I think I just love anything Sweet Dreams.
But I do love that Ex Libris mosaique as well. It reminds me a little of the Filigraine scarf from a few years ago. So glad they found another way to include that idea in current scarves.
Thank you @HermesEchidna. It’s been a lucky year, scarf-wise, and a very lucky couple of decades with MrBelle!Beauties on parade! Congratulations to you for all these wonderful scarfs - they are a stunning catch - and it truly sounds like MrBelle is as well
I have been very much enjoying your posts, and your instagram advent calendar, too!
DO IT! You would rock this one, @bunnycat!You're welcome!DOn't worry- y'all will all see the SGV reference again next year.
All of your selections are STUPENDOUS! Really fantastic finds. The mod shot of the B/W CS bandana gives me an itchy trigger finger for sure....
Oh, this is so beautiful it tugs on my heart. I love these peaceful birds and your cw is magnifique.My last post of today (I should have really grouped them into one, so thank you for indulging me!). is another first. I think of @Redbirdhermes as the Queen of de Poret designs here as she has collected them so assiduously since I have been participating. I so admire her collection. His work is so very beautiful and tender and true that I am always compelled by the designs but they are generally out of reach in terms of availability and price. To date I had only the 70 reissue of Les Bassets, which is wonderful but I longed for some birds, or dogs or deer... le sigh. Well 2023 was the year I found my first (and probably only) Xavier de Poret, Les Tourterelles. Incidentally this scarf was listed by the reseller as "brown" and the photos did seem to support that... I asked for more and..voila!
My 2023 Oscarf for Best Artist goes Les Tourterelles

A tiny little Oscarf statuette also goes to me for the first time securing a scarf with magnets and causing no injury to myself, the mirror or any innocent bystanders during the process
You are so very welcome here in Scarflandia @piperdog, so happy to have you join the fun! You picked a lovely scarf and gorgeous earrings for your first pic.
Happy New Year to you. 
Good morning.
My last Oscarfs go to Outstanding Enablement - to Scarflandia for tipping me to purchase designs which I had my eye on, but was not certain about. The chance to see scarves worn and tied for real in here is truly so much better than webshop flats.
These are scarves which have been added to my collection due to you:
L’Intrus
Robe de Soir
Tous le Bateaux du monde
And today I am going back to the saltmines after two glorious lazy weeks of leisure. The struggle is real, but I am lifted up by last year’s final acquisition sotd Objects de Curiosite
Have a great Day!

Oh Marta these are exquisite. I have the plum one of this on my wishlist and in saved searches. I would also do your blues one. WOW!! Thanks for sharing and congrats on these . I see them every once in a while but never good enough condition for me to hit buy.
Winner winner for best Oscarf post. Loved all of this. Love getting a peak behind the curtain to your scarf worldWell, I tallied my 2023 purchases yesterday, and will confess that it was a wallet slimming yearFollowing @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!
Awe at son. This looks so fab on you. You are an enablement queen. The tide is pulling me and I must resist..must.
Awe loved this and agree fullyOh my goodness, what a lovely post, dear @LKBNOLA! You really are too kind!
You really deserve an Oscarf, or six, for your many services to Scarflandia: Most consistent enablement, Most perfectly selected knots, Best scarf pairings, Queen of the marinière, Warmest welcome to new scarfies and Kind and Generous Scarf-friend to many! Your contributions here really have been a highlight not just of 2023, but as long as you have been posting here.
@LKBNOLAOh all special pieces. Twins in news. And what colors on Balade. I am loving everyone’s ‘one that got away’ category
Stop the presses!! Did I know about your leonhardi and forget!!
. You must tell me where you found it. I plan to get every cw of this one. I felt so darn lucky to find a pink this year. And that sweat dreams cw is perfection on youAwe so true. How often to I come here to look at a scarfies pics of one I am looking to buy. And how many times to I leave this page to go look for a scarf online haha.
Wonderful finds!!
@Snausages so funny on modernisme pareo. Perfect timing and meant to be. I thought that bay one might be hidden enough I could wait a bit longer before hitting buy. There is always such a long list and they slide up and down the priority level daily based on availability and prices. I have def wrapped my head around my pareo goals now. I know what I need in one. As you know..so many mistakes made hahaha.
