If you say so, I believe it, my dear!Wow! That is an amazing color… it glows with your yellow sweater!
Oh my - each one is stellar and you look so wonderful in them all!
What a fantastic look with the necklace and FT! That’s fabulous!
Your Pavement though is just lovely, what a find!
zomg… I die.
(have to admit to some giggling about the magnets… they really are helpful, but as @Redbirdhermes says - watch out for other metal objects - I once got stuck on a bar stool legs in the kitchen when vacuuming…
Darling earrings and lovely CSPM!
And welcome!
So so pretty in pink!
Thank you sweethear!
wait… Unfortunately?? That’s beautiful Croisette, you are so lucky to have that!
Thank you so much!
Well now I can't edit my post as it's been too long. But I think the pics of the piece are in the Marble Scarf thread, maybe. I forgot which one I originally saw it in!
In 2023 Oldies but Goodies Category, my nominee would be Le Paradis du Roy CSGM by Annie Faivre:
I am very happy to have found it, it is preloved obviously, and had 1 flaw, but my goodness, the quality of the fabric is amazing. It is definitely a winter shawl for me, because it is very warm, much much warmer than the blue and turquoise shawl I alreeady had - so as I intend this CW to be worn mostly in FW, it turned out exactly what I was hoping for.

Thank you orchard!Stunning additions to your collection
Thank you so much redheaddem!
I love the little CSPM wonders! Legend Kuna is a fab scarf to have on your side.
Welcome and we hope to see you here on SOTD often!Beautiful FoxyT! you rock these pretty pastels.
Like many of us, I love the vintage scarves. Some are incredibly and finely detailed, they are a marvel to see. They’re sometimes so soft, you know they’ve been loved. Sometimes they’re a little wabi-sabi, and you find you can live with a few flaws … sorta like the ones we love.
And - speaking of my vintage age - we can forgive ourselves for a few flaws.
Last year I found two vintage beauties.
The Oscarf for best jacquard of the year:
La Voliere des Dames - from 1958 (older than I am!), and in the lovely scalloped jacquard. I looked for this for a long time, almost had one in 2022 but the seller cancelled the sale, so I was thrilled to find another!

The Ocarf for the mostest birds on wires:
Les Oiseaux des Champs et des Bois- from 1954 or 2004 - I’m not sure. It only has one of the very old small care tags … so it might be older than I am?
You all know how much I like birds, so this scarf made me very happy to finally find. It’s today’s scarf!

That scallop jacquard is swoon worthy!
Gorgeous Croisette!

Thank you so kindly Cookie! Now if I could just make a choice on Cocoricooooo! I would be all set for 2024....
It's back to work for me now. I am still working on bead requests from December....
The colors are absolutely magnificent on this Marta_K!
I love both on you, but my fav is the turquoise, which you modeled recently, Marta!
Snausages, you look amazing in your new Chevaux de la Collection
Living.la.vida.fifi , Mythiques Phoenix in this CW is on of the most striking yet elegant scarves ever, I always enjoy your modshot in it so much
HermesEchidnaGood morning!!!
I have some more nominees for my personal Oscarfs, and here are the statues for the Good , the bad and the really ugly scarves of 2023.
As you know, I like vintage scarfs - both for their looks, the possibilities of doing a bargain and for the thrill of the chase.
I also love how they sometime really reflect their age in design and colors.
In 2023 two scarves came to me, which I would not say are particular beautiful, but certainly have their charm.
My Bad scarf Award goes to very Brown Skyros, and the ugly scarf Awards goes to Alfabeth. The ‘ugly’ label has been put on by DD, whom, as I Think I have mentioned before, declared this scarf to be the ugliest she had ever seen

Then let us turn to the more bright side of life - the Good Scarf!
This year I got my hand on one of the most beautiful cw of scarves I know - the black/green/fuchsia/pink Coeur de la Vie. I have not worn it yet, just tried it on and admired it.

Second statue of the Day is for Best Scarf Swap.
The story goes: I was offered to purchase a brand new in box with reciept marine Super silk quest. Someone had bought it as a gift, but plans had changed, and they could not get a refund and just wanted some kind of cash in hand for it.
Having just acquired the green SSQ I politely declined, but after a month they offered it to me for half the prize. My inner scarf goblin awoke, I bought it and the next Day I went Into the H shop and swapped it without any questions for this wonderful Parade et Fanfare - which I adore, and have both sisters and twins in here who feel the same I am sure.
Oscarf for Best Scarf Swap (and bargain) goes to :

Wish you a Day full of both Parades and Fanfares!!!
Special congrats on both Parade en Fanfare and your nerve
Thank you very much, @Croisette7. I had no CSGM with dark navy and wanted one from the good old times, and this ticked all boxes. However, the turquoise one remains my number one favourite for summer
Jereni, all grails which make you glow, congrats! I especially like you in Animapolis
Giving thumbs up to you in ALL of them, BunnycatWell...in order to even think of participating this week, I had to "consult" my scarf spreadsheet as I couldn't actually remember what I acquired this past year. Now that either means 1- I have too many scarves (and that is true)
Brightest scarf of the year in no doubt goes to the exceptional Marble cashmere losange decorated with Kyoto Marble flowers, and trimmed in Jungle Love Rainbow. This is also my SOTD today because it is cold, and wet, and breezy which makes it all seep in...

Favorite Men's Scarf 2023 is the cheeky Surfing Fan cotton/silk (archive pic)

Longest Sought Grail (of this year) goes to Casques et Plumets moussie, which took 7 years to find:

And that narrowly beat out Soies Volants pareo so I'll post the "runner up" for searches too.
So we'll give Soies Volants a Best Pareo find thumbs up.

Well, I tallied my 2023 purchases yesterday, and will confess that it was a wallet slimming year 
Following @Nomad’s fine example, I will say that I didn’t buy as many as last year, but it was still a lot. After an exuberant January I took an extended visit to ban island for half the year, which makes my final total even more embarrassing. I’m not comfortable sharing my number publicly, but I am holding myself accountable by keeping a clear list of purchases; not just for H scarves (there were too many), but scarves from other designers (a few), bags, accessories etc.
To offset my frippery: a good number of these purchases were added to the scarf gift vault, which complicates my Oscarf counts a little. For the purpose of accountability: if I bought it this year, it counts as a purchase for the annual shame total, but for awards purposes, only scarves I have actually received will be eligible for nomination or awards.
So, without further ado:
The Oscarfs for Most coveted by MrBelle, (and I do let him wear it) and for Most likely to put a smile on my face go to:
Grrrrr / Yellowstone Forever men’s 100 silk.
I just adore this one for so many reasons. I missed the original issue, and was delighted to find this wonderful reissue for the Yellowstone Foundation on H.com earlier this year. Also, BEARS! Special nomination for Scarfie assist from @LKBNOLA, who was kind enough to provide an appropriately sized orange ’den’ for it 🙏
The Oscarf for Designer of the year goes to:
Alice Shirley. A few Shirley’s entered my collection this year (overdue, I know!). A couple are represented here, and there is at least one more in the vault, purchased in 2023. Best supporting nominations to Daiske Nomura and Jan Bajtlik for much loved designers that were represented my collection again in 2023. No Ugo Gattoni additions, which was a surprise given how much I love his designs and how much I loved Rendezvous Gallant. I SO wanted that design in regular twill, not vintage silk! (the creasing drives me crazy).
The Oscarfs for Best small format as well as First in format go to:
Chorus Stellarum Bandana.
I loved this design, but the CWs for the 70’s didn’t work so well on me, plus the creasing issue for the ‘vintage silk’ referenced above made me reluctantly pass. I was SO excited to see this in regular twill, plus a fabulous CW in the inky black with white design and matt gold overlay. I was delighted to acquire this as my first bandana. Soon followed by a second, in All Aboard. It’s an easy and fun size. CS also gets a special mention because it was purchased when MrBelle lost a bet (and therefore also makes me smile when I wear it)!.
Oscarf for Best supporting small format goes to En Liberte twilly. I loved this design, but the scale and CW didn’t work for me in the 90, or the CSGM. Fortunately the twillies were just right (and I succumbed to a few!)
The Oscarf for Cheeky elegance/Insouciance goes to:
Lazy Leopardesses.
I was a little late to the party with this one, but ended up with three colourways, plus a duplicate. Wow. I just love the leopard with its tongue poking out, and the almost metallic CW and rich depictions of fur give this design such depth and drama. This should probably also get a nomination for most multiples of the same design purchased this year.
The Oscarf for Best Reissue of a much loved design goes to:
Jungle Love love. A perfect valentines gift from MrBelle and one of the sweetest, most tender moments in a silk design. Honourable mention to Jungle Love forever, which might have taken a shared spot, except it’s in the vault awaiting a special occasion
The Oscarf for Most obsessive scarf hunt goes to:
La Vallee du Cristal. I stalked this one from the moment I saw it. I knew I had to have it. The purple was calling my name, but I was lucky enough to be blessed with a green beauty too, thanks to the insistence of MrBelle. Hence the first of my ‘special’ Oscarfs, below.
Special Oscarf for enablement, support and enduring patience goes to MrBelle. He has not complained once at my scarf exuberance (and he knows my scarf number for the year!) and has encouraged many of my acquisitions this year, as well as giving valuable input to choices. He’s a champ, and deserving of recognition. Extending this thanks to all our dear ones who listen, encourage and support us in our obsession
Special Oscarf for innovation goes to @bunnycat, inventor of the ‘Scarf Gift Vault’ and enabler of opportunity and impulse purchases through the magic of “it’s not another scarf purchase, it’s for the gift vault…”.
Ahem. Thank you, I think? 
The Oscarfs for Grailiest Grail, and Oscarf of the year, go to:
Into the Canadian Wild, Canada 150 Anniversary SE.
I could write an essay about how much I love this one, or what it means to me, but instead I will just post a picture of its fabulousness
A final Special Oscarf of awesomeness to all the residents of Scarflandia, who collectively make this such a wonderful place to be. 2023 has been a year, and I haven’t been able to post, or share, as much as I would have liked. I‘m sure I haven’t even shared all my new-ins this year (!). It’s been a most wonderful refuge and place to escape, as well as a bastion of support and friendship.
Thank you all!
ETA: bless the ‘edit‘ function!

Oh how I loved your Oscarf 'ceremony'. I wonder what MrBelle would say in his acceptance speech?!Well, I tallied my 2023 purchases yesterday, and will confess that it was a wallet slimming year
