Congrats dear Croisette, what a beautiful cw! I am Your sister in light blue😆
I was pretty sure, You have Turqueris. It would be lovely to see it!
Beautiful on you! And perfect for your outfit.
I just love your scarf and your post @Jacq1. Grandmothers are very special and I miss mine every day. How fortunate that you have such lovely reminders of her.
Thank you all! My grandmother is fortunately still alive - she was a professional seamstress but nowadays she only sews for my sister and I. We are very lucky to get bespoke clothing and she stays fit that way. It really is a win-win situation!
Ohhhh this is such a beautiful version of Cosmographia CSGM! You look great in it! Would you mind sharing what cw this is?
My thoughts exactly, at first!I was not aware of the "scarf apology bonus" rule. Most thrilled to know.
But I might run into a serious problem in the future, if I proceed with this.
DH is considering about buying a motorbike.
He can’t decide between a Harley/BMW/some Italian brand but he is telling me that he wants a silk scarf, if has a motorbike.
He want’s the skeleton with a hat.
He is obviously taking about cest la fete, here.
Could I be holding in my hands a future men’s scarf collector here?
Now what if it slips from my lips , that yaiks, Your cest la fete has dead flyes, when I sneekly try to borrow it?
Then I own him a scarf😆!!
Mr Agrume definitely needs to read this blog, too. I managed to get one bonus scarf when he led me on an unexpectedly difficult (for me) mountain hike. Going back was no option, and only the thought of what scarf it would be kept me going.He needs…instruction….I am very creative and quite liberal with the scarf bonus concept.
Thank you, HermesEchidna, this is a wonderful introduction with perfect scarf illustration. This iPod is a great discovery! Looking forward very much to this week!Good morning Scarflandia!
Thank You to @bunnycat for hosting the ‘chaos week’ of funny and happy scarves and to all of you for sharing your lovely scarves. It is an uplifting way to begin the new year!
This is my first time hosting a theme, so please bear with me and forgive any ommissions or mistakes of tpr functionality and content. Also I do this on my phone, so spelling mistakes and auto”correct” might occur. Also I tend to write too long…
One of the ‘excuses’/reasons I give myself for indulging in collecting scarves is the potential relevance and meaning of their motives. Having worked and studied cross-dicipline of natural science and history my entire Life, especially scarves with such mixed content intrigues me, and I hope you will join me in exploring that this week.
Finding narratives or traces of STEM - science, technology, engenering and mathematics - in Hermes scarves is easy, especially if the subject it widened to it’s full extent - the entire range of Scientific fields and the historic development of human Endeavour to understand and shape the world.
I will try to present a bouquet of examples this week with a new angle each day, but as my collection does definetely not hold all the great manifestations of stem scarves which exist I look so much forward to see and enjoy all your contribution.
And please, please remember that all sotds are welcome - in Scarflandia everything is on topic because scarves IS the topic. Themes are just the sprinkle on the icing.
I want to begin the week with an assortment of examples. And I start in the now of modern tech, with the computer game inspired Super Silk Quest by Elias Kofouros.

Other designs inspired by digital tech and computers is The Game by the same designer , and we also find some bears (or Apes?) with a gameboy on Nothing but a Dreamer by Mayliss Vigouroux.

Another direct use of tech equipment in scarves is the x-ray image of Please Check in, by Dimitri Rybaltchenko And there are several other designs related to photo and film technology like Photo Fisnish and Sequences. Please let us see these, and other examples!

Nothing but a Dreamer also feature whales. Whales were hunted to near extinction in the 16-19th centuries for their blubber and oil to be used for especially fuel for lamps. The Discovery of how to use gas and electricity instead fortunately relieved the stress on whales, but changed a lot more! No doubt the electric and digital revolution has altered our lifes and the State of the Planet in general to extent we do probably not yet understand. But it has also literally enlightened us. Let me see scarves of lightbulbs, neon, lampposts, sparks and beams - all the modern Electric stuff, while I myself stay Old School with more whales and some Lanterns.

Preparing for the week, I did not have much luck in finding good examples of maths in my own collection - expect for the eternal counting of scarves, and ignoring the costs- but I know they must be there so please also give us some of your creative examples of Math as well to fire up the week.
My only slightly mathematical scarf is Les Douze Leopards (also know as the Double Leopardy - so in fact there are 2 x 12 = 24 leopards) - which even feature an abacus for us to check our calculations on!

Just one @Agrume? That looks like a two-fer at least! If DH even suggested that to me we’d be starting at the CSGM level and if he was serious, the topic ‘exceptionals’ might be broached
Hi
A quick off topic sotd - me and my scarf twin/neighbour airing our Grand Carosse Royals to mark the queens abdication and celebrate the new King.
We felt very royal, but I will spare you the photo where we are waving to an imaginary cheering crowd

And You have another scarfie as a neigbour too.
An exciting day here in Denmark for sure!!
Keeping warm and comfortable at a kids party with Libre Comme Pegase.
Coming home to New Orleans always makes me very happy. Reconnecting with scarves and clothes I've been away from also lifts my spirits! Finding Scarf Mail waiting upon arrival makes me super happyIntroducing my new-to-me cw of New Orleans Creole Jazz (1996 edition) which is a bonus scarf-on-site because I wore it in New Orleans this morning ...

This is so fabulous I almost dropped everything and went to go see if I could find it and buy it! Looks drop dead GORGEOUS on you. The only thing that stops me from scarf trigger finger is that I don’t think I can pull off these colors.
All gorgeous @Jereni. We're twins on Jungle Love Stamped and sisters on Cheval Sirene. We're also twins on Hermes Factory - I just LOVE this scarf. I wear it all.the.time! Wishing you safe travel.
Thank you! Same - I love Hermes Factory so. Along with Animapolis, it might be my favorite scarf. The colors are just so good.
This is really lovely - such unexpectedly and delightful colors. I would love to see more of this beautiful piece.
As usual, you have like the best smile on TPF!!!
Yay congrats!!! Looks amazing. I keep debating this one and y’all are not helping…
I missed this in my earlier round - congrats on this LE!!! So incredibly special - that rainbow hem!!! Gorgeous.
