It’s one of my favorite silks, thanks dear!t
That orange mountain zebra is one delicious burst of sunshine
Good morning, Scarflandia. Following up on yesterday's beautiful Early America posted by @Croisette7, I thought I would post my recent acquisition today. I tied it to show two features: George and Martha Washington and the incredible border. This scarf was not on my radar in any serious way until I began looking at Costume de Fete and thinking about Folkloric designs. I had Zabavushka in my collection from early on but that was the extent of it. A friend then posted a beautiful Early America CSGM and I became intrigued last fall and decided to add this iconic design. This scarf pays homage to the young America: it features a beautiful, naïve rendition of George and Martha Washington surrounded by a variety of animals, foliage and children…the patterns of the border are inspired by the American folk art of paper cutting or “carnivet”.
beautiful parade Croisette, and of course you would have the colorway that started my hunt for Galop Volant! Brava!❤️

I will try calling customer service, thank you for the advice. My current store is not so good and always packed with tourists, but they are building a brand new store super close to me -like 5 minutes away. I’m excited, DH not so much, lol
This is fantastic with your smocked top @MAGJES.
It is pristine, amazingly @Lellabelle and thank you.
I *need* to find a Brandenburgs for my collection @Nhare! Love your surteint version...
Happy to help always @EtsyBoss!
Beautiful both. I hope your mother lets you borrow it sometimes @Maedi! What a nice daughter you are. Your Clair de Lune is gorgeous on you.
Yes thank you @Nhare! I am on a mission to collect 7 1953 designs. I started with Plumes which is so beautiful and timeless and Carrick a Pompe reissue with its cute border and now this delightful Mail Coach which was a very happy surprise.
Thank you @Maedi! It turns out that I am twins with @Croisette7 and @momasaurus and I truly miss @turfnsurf on this thread. Her vintage collections and tremendous knowledge were so helpful and fun...
Oh, please don't get rid of all the black @Nomad. I disagree that it is horrible on you but now you have a beautiful closet of scarves for black to be a useful background and the scarves a buffer with your lovely coloring and gorgeous hair!Sotd, joining the faubourg love. I don’t wear this moody cw nearly enough.
I will eventually get to no black in my wardrobe. It is horrible on me. Truly. So I am thankful for colorful scarves to go near my face during my closet transition

Oh you poor thing @xincinsin. I hope you feel better soon. Sending good wishes. This is a wonderful display and especially like your Glitch-- so rare and fun to see! And of course, ELeK!!!Apologies for my absentee hosting this week. After getting through the pandemic in relatively good health, I caught the flu bug this week
Scarfies who have been on SOTD for a while will notice that I have an obsession with rocks and gems. So it was only natural that I would find that vintage design Mineraux.

It was therefore a foregone conclusion that when H released a design on the same theme, I would jump on it. My three cws of Mineraux are quite naturalistic, so my SA was surprised when I chose the dark pink cw for Pierres et Cristaux. It reminded me of rock slabs which gemologists put under tests to check if they are natural, enhanced or synthetic.

Several scarfies have shown the multiple iterations of BdG old and new. I like H's remakes of Ex Libris, some of which are so different that they look nothing like the original. A few are on my wishlist.
An Ex Libris with grail status is EL en Kimonos.

I have two.

And inspired by @Julide's full array of this design, I recently acquired a third which is still in the mail.
Gattoni created a cute version EL Atlantis with the groom at the bottom of the ocean.

When I travel, I sometimes bring along EL Globetrotter which is in lightweight silk, a nifty smaller size and and shows the 4 points of the compass.
View attachment 5696041
And one of my fave EL-based designs is Glitch. It depicts EL on a very staticky old TV screen. If you do not take a closer look, you would miss the pattern altogether. A techno interpretation of a very traditional design!

Thank you so very much @Karenska-- it is one I learned from @MAGJES -- not sure what it is called. I'll see if it is on the tutorial thread and post a link.
The one that started me on the hunt for this design that totally captured my heart @Croisette7! Love it on your argyle sweater.
I have that madras bandana because of you @Karenska! Love this parade of Ex Libirs variations.
Wonderful to see these to compare @Croisette7. The large format a la Plume is so lovely too in its more abstract rendition...
I am in awe of your always breathtaking photos @lanit! Because I live on th ebeach half the year I too had to collect these designs! Twins on the Daulat and Chemins and sisters on Reve de Corail. Treasured pieces all.
Such a beautiful array of silks @lanit-- I am delighted to be twins on the bright and charming Mountain Zebra and the lovely Pivoines, as well as sisters on several. Like you, I love the artistic designs that highlight or hone in closely on beautiful natural subjects but also like you, I have made a place for all kinds of designs and cherish them. This season there is a new and lovely Annie Faivre in double face format! (not to enable or entice
)I have the Equateur Maxi Twilly Cut @lanit-- a favorite and an addition to the beautiful blue wash 90. I wish I had your discipline to avoid duplication of loved designs! Here's a thumbnail of the MT Cut-- it is a very lovely and useful format...If anyone has an reissued Equateur or Au Couer de la Vie to contrast with the above, please feel free to post. Once I have a design, I rarely invest in reissue to avoid duplication unless its a different colorway or format such as Samourais or Mythiques Phoenix.

For a bit of history, this scarf was originally issued in 1942, in 1989 then a special edition 70 was issued in 2011 for Bocuse d’ Or USA Foundation. Perfect scarf for foodies! A la Gloire de la Cuisine Francaise by Dumas.

Astrologie was first scarf DH bought me as a gift over ten years ago. More recently the Mousseline Astrologie Nouvelle with ombre pattern was my holiday gift. I think there are many versions of Astrologie amongst us scarfies!

Amazing! And perhaps La Patisserie Francaise by Pierre Marie is a bit of a hat tip (those lovely towers of fruit). How special to have collected this @lanit!
Della Cavelleria as SE tea dyed silk and mousseline.
I’m happy to have the 70 dear, I tried several vintage Cuisines and it was too hard to find a wearable one due to stains, fading, issues. Btw it was also issued in blue for the NY east coast chapter. red was for west coast Chapter.
So glad you shared these beauties Croisette. I will add my plumes below! Mousseline and CSGM Plumes en Fete.
I *so* love this post @lanit They all look so similar to me it's hard to tell them apart to this newbie. Maybe I'm tricked by the fabulous strings of those little brown beads. Are they tropical seeds or shells wonderment sent me off googling, LOL. It's still a mystery to me! I love these scarves, and so with you about Annie Faivre designs.
