Full weekly 2024 scarf-theme calendar is available here
Oh wow, I don’t think I have ever seen that cw before. It is stunning, and you make it even more so.I don't have much in the way of scarves in the brown family but I am absolutely a card-carrying Choc-a-holic! My SOTD is a new-to-me cw of Feux du Ciel. The border is a very deep dark brown and the brush strokes remind me of a delicious dish of melting vanilla fudge swirl ice cream...Happy Friday, Scarflandia!

I am so sorry to hear about this tragic loss.It was and remains a special, magical moment, along with watching Hull score the "no goal" in the very wee hours in an Austin hotel with my sons and being with my sons at the parade. There is also sadness and melancholy associated with those moments as we lost my oldest son in a vehicle accident 2 weeks after his 16th birthday in 2001.
Woah — such beauties! I always forget you have that CW of L’Ivresse.View attachment 5950294View attachment 5950295View attachment 5950296View attachment 5950297View attachment 5950298Hi guys! Popping in with a little Romance from the archives….
This reminds me of watching Orfeo ed Euridice (the opera) a few years back. We are twins on this scarf, and I picked it up because of having seen the opera.Today going with Sous le Charme d’Orphee…. I always thought the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice was one of the more romantic in Greek mythology, if a bit tragic.

Nice work hiding the borders! It looks fabulous on you.SOTD - Les Cavaliers d’Or. Scarf mail from earlier this month. I was so happy to find a RED scarf… and the second I paid for it, realized, “the border is brown.” Gah!!! Well, reddish-brown, but still, boo. Managed to hide it pretty well, though. And decided to take my own advice that if the color is in the scarf, that color can be worn with the scarf. This top is actually light blue, though it appears on the green side here (the lighting must be a bit off) - trying to pick up on the blue on the silk:

Thank you, Anna. Good eye, as I generally think of these two strands of pearls as large, baroque, silver akoyas. I think you are right that they are light blue in color. I see some pink and green overtones as well as the blue overtones.Oh stunning! Are those blue akoyas?!
Congrats!!!OMG YA’LL!!!!
I’ve been waiting on this for several weeks - first the seller waited a week to ship it and then it had to go to the selling site’s hub and be checked for authenticity and THEN eventually moved on from there. But - grailmail finally!!!!
I’ve been enamoured with Ex Libris en Kimonos since my first week stalking the SOTD threads of this forum, but only honed in on this colorway recently. Was very excited to find it on an after-market site earlier this month and after some bargaining and a coupon from the site, it came to around $750 … yes over retail but for what I see for most ELeKs, not too terrible, in my opinion at least!
It is like, the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever seen lol!!!! Thanks for letting me share!!!

Hope you're on the mend at this point @Jereni I know I'd feel a whole lot better if I had that cw of Jardin's in my scarf stash (I do have the white and blue one so I'm not utterly bereft)Conf is over but sadly now I am sick which is a bummer. Trying to cheer myself up with Dans un Jardin Anglais, which is definitely the most romantic color scheme of all my scarves. I have always felt this cw just screams “Valentine’s Day”, but maybe that’s just me.

Many congrats @EtsyBoss, super fabulous way to celebrate a milestone!Thank you for the wonderful birthday wishes @Snausages, @AnnaE, @ninakt, @Maedi, @HermesEchidna, @SilkCouture, @LKBNOLA, @Living.la.vida.fifi, @Jereni, @Lellabelle and anyone who I might have missed
My evening scarf was my one and only and much treasured Animapolis which I wore with a gorgeous drop of yellow sunshine in the form of a Picotin 18 Touch! The handles are divine and the color radiates. The Mr. said as soon as he saw it he knew it was the one.
He also gifted me a long wished for Vie Precieuse de la Mediterranee in a very pretty shade of cornflower blue. My daughter who is a huge Taylor Swift fan saw the blue and said it reminded her of the 1989 album that is that color and has birds on it, specifically seagulls. Sure enough, there are seagulls on it. I love that connection and am looking forward to wearing it. That bag tho! It's kind of a scene stealer.

This post needs an alert, luckily I'm sitting at my computer and the floor is not too far away! Just outstanding, wowThank you, Anna.

I have a long strand of Tahitian drop silver body pearls which have blue overtones, and look like more of a medium blue when worn.

My most prized strand of blue pearls is this deep blue strand of round blue body Tahitians from Rikitea in the Gambier Islands. All of these pearls were purchased from Pearl Paradise.

Wow, this is gorgeous!!! I never would have guessed how beautifully it ties. Looks like my wishlist is growing, AGAIN!!!Really stretching the theme here as there's no red or chocolate, but here's the recent Lift Profile which I suspect is languishing in every boutique scarf drawer for lack of love. For me, it was love at first sight proving only that it's ever in the eye of the beholder....
Yes, that is what I meant! I have a strand myself, but mine is shorter than yours. I have a strand of very dark Tahitians similar to yours, but I am still working on deciding whether I want some more baroque ones. I always find pearls go wonderfully with scarves!Thank you, Anna.
