Lovely Pivoines! Flattering matching backgrounds!
Great comparison. The Plumes has such beautiful shades of green.
The H equestrian roots as well as the many inspirational treasures in the H museum collex mean that there is no end to the scarf designs featuring horses, carriages, bridles and saddles. My first BdG was a tiny doll version.
I used to grumble that there was little that I could do to wear the teeny 9-inch squares. Then H issued nano scarves and I felt better (H therapy...)
But back to horses. I think it's lovely how H designers play around with horses. Modern designs cast horses as superheroes! (Minuit au Faubourg, 2015)
A seemingly stylized horse head becomes blueprints for stables upon a closer look (Cheval de Courses, 2008).
In this vintage scarf La Poursuite 1959, the subject is the hunt - a relic of an older aristocratic society which many of us may not be familiar with outside of novels and movies. But the artistic style is refreshingly modern. I like especially that the dogs and horses burst out of the frame, merrily charging into and breaking the confines of the border.

Thank you, @Snausages and everyone who "liked". Table is a stray who moved in after Neighbour's Cat departed. Another neighbour told us that she wasn't always a stray. She was abandoned several years ago when her family moved away
We call her Table because when she is in "loaf" position, she forms a rectangle and she has four stout feet. I should do an overhead shot of her 
and post it when we do the furbaby theme next week.
Now dogs don't hunt anymore but are free to move En liberté!The H equestrian roots as well as the many inspirational treasures in the H museum collex mean that there is no end to the scarf designs featuring horses, carriages, bridles and saddles. My first BdG was a tiny doll version.

My dogs spent a lot of time sleeping
Hmm, do I have any recent H dog scarves? (goes to check...)
Thank you for pointing out the canines in this one, I missed them in all my stalking of this piece
Thank you for sharing your Star Wars perspective in the Rybaltchenko. The real coup de coeur for me is that lovely little key chain fob detail. Such a sweet nod to the origin of H and endurance of "horsepower" by hoof or by hot rod!
Sometimes I buy a scarf because of one detail. Crazy, I know, but true.
A post and a little challenge today...
The wonderful Annie Faivre has made the most economical scarf (maths H of course as we then want all of them) and the most beautiful cover.
Can you help me find the 18 designs hidden in "Au fil du carré" ?
1. Dômes célestes
2. Tapis volants
3. Cavaliers du Caucase
4. Ors nomades
5. Libre comme l'air
6. Art des steppes
7. Au fil de la soie
8. La danse du cheval Marwari
9. Rencontre océane
10. Tapis de selle
11. Légendes de l'arbre
12.... Etc
I'm drying!

So do I. Not crazy at all !
Wonderful @xincinsin -- that Poursuite is very lively and modern looking! Some of the hunting scarves are a little disconcertingly true to the fate of the poor fox but I too love the scarves that elevate the beauty of the equestrian accoutrements-- bridles, stirrups, harnesses etc...The H equestrian roots as well as the many inspirational treasures in the H museum collex mean that there is no end to the scarf designs featuring horses, carriages, bridles and saddles. My first BdG was a tiny doll version.

I am intrigued by her name... please say more about this @xincinsin!WonerThank you, @Snausages and everyone who "liked". Table is a stray who moved in after Neighbour's Cat departed. Another neighbour told us that she wasn't always a stray. She was abandoned several years ago when her family moved away
En Liberte is an all around fantastic design -- it looks wonderful on you! As a dog lover I could not resist it. And my dogs do not hunt but they love to track and their favorite thing is chasing rabbits off the lawn... Your Au Fil du Carre is lovely and I look forward to the reveal of the Quiz answers later @Coco2606. Thanks for a fun exercise for all Annie Faivre fans-- these "composite" scarves are fun that way...
