Thanks so much, Ashanti!!This is a gorgeous CW. Looks utterly perfect with your top.
Cookie, we are insane. A select group of us lie awake at night thinking about scarves. Lol.That is a hilarious towel! :iaugh:
ELenK is such a beautiful scarf, the crane adds so much to it!
PERFECT!![]()
(as I was lying awake in the middle of the night, I hoped we’d see Toucans! Thank you!
)
This is a gorgeous colorway - just fabulous!
Snausages, I live on the edge! ThanksGreat intro @Cookiefiend and lovely scarves
@LKBNOLA great birds and welcome home and happy new year
@Marta_K i don’t know which I like better - the tea towel or the scarf! (Ok no contest, the scarf!)
@Awillow beautiful scarf and knot - I admire your bravery for dog walking enscarved
Great bridge @Redbirdhermes and beautiful blues
So glad to be your twin, fifi. I must be doing something right!Such a fabulous CW! This is one eye-catching silk!
So glad you had such a marvelous trip in Portugal! This is a spectacular collage… Every single scarf is perfection!
Wonderful silks and both work do well with your striped tops
Thank you so much for such a wonderful intro! You brought the biggest smile to my face with those darling yoga chicks! This will be a great week and you are the perfect hostess to lead us. I so admire your bird scarves and you’ve started with some of the best
Gaaah! It’s so amazing! Hard to believe that this is the reverse side!
ELEK is so amazing! I am happy to your twin on this beauty
Marvelous on you! You are wearing the perfect top with it… This CW was my choice as well
What a great crossover scarf! And, actually, works great as crossover to next week’s theme as well!
I’ve said it before and I say it again: that hem! What a fun scarf this is!
Thank you, Jereni!Love that Bal de Oiseaux! I think that is my favorite colorway of it.
Wonderfully colorful and cheerful!
Beautiful! I love the teal background of this one.
Omg you have this cw of SdS???!!! Sooo beautiful. This scarf had many lovey cws but this was the unicorn IMO.
And @mktlim hallooooo fellow F1 fan! Thanks for the heads up on that scarf!
Lkb, you know me too well - a sucker for a 140. Maybe luckily for me, they did not ever have it in when I was at the boutique.This is a beautiful cw of this design and the sunflower is *chef's kiss* @Nomad!
Aaaahhhh-- so nice to "see" you @Katharina Luise and looking beautiful as always. We are twins on that amazing cw of Mars. I am grateful to the many TPFers here who helped me to style mine so I could appreciate it to the full...
Thank you @Marta_K -- I am sure I taxed everyone's patience on the seasonal thread with my whining and worrying I would never get my hands on one! It was long distance love at first sight!
ELeK is a beautiful choice and your petite bib knot really shows the crane so well (even upside down!). Your tea towel is so cute and what a nice gift for your MIL, who sounds like a true delight @Marta_K.
Thank you so much @de vent. May it be a sweet year, indeed. L'Shanah Tovah Tikateivu to you.
This cw is stunning on you @Awillow! Have you been tempted by the very glorious 140s last season? I know you love that format
Thank you @Snausages! Shanah Tovah!
Oh huge congratulations @mktlim! This is one of my favorites in my tiny collex of jacquard designs-- it is so so beautiful. I love the gingko leaves....What a lovely find.
This is as hilarious as the wacky imagination that created the scarf @Snausages -- and your last tie is just beautiful.
Beautiful @Jereni-- you are glowing! We are also twins on this one but it looks quite different in the pretty light of your photo...
Thank you @Living.la.vida.fifi -- I learned about the pleasures of scarves on site here at TPF and it does enhance the experience of travel and scarf collecting for sure! Isn't it astonishing that Bal de Oiseaux is so good on the reverse?
Thank you so much @Karenska. Here's one last Sintra photo for you and @Lellabelle. I wore it to our farewell dinner, so here is Sintra in Gaia, across the river from Porto seen at night.

Snausages, this is lovely on you. And that hem!Sur Mon Nuage is one of those scarves that can fit just about any theme.
Yes, penguins are birds! I’ve pet one at the Cincinnati aquarium and they may look rubbery but in fact are covered in dense soft feathers

Neither fish nor butterfly are birds but if you combine them perhaps?

This is a beauty, Jereni.Happy Sunday Scarflandia.
I am just GLOWING from what was easily the best Formula 1 race of the season thus far, so am behind on today’s shares.
Thanks @Cookiefiend for kicking off the theme! Fortunately my Carnival des Animaux should fit in, I’m pretty sure it has a flock of birds.
Viva la Ferrari!!!

Fifi, what an extraordinary MP collection. And that is my favorite cw of Cheval Phoenix!Happy Sunday, everyone! And, many thanks to @Cookiefiend for such a wonderful intro that brought a smile to my face…
Though I was going to debut a Grail today that I recently acquired, I remembered how cold the AC is at church and ended up wearing my treasured giant silk Carnaval des Oiseaux to Mass and brunch this morning. I love this one so much that I own two CWs…

Nomad, I love how fresh the blues and greens are. Perfect on you!I thought for sure there had to be a bird on flanerie de Versailles. So many trees and shrubs and water on the grounds, surely there had to be a bird. But not a one. So my thought of this being a crossover failed. Oh well.
Twins with fifi![]()

Lkb, I love how modern this one feels, and everytime I see one, it goes back on the list!Good morning, everyone! Who wouldn't just love a house full of talking birds? I know I would! Plus, like many here, my heart beats fast for a scarf with writing on it... give me maps, music notation, letters, script! Hat tip to our Scarf Mistress for the massive enablement on this one-- as soon as I saw it on @Cookiefiend in one of my first bird theme weeks, I went on one of *those* scarf searches. Never found her charming pink and and green but after a few false starts I found this one! So happy to be sisters with her and @scarf1 and several others.

I love this one on you too, Nomad. This is one of those scarves that it seems impossible to choose based on photos online. A crapshoot.

Looking forward to a feathery & flying week!
Debated with some of my bird-featuring scarves this morning about which to wear/air. Winner was the one I have probably used the least - Bocages.
Runner ups were halte en camargue and libre comme l’air (last one is from the archives, as my phone due to some sorcery decided to only do Black and white - same dress though).
I add a snapshot of the household pet - Zeus; God of the sky.
Have a lovely Day.

what a clever idea @gemmadawn and I count 9 different unique colour options here! These look like they would be just big enough for a larger format too? Weave a twilly or scarf through multiple links? Or you could keep some linked in pairs and style it like a mors ring! The possibilities are countlessMy scarf of the day is Sur Mon Nuage twilly, purchased on my trip to Lisbon last week. It's my first day back in work so this is helping to remind me of an amazing holiday in Portugal.
There are several birds in the design, as well as a flying fish (which happily also reminds me of my visit to Barbados earlier this year).
The ring is from a necklace, also from Portugal, which I bought two of so I could take one apart. As soon as I saw it I knew the links would look great with a twilly threaded through.
