks later having been in both Mumbai, Italy and the Netherlands. (The Sound of my sigh of relief upon arrival could deserve its own special Sound effects Oscar…)

Will be back tomorrow with nominees for the Good, the bad and the really ugly + Best Scarf Swap.
Wish you all a lovely Day!
