Thank you coco!The last one is very elegant !
Completely forgot that Petit Duc was a 90 before it was issued as 140! Yes, mine is 140 and the 90 is just as fabulous!
What fun! And a gorgeous, Coco.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" ?

So true. Doesn’t matter how many silks are in the proverbial drawer, I see ones I don’t have and say, “oooh, me, maybe….” It’s the nature of H math.I still am soooo tempted by the gorgeous 140 but as you say there's only so much room in the closet and only one neck to wear the ones already there! It is fun to sigh in wonderment over all the beauties on parade here and of course, H just keeps them coming...
Lovely, informative post, dear RBH. Your Givernys are gorgeous. Someday I will go.Giverny was designed by Laurence Bourthoumieux in 1989 and features flowers from Monet's beautiful gardens surrounding the central image of the iconic Japanese bridge over his water lilies. The scarf is surrounded by a colored bamboo frame with a wide, solid-colored border and a matching hem. Here is a photo of my scarf along with a couple of photos I took when I visited the gardens in 2002.

In their A/W 2017 collection Hermes released a different Giverny garden scarf called Fleurs de Giverny by Christine Henry. Here we have a new interpretation of the famous gardens where the floral design fills most of the scarf, which is surrounded by a border of flower vignettes and a contrasting hem. The perspective is no longer from ground level, but is an aerial view. In place of the usual circular scarf designs of the past, Henry's scarf is based on a quarter section of a circle. For illustration I selected the Hermes photo of CW15 which has many pink flowers, much like the actual garden photograph above which I took from a second story window of Monet’s home.

Thank you, dear LKB!Gorgeous photos and mod shot @Redbirdhermes-- so nice when our silks are imbued with memories like this!
All lovely examples--among my favorites of yours-- I like your double scarf rings on Jeu d'Omnibus @Karenska!
Your menagerie-- both silky cats and real life kitties-- is irresistible @bunnycat. Sisters on the new one (silk, that is!)![]()
Stunning-- I adore this design @lanit and feel the same! I love your beautiful corail dip dye with the black jacket!
That Heavenly Horses SE is just amazing @lanit! We are sisters on this charming design which never fails to make me smile with delight. I think that there are two recent designs that are a bit of a hat tip to this one-- Pierre Marie's Carres Volant 70 and Virginie Jamin's little equestrians on Passades et Serpentines (which also one my heart).
Love this so much @Maedi! We need bigger photos of your lovely smile and silks!
Most definitely I do need a basket issue Les Pivoines! How stunning these are @Croisette7. That orange corner on the last is truly spectacular (and thank you always for your kind remarks).
Just lovely @Coco2606-- you do gravitate towards brights and they suit you so well! Thank you for your sweet comments on my more sedate silks!
Is it true blonds have more fun?Thank you Karenska!
Handsome boi, yes....but very "blond"If faced with a choice...he will always pick the ill advised one.
Pickles: Want to play??? I can play with Frieda???? (makes motions towards stalking Frieda)
Me: Nooooo Pickles, that is NOT a good idea.
Picles: Let's play with Frieda then!
Me:
Beautiful Maedi!

Oh- this is so stunning on you LKB! Is this more green you are trying to add on for 2023?I can't help but be struck by how Aline Honore's Tous les Bateaux du Monde, issued in 2013, is visually so evocative of Francoise de la Perriere's 1966 design, Jonques et Sampans. Both feature boats on a center field surrounded by a border. Of course the borders are radically different, the boats too-- Honore's inclusive "all" and de la Perriere's specific regional ones-- as well as the corners, but to me, the one seems patterned on the other. Perhaps it is just a maritime art convention, perhaps it is in homage, a nod to influence or merely coincidence? I've done no research beyond the issue dates so I do not know. I do hope we will see a mod shot or two of Jonques et Sampans...[hint, hint]
