Gavs are indeed a consolation! And that sweet little something that satisfies, like a Godiva chocolate. I love my gavs and wear them alot. When I was in LHR in 2019 with little time to spare, I almost bought this gav because there was no real time to shop for a 90. But I was indecisive and waffled, even though it was the perfect lil souvenir. My regret was instantaneous, as I kicked myself down the aisle to my seat :bagslap:.
A few months later I bought it at Madison Ave by mail, and now it is indeed my sweet souvenir from my wonderful trip to England Autumn 2019 regardless that I bought it in my own home state. Archive shot with lovely glass scarf ring by desr @bunnycat.

I adore this gav on you and @Cookiefiend! If I ever see it on a resell site it will be mine! I did own this same colorway in the 90 format but it was just too much white for me but the 45 size is perfection!

I don't have a big collection of scarves but I'd love to put most of them on rotation this year and learn more knots!

Wearing my new to me L'art du Temari.

Adorable!!
 
Sneaking in with a final resolution to continue to experiment with colors in the New Year. Green is my hardest color to get right. I err on the side of teal, for the most part (or the vert noir color of Lazy Leopardesses and yesterday's Laboratoire) but last season I bought a shawl with a green hem and Chorus Stellarum with its pops of lime and then I took a big plunge into the color by acquiring this undeniably bright green Marwari shawl. I was nervous about the citron colored tear drops in the design but I actually am enjoying my experiment quite a bit!

I think these are all wonderful on you, Lkb. Cheval Marwari is a beautiful strong green but doesn’t overpower. The citron gives it point. A beautiful cw and lovely on you. I love green and definitely embrace it.
Speaking of hems, here is my beloved Acte III with lots of bright greens and a very yellow hem.

This kind of green is a fantastic color for you dear LKBNOLA! I am also trying to find out which green is a good one for me. I really liked more olive green tones in former years but now with my grey hair I don't find it so flattering any more. I think your bright green might be the solution. :smile: This Marwari is gorgeous! :love:
You know, I used to love olive. I’d pair it with pink, red or coral. I don’t gravitate to it so much, though. Hmmm.
 
Thank you for the marvelous introduction to Hems and Borders Week, dear @Karenska . I'm glad that you are healing up and able to join the forum more than at first.

A number of months ago I finally found my first Sieste au Paradis, here in the 140 silk format. This scarf is all about the borders, and, as many of you have shown, ties and drapes beautifully. My scarf says it is gray and bright yellow, but I detect a lot of blue along with an orange hem, colors that I associate with Blippi. He makes videos for children on YouTube, and I can verify that the kiddos love him.

Introducing my Sieste au Paradis 140 silk as my scarf of the day to start the week. Glad I finally found one of these grails for myself.

Just beautiful @Awillow. Still would like to add this design to my collex so it is great to see the different cws...

Fabulous hem and a great design @mktlim.

I love this! I am waiting for my sister scarf to yours-- doubly special as the design was first issued in 1953 so counts as part of my birth year collection! The 70 is very nice on you in this cw with the wonderful border and neutral hem @ivy1026.

As @Redbirdhermes said, this is such a great little scarf and I too love its "origin story" @Karenska!

Thank you so much, @Maedi!

I fell in love with the design first because of @laurenad's mod shot some time ago and then as I began to look I saw so many vibrant cws. This was another design I collected first in a gavroche, @Karenska only to realize I really wanted the 90!

You look beautiful in this @cali_to_ny -- a fun and happy shawl indeed! I am past the stage of life you (and @Nomad and @EtsyBoss) are sandwiched in right now but I remember those days in my own life and the only way to get through is to claw some time and fun for yourself amid the people-making (teenagers!) and caretaking (elders) plus work and life responsibilities. Sending hugs and humor and compassion-- and of course some silky beauty helps too!

Gorgeous! However do you choose from among your moussie delights @Awillow?

Simply spectacular-- a work of art and a vision of gorgeous stylins @Sammy Royal-- thank you so much for delighting us with your beautiful mod shot of this amazing exceptional... :loveeyes:

It is officially a very delicious color @Snausages! :ty:

Truly interesting and fabulous analysis @Nomad. I agree with all but add my voice to the chorus loudly insisting that Promenades in the adorable aqua pink must stay to perk up your athleisure wardrobe and also anything else! It is great on you. Don't rehome it!

Oh, wow! That is a beautiful Sichuan (and smile!) but the colors on that PF are fabulous and perfect on you @Maedi... :girlsigh:

Congratulations @Katharina Luise -- no better feeling! You look amazing in each and every one-- that losange is so eyecatching! All are lovely and you look radiant as ever!
Oh, glad you enjoyed it, Lkb!
 
Wow this thread really moves in high speed! :lol: So please excuse me for not commenting back on all the nice comments to my last photos. You made me very happy :smile: And sorry for only being able to like and love all your gorgeous photos. So much to admire, learn and think about. A big thanks to you @bunnycat for guiding us through this very interesting week with this perfect theme for starting the new year! :hugs:
My last contributions are the scarves I wore at the end of the week to reach my goal of wearing more scarves ;)
My cashmere losange without a name and my beloved MeM. I decided to wear it more often and not only admire it! ;)
And Friday I wore my ntm grail for which I was looking the whole last year! Zebra Pegasus CSGM in the exact colors I wanted! It arrived last week, so perfect start of my scarf-year :happydance: Excuse the hair, it was quite windy. View attachment 5686125View attachment 5686126View attachment 5686128
Love everything, Katharina Luisa. That’s my fav cw of MeM and now I’m thinking hmmmm….. your ZP 140 is spectacular! Congratulations. You look so warm and chic.
 
Resolution number 7: Maximum gratitude
I would like to express my gratitude more spontaneously and more often this year.
I am very lucky to have such beautiful scarves, to be able to benefit from the forum and from your wise advice.
Happy New Year to all of you!
SOTD, The spirit of the forest. I have been resisting buying it in other colours but it's difficult because I love this pattern. This one really goes with everything, even this yellow jumper. The scarf stays, the jumper not so sure (but that's another story!)
Anyway, thank you, thank you!

Bonus: the "beans" /"fèves " for the "galettes des rois" that I will prepare for the family meal. Who will be the king and queen of the day? (In France, we celebrate the Epiphany by sharing a pastry cake filled with almond cream. A "fève" is hidden inside the cake and the one who finds it is king)

View attachment 5685651
How very interesting, Coco! Those little porcelains are placed on top of the cake? And a bean/feve is baked inside? I want to make this!
Love how your Maitre de la Foret ties. Oh my! It’s perfect with the jumper. Wow!

Good day, dear Scarifies, and welcome to the second Sunday of the New Year and a new theme. Thank you to dear @bunnycat for starting off the new year with our scarf resolutions. You have all made many thoughtful and thought-provoking insights into how to better enjoy, manage, cull, and enhance our treasured collections! I use the word treasured a lot when I talk about our silks and cashmeres, because they really are. My first luxury scarf, a Salvatore Ferragamo with his signature cheetahs and flowers, made me realize very quickly the difference between his Italian-made beauty and my much less expensive mass-produced, though may I say, still lovely silk scarves. And the hem on my Ferragamo was one of the things I noticed first. It was hand-rolled front to back, plump and hand-sewn with tiny, perfectly-spaced stitches.

That description would apply perfectly to the gorgeous hems that characterize our beautiful French-made scarves. Except Hermès rolls and sews front to back and takes it all a few steps further, with its gorgeous contrast-colored hems, striped hems, and now, even Kyoto-marbling hems. I am by no means providing an exhaustive treatise on Hermès' inventive and brilliant ability to create and adapt, so we Scarifies welcome any information this week on its processes. But let's just say, sometimes the hems just make the scarf. How many times has someone exclaimed: "That hem!".

Borders on Hermès' scarves are also vital to the main theme. Sometimes a border will only simply frame the design, allowing it's main images to be spotlighted, and other borders accent the main theme. Other times, a border, especially a graphic one, will provide jarring notes that make it truly spiky and sophisticated. Some borders are embroidered giving even more textural variety. Borders and hems give visual interest to our silks, furthering our style and tying options that showcase Hermès' wonderful designs, as well as our own sense of fun and chic! Let's see some happy hems and bodacious borders this week, ok?

The borders on Le Voyage de Pytheas, with contrasting hem, too. The borders on this iconic design absolutely tie in with what’s going on in the theme. A sea voyage, the border shows lots of nautical images, fish, fishtails as well as Greek themes, for Pytheas sailed North from his lovely isle.

Beautiful yellow contrast hem.
Thank you for a very exciting new theme @Karenska! Nice to read you after your misadventures last week. I hope all is well. The photos you shared announce a fantastic week (I hope that Sieste au Paradis, Tous les bateaux and other grails will be out for the eyes to enjoy!). Contrasting edges are often a detail that makes me drool, especially in the "berlingot" version like your latest example of the bassets.
I chose "Washington carriage patchwork" as my SOTD because it combines both: contrasting roll and explosive edge!

What a vibrant colorway!
 
SOTD: sunny Splash Park CSGM, representing my resolution to have more FUN this year! Between teenagers and elderly parents, 2022 was more stressful than fun (with no vacations), but in 2023+ I’m aiming to create my own fun whenever I can!

View attachment 5685829
A worthy goal, cali-to-ny, and the perfect scarf to represent your resolution. This scarf reminds me of the sixties pop song “Palisades Park” :lol:. Your cw is really pretty and looks great on you.

2022 was a difficult year for many of us, and I echo your sentiments. One of my resolutions, besides to wear my scarves more, is to try and just destress! Not react to things so hard. And have more fun. :tup:
