I love this tie and this top with it
@Redbirdhermes and I am cracking up over the collage showing you've been "neutralizing" it all along! Sometimes neutrals are so understated we don't even realize we are wearing them!
I think it will look lovely on the bright purple
@xincinsin and grey too I think? Very imposing horns on those licornes!
This scarf design is so darn appealing but look how beautiful it looks as a plisse-- so watery and soft
@Karenska. Definitely a soft neutral "go with anything" vibe!
Oh, no! I am so glad that no one was hurt but definitely the kind of event that does not do anything for your day or mood
@EtsyBoss. Your shawl on the other hand is full of uplift and at least only your driving record and your vehicle are banged up it sounds like...An upsetting thing to be sure...
I thought it was Georg Jensen! My best friend from college days inherited her mother's collection and I have so enjoyed learning about the designers and features of brooches. How lovely to have these heirlooms and shared passions with your stylish grandmother
@HermesEchidna -- my Dallet love and my Tigre du Bengal came from a beloved aunt-by-marriage who was also very stylish. Nice connections! (and thank you for the compliment!)
I vote that we have a theme next year called Mixed Neutrals © Cookiefiend-- oh, wait! Isn't that what we *are* doing this week!

I have complimented these often-- the center of your yellow PeF is themost beautiful of all the cws IMHO, your Sintra is a wonder and your very unusual black-hemmed DlMauC is amazing. Now, what else was in there... Hmmmm (and thank you
@Cookiefiend-- scarfmail from friends is the best!)
I love everything about this lovely honey-colored ensemble
@Croisette7-- so warm and inviting...
Happy St Patrick's Day to you
@hotgalaxy! Of course in New Orleans, there is a parade and because we throw things during parades, cabbages were often thrown from the floats and it was a fine thing to catch one for your dinner. But too many people got bonked on the head so now they just hand them out carefully...
The blue green cw of Cosmographia is a real beauty and perfect for the day...
