Grand Theater Nouveau - a grand theater… well… how about The Opera Bastille in Paris,
where I saw L’Heure Espagnole and most especially Gianni Schicchi and heard O Mia Babbino Caro.

I’m sure those water ballet dancers don’t only move to the sound of their splashes: SOTD was Ballet Aquatique.
So much to unpack in this wonderful catch-up post @CedarWaxWing -- I think I broke your same rules and imposed some similar ones on myself! Can't wait to see you back woth your beautiful mod shots!Hello Scarfies! I found my way back to TPF this week and so enjoyed watching everyone's Bingo cards fill in with beautiful photos and scarf stories so thank you! Bunny was, as always, a wonderful host and my only regret is that I was unable to participate due to, oh you know, LIFE!. I did do a quick mock-up on the Bingo card for myself and realized that if this were an Ironman competition, I would have probably finished up OK with 3 Bingos, but if you were to throw in two other sports like scarf-tying and special-collecting, I might not have finished the race at all. What I really like about TPF though is that it is NOT a competition, just full of fun, encouragement, information, camaraderie and so many lovely people.
Back to Bingo: I was surprised when I realized I couldn't claim the "Bought a Scarf Last Month" square because when I looked, it turns out I went TWO months without buying one at all - this is heartening data for my wallet with no AI involved.Another note is that up until this week the Brides de Gala Bingo square would not have been a square for me - no pun intended.
But it so happens I ordered a BdG twilly Appliqué Pique and a BdG Tartan 45 which are both still on their way to me. As far as other Bingo squares, I am in the lot with you who have scarves yet unworn including the Kyoto Marble Fouets et Badines 90, so there's that. I also have recently been a repeat "Large Format Offender" due to a rule I legislated for myself late last fall: "No more silk or 90's for a while - only CSGMs and GTs allowed in" - including @bunny's Arcs-en Ciel cw in the Noir/ Rose/Jaune she modeled, and which I LOVE, and am wearing frequently. Come to think of it, @bunnycat MADE ME DO IT
. All went well for a bit, but then, of course, I BROKE MY RULE and ended up with two Precious Paradise 90s and a Jungle Love Forever.
My two-scarf days usually happen in the summer with a small format as a hatband then paired with a CSGM as the evening cools. I am schooled now on Hermes Box Altars, and so much more. Stay tuned: Exciting single strand of white chest hair from our our PWD on the way- just eeking out a finish...and a day late, at that.
Continuing on to the world of MUSIC with @Karenska!
And for me as well @Maedi
Always so clever with your connection @HermesEchidna-- that green Carnaval des Animaux is marvelous on you!Good morning!
Thank you @Karenska for a great kick-off and Thank you all for your likes and compliments on my Precious Paradise
This morning I tried on three scarves sharing names with great classic Music pieces.
Casse-noisette - Tjajkovskij’s ballet The Nutcracker

Quatre Saisons - four seasons of Vivaldi

And Sotd Carnaval des Animaux - by Saint-saëns, the design even featuring a page of music (not seen here, as I managed to highlight the horse skeletons for a meeting today)

Wish you all a melodic monday!
Love this cw of Gene Kelly @Jereni!
Safe travels and how lovely your new bandana looks with your top and beautiful pendant @Karenska.Thank you, Maedi. I do love my bandanas and the “never worn” status no longer applies to my beautiful, dare I say lyrical Grand Manege bandana in bleu jean and the freshest rose, with burgundy and white accents. Maybe this design can be interpreted as a “quadrille”, a dance that was fashionable in late 18th- and 19th-century Europe and its colonies.
Performed by four couples in a rectangular formation, it is related to American square dancing. (source: Wikipedia)

On the train to Penn Station and will be away for a few days, but I will weigh in each day!
There used to be swing dancing in the Lincoln Center Plaza that was so much fun to watch and even participate in @Sickgrl13 -- how fun that you used to dress the part. In New Orleans we like to see the swing bands, singers and performances that are a regular feature at the WWII Museum. I may need to get this scarf!
Wow! Beautiful photos both-- I have this scarf on account of your mod shots @Redbirdhermes but right now, my niece is traveling in Paris and asked to borrow it so the animals will come home speaking French...
I love the colors of your Bottes @Croisette7-- here is the flat photo of Fleurs from Carre de Paris' website. As you see, no border! But the colors are very delightful and easy to pair. I have worn it to see several of the operas whose flowers are featured!
Thank you so much @Cookiefiend! That has been a most scarf-useful cardigan-- probably should have bought a back-up
Twins on this beautiful GTN, and a great one to pull for this week. You are making me feel sniffle-y too as O Mio Babbino Caro was the first piece my daughter recorded for her music camp audition so many years ago...
Thank you kindly! The blue Fleurs is magnificent, really!So much to unpack in this wonderful catch-up post @CedarWaxWing -- I think I broke your same rules and imposed some similar ones on myself! Can't wait to see you back woth your beautiful mod shots!

Beautiful color ways and you make me long for a second PP which is not ideal.

Thrilled to be your twin (and enabler!) CWW! That Arcs en Ciel was a surprise hit for me too.
Fabulous on site! Love your CW of GTN too!
A beautiful paring Agrume!

That’s a wonderful ending to a long search story. Thank you for hosting this engaging, interesting and fun week.I think I managed to catch up with everyone. Lost some quotes and had to backtrack.
Firstly, I'd like to say THANK YOU to everyone for playing along with Scarf Bingo 2024.It has been a blast with many fun stories and Bingos.
Now, my Saturday update.

First off. I can say I DID NOT by a scarf last month. That is something that hasn't happened in a while. The last scarf I bought was Cocoricooooo! in January.really! I should get a gold star for going cold chicken after that purchase.
So I'll end with double Bingo in the first column and last row.
I earned a Badge of Rehoming Regret on a scarf this past year. I have certainly had rehoming Regrets on purses, usually though when I make a break with a scarf, and send it t a new home, I have a clean conscience.
Flamboyant Web on the other hand, has proved my undoing. I first had a pocket square, but wanted a bigger format. So I bought the 100cm CS. But, I wasn't sure about the color combination. And thought I'd like the larger losange style. So I rehomed the 100cm, and bought the burgundy losange. Now I just wish I had the 100cm back as that is my favorite size....argh...
The 100cm CS I re-homed last year. 😢

Today's losange. (Sorry I look tired. I've been up since 6am....)

And then Analysis Paralysis. The is kind of a roundabout situation. I KNEW which Sweet Dreams I really wanted. But the severe lack of availability of the multicolor colorway made that next to impossible to acquire. So I pondered between what was available online the time to try and find a second best choice which for me were the red and blue colorway or the orange and turquoise one. Now I was not as "seasoned" in seasonal scarf collecting when it came out, and I had not yet developed the necessary "commitment" required for the trigger finger on H dot com.But I never got my chance as they never even made it online here. That analysis paralysis led to one of the longest searches and waits I've had! But I am glad I did finally get my original choice, even if it was 5 or 6 ??? years late.
Sweet Dreams from yesterday.

Thank you again everyone for joining me in a fantastic Bingo Week!
Yesterday we got one last gasp of cool weather and I wore my Rooster Scarf again, Cocoricooooo!. If you recall the colorway choice drama in the seasonal thread this is a scarf I bought to remind me of "the old days" of Argentine Tango dancing and in particular my favorite subset of it - Milonga. Of course, there is a milonga called Cacareando which is about hens and roosters (not the birds...) and feature roosters crowing through the song.
This isn't my favorite video of the song. He is either just a better dancer or she is having a bad day and refuses to collect her feet several times ??? so it's not a "match" (sorry- 15 years of tango does that to me....) but the lyrics are in the description.

So pretty with your delectable puffer jacket.
The green Fd’o is fabulous and such a precious Orgaphone jaquard.
This is an excellent tutorial. I always thought flat hems were a lost cause. Jaguar is a design to hoard 😂 and beautiful on you.
You picked a great color .
