It is easier than it sounds 😊. I used an ordinary handmixer with hooks for the dough. The (crazy) amount of butter makes it easy to work with and Roll out.Super yum. Reads a bit complicated and to me intimidating.
I am actually twins with you, yay! I saw it on an instagram page in 2020 and knew that was the cw I had to have. I contemplated rehoming it for a bit because it Is really dark on me, but I love the color drama in it too much. Everything in this is so sharp and bright. I have paired with light denim tops at times too to lighten the dark look on me which has worked too.
Thank you Maedi, I have several cw, but saw it on Nomad and must have it.What a formidable cw. I haven’t seen this design in darker colors and it’s smashing.
oh, we're sisters ... it is underrated here, don't know why, it's really lovely ... would like to see it flat if possible.View attachment 6105296
SOTD Les Girouettes in a fun cw.
This is exquisite in these colours, Lellabelle!It’s lovely. The rich purple is yummy. I must keep any eye out for this one.
Thank you ‘Nola. Would love to see yours with CDL when you can!
Congratulations, @HermesEchidna ! You’ve had such a great year for grails 😊
My mouth started watering at the very mention of saffron buns with marzipan. That’s my idea of comfort food! If you have a recipe you recommend, I’d love to give these a try. Enjoy the Lillet rose
Thank you, @Jereni!
Paris at Christmas is such a treat. Thanks for sharing, Cookie!
Thank you, dear @GloWW0rM! The week is finally done, and I am ending it with a cocktail and some comfort food. Toasted cheese sandwiches and chocolate orange.
Beautiful! The Rembrandt is a wonder, even during restoration.
SOTD is space derby, black and gold. I’m in a starry night place this week, evidently

Cocktail to accompany it is a Claridge (like the London hotel), a Friday night favourite. Easy and tasty. Recipe below:
1oz gin
1oz dry vermouth (Noilly prat, for preference)
0.5oz apricot brandy
0.5oz cointreau
Shake over ice, and enjoy cold with a twist of lemon peel for garnish.

And @Cookiefiend I am loving your pictures. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Christmas markets fun is so much fun
And @HermesEchidna i love your scarf mail. The colors are great on you!
Très chic, darkstar and perfect coordinated with your lilac sweater!Sometimes, it has just to sparkle! As much as I love my CSGMs and their cosiness, warmth and ability of being throw-on-and-go, my silks are very precious to me because of their glow and their subtlety. And for me, Annie Faivre is a master in bringing out these elements to their perfection, her colours dance and sparkle, a pure delight for me.View attachment 6105320View attachment 6105322

This is not technically a winter scarf - being Splash Park I suppose it’s the opposite, but I’m so excited to have a scarf that more or less coordinates with my Norwegian sweater! These patterns are intricate and I never feel like any H scarves really go with them.

Sisters, HE! I love these stoles esp. for winter, the Angora backside is so cozy.Good afternoon.
Running a few food related errands and wearing a winter version of Plumes - a long silk scarf with wool on the other side.
In Danish to ‘wear a little feather’ - ‘have a lille fjer på’ is to be a bit tipsy, so it is almost on theme for winter drinks

Wish you a soft Day!
How interesting! I also have 2 shawls like that, one side silk, one wool, but not from H. Perhaps I will show one...Good afternoon.

Joining in with La Vie du Grand Nord worn for a children’s Christmas production this afternoon. I tried a fancier knot but it didn’t work out as I’d hoped and I ran out of time so I fluffed and let it be!

“Faubourg by Night” snowglobe scarf for the season. I’m trying to be cool and insouciant with the “throw it on” not knot look. It really is hard to get that French je ne sais quoi…

No trip would be complete without a visit to the Hermes Boutique - it's gorgeous with a front facade of glass bricks/tiles (I think it was recently posted in the windows thread too).

Thank you so much, dear @HermesEchidna ! This is very kind of you. MrBelle sends thanks too - he is obsessed with marzipan 😉 Off to find saffron…Dear @Lellabelle - Thank you. The recipe is from my MiL and I have tried to translate it to English from Swedish. Please excuse any spelling errors and ask if something is not clear - I am not that familiar with baking terminology in English - or in Swedish for that matter.
Saffransbullar English
For the dough
5 deciliter milk
50 gram of live yeast (can probably be substituted by dry yeast?)
1 gram of saffron
1 teaspoon sugar
200 gram soft butter
A pinch salt
2 deciliter sugar
14 deciliter wheat flour
Filling
200 gram marcipan
100 gram soft butter
0,5 deciliter sugar
2 teaspoon vanillasugar
Decoration
1 egg, beaten
Pearl sugar or crystal sugar
Heat the milk to 37 degrees C.
Crumble and dissolve the yeast into the lukewarm milk.
Ground the saffron with a spoon of sugar and mix into the milk.
Combine soft butter, flour, salt, sugar and the liquid in one Big Bowl and mix together by hand or with a mixer for about 10 minutes until it is a very elastic soft lovely dough which easily slip off the sides of the Bowl. Cover and let it rise to double size for about 40 minutes.
Grate the marcipan and mix with vanilla, sugar and butter.
Roll the dough out to a Big square and spread out the filling evnly on top. Fold the dough together - fold one third of the dough towards the middle and the third from the other side on top of this as well. Roll this rectangle of dough out to fit a large backing tray. Line the backing tray with backing paper and put the square of filled dough in there. Then Cut the dough into squares - easy with a wet knife - but dont separate them. Also cut a cross in each of the squares - easy with scissors. Cover the whole tray and leave to rise for about 30 minutes.
Brush it all with a beaten egg and sprinkle with Pearl sugar.
Put in a preheated oven on 220 degree C and bake for at least 20-25 minutes until lovely goldbrown but on top and in the bottom of the buns.
Ideally it Then looks like this. Good luck on getting one yourself if there are kids or partners around!
