Thank you for the great hosting this week @HermesEchidna, very "inventive" theme and your new Voyage de Pytheas is spectacular!

I also love the leopard staring dreamily at the map. It is my favorite of the 12 (24) leopards on this scarf, maybe because I relate so much to the sense of wanderlust! 😄 🌎

My SOTD is Le Jaguar et Le Colibri which just arrived today and is just as gorgeous as I hoped it would be. There are soo many beautiful colors, I can’t imagine anything this scarf would not go with! To make it on theme, well, there are animals on it, so biology-adjacent and there are lots of geometrical patterns.:idea:

Bonus pic of our new king and queen from yesterday. (Not mine though, as @HermesEchidna, I also saw the huge crowds and chose to watch from home). As it happens, the queen also occasionally shops at H. Some time last summer I was waiting outside the CPH H store, a little bewildered as to why they weren’t letting anyone into the mostly empty store - until she came walking right past us and into the store. :lol:

I love this elusive (for me) colorway of Colibri. Congrats!
Thank you!!! Yes it was one of the original few that you were so kind to discuss with me. I put it by the wayside for awhile but your lovely mod shot stuck in my mind!



So charming and cute! Looks great.



So elegant and serene. Looks perfect with that beige … sweater? I am fascinated with the furry cuffs.




:clap::clap::clap: Absolutely spectacular!!! Looks great in that knot, I will have to try it. So happy to twin with you on this!



I love the greenish tone of that blue, and how cool it is that it was influenced by Escher?? Love that scarf where the birds are morphing into fish also.



This is my fav colorway of LdT I think. So stunning on you!



Beautiful FT!!! This design is so full of wonderful detail.



Haha, clever scarf for the theme!



You look beautiful and snuggly in both!!! Hope you were able to keep warm.
Thank you, Jereni!
I’m a fan of science fiction, and one of my favorite stories is The Island of Dr Moreau, where said doctor experimented combining animal/human dna resulting in strange creatures (the Marlon Brando movie version is a can’t-miss for ‘what were they thinking?’)

So for odd dna combinations…

Oooh so glad you got it! Just oook at how amazing it looks on you! This shawl is a masterpiece and I especially love this CW



Yes! I was actually thinking of this design in relation to the week earlier… It is stunning!



I have a burgundy La France… Love yours… It is a treasure!



Haha! It is amazing and ties beautifully



Great post! Of course this design belongs with you! The green in my favorite CW but thr Breitling is so special!



Oh wow! What a cool story about the royal sighting! This shawl is spectacular! I got another CW last week but I exchanged it and your CW is on its way to me now and I can’t wait



Oh wow! I had not noticed that detail! How cool is that!


Such weird weather you’re having but you are totally prepared for it! Cent Plis is so amazing!



I have the original edition but most admit that the hem on this one takes it to another level



What a wonderful post! A fabulous carnival of the animals en parade!



Love all three… Great knot on ZP!


Fabulous! This is a glorious CW! Such a happy scarf!



Perfect example for the week… Love this design so much!
Thank you, dear fifi.
Thank you, @HermesEchidna for such a wonderful intro and all your perspectives on the theme…

I had a lot going on towards the end of last week and had to go MIA here, but wish to thank everyone for all the lovely comments and likes on my posts…

Regarding this week’s theme, I must admit that my brain immediately shuts down at the mere mention of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, but I will attempt to contribute beginning with one of the most obvious examples… Le Laboratoire du Temps

Continuing with Bonnes Vibrations which was inspired by the acoustic Chladni figures. From the Hermès catalog: “In the eighteenth century, German physicist Ernst Chladni Florend Friedrich, creator of a musical instrument named the Euphone and author of an acoustic treaty, undertook a singular experiment. He took a copper disk, sprinkled it with sand and rubbed the edges using a bow. The vibrations made this a musical instrument and the sound was accompanied by a surprising reaction: the sand was organized in geometric figures, creating art. They were named acoustic Chladni figures.”

Index Palmarum was inspired by the pages of the Historia Naturalis Palmarum, a 19th-century treatise on palms by the German botanist, ethnographer and explorer Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius.

Thanks, fifi. I am fascinated by the story behind Bonnes Vibrations. I would never have thought anything like that glancing at the design. Fascinating and lovely on you.
Great post @HermesEchidna with terrific examples! So happy you found your Pytheas, I hope to become your sister this year. :girlsigh:

Good call @violetkool, baking is science! I love your adorable La Patisserie gav. Too cute!


Such a stunning neutral look @Croisette7. I hadn't really paid attention to Echec au Roi before so I headed off to Google it. It's a fantastic design and I found that there's a men's rectangle available on the US site that looks really fun.


Fabulous post @Nomad! Really, wow. I am a huge fan of the origami scarves and I love seeing your examples. The pride and obvious love you have for your son comes through and it warms my heart. :heart:


Well hello again twin! :ghi5:

I'm with you @lanit - I'm going to really try and explore my collection this year and be very focused and deliberate with purchases. I thoroughly enjoyed your post, and then almost fainted dead away when I saw your Ecume. It's a scarf that has been on my grail list a while. Some day I'll find one that fits my budget, until then I'll admire yours. :girlsigh: I'm happy to be your Space Derby sister!


You are on fire today @Pirula! Gorgeous scarves, gorgeous smile and pics - and love the Fifi bonus! :heart:


Oh wow, I've never seen or head of Catalogue d'Objets Introuvables before! It's so cool @xincinsin! Off to Google I go........ :dothewave:

Just gorgeous @Awillow, love the blue! Stay warm. :smile:


I absolutely love this design @ninakt. I saw it about a year ago on a reseller's site for a song, and have kicked myself repeatedly for not picking it up. I'll just have to drool over yours for now. :drool:


I love the way this looks tied @FizzyWater, it's really great. Such a versatile scarf! I read and enjoyed Tulipomania! :ghi5:

Great post @Redbirdhermes!!! :tup:

We are Le Jaguar et Le Colibri sisters @LeneCPH. Your colorway is DIVINE! :girlsigh:


Well done @scarf1! I just adore this scarf, it looks lovely with your cardi! :heart:

Congratulations on the citation @EtsyBoss! :clap: I loved this post - so informative. Now I need to go through my scarf drawer and see what primates I can find....


:lol: Great post @Snausages and perfect examples!


Well done @SilkCouture! I'm so impressed! :ghi5:


Great choice for the theme @Jereni! :tup:
Thanks, MabelJo ❤
Let us blow some steam off and get moving! Today it is all about machines and transportation. And STEM is only an addition of Art away from being STEAM!

The use of steam as a source of power in the years around 1800 changed both production and tranportation. Steam engines powered large factories, and thus modern Industry, with all it’s flaws and benefits, was the foundation for fast and large scale transportation on land and sea. Trains and steam boats changed the communication and connections and Exchange of people and products all over the world.

This development is celebrated in Philippe Ledoux’ Le Merveilles de la Vapeur with an assortment of steam engines, locomotives etc. This is a special edition with the name of the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Assurance Company in the middle instead of the name of the design. There are two article on the Carre de Paris blog about the investors and machines mentioned on the scarf, which I recommend.

Philippe Ledoux: Les Merveilles de la Vapeur

View attachment 5930929
But of course transport is so much more than steamers and train tracks. Several designs have wonderful nautic motives of other kinds of ships and boats - this one even claiming to have all the ships in the world (some of us probably looks more at the border wildlife, but well…)
Aline Honore: Tous le bateaux du monde.

View attachment 5930934

But let us also see everything with cars, bikes, busses etc - and if we include coaches and carriages the examples are almost limitless!

And of course we also need to look up. Even though space travel has already been mentioned this week, we have the good Old airplanes, airships and balloons - @Jereni and others in here have already modelled great designs with airplanes etc, and here is my historic example ( I Think one of you might already also have postet it, but I forgot who - forgive me)

The Technology of transportation is everywhere in Our scarves, and I look so much forward to see all the great examples I know you have in ye olde scarf drawer!

Have a great day!
HE - you are killing it with your creative, thoughtful introduction and posts. Reading this here on Saturday, I am lamenting my missed opportunities. Fabulous job, hosting!
 
Bunny, this is my favorite cw of Vinci. It suits you so well. ❤

Croisette, you are unfailingly elegant. #goals. :girlsigh:

Jereni, this is a gorgeous tresors on you! I am glad this beauty found her way home to you. It was meant to be.

What a wonderful post. Nothing but a Dreamer is one of my favorite 100s. There is so much in it, and the blues are wonderful.

Agrume, what a great story behind your Offrandes. I think @Cookiefiend has this elusive colorway as well? The most elevated version of this scarf, I think. Love!

Nomad, the pink on that triples is one of the best pinks, I think. Lovely on you. And I love the nerding out on origami and fractals. Yikes. I was deluded thinking I was going to major in math and poli sci when I entered college. Calc 2 freshman year and it was humanities, baby! Love cocottes too - it is a great design.
Thank you so much, dear Awillow!

Happy Saturday Scarflandia! I am traveling/babysitting this next week so my SOTDs may be a bit haphazard and sporadic. This morning my three year old granddaughter was up early and helped me select her favorite horse scarf from a file of archive pics. Later we will bundle up and greet the snow that accumulated here last night. She has not yet begun riding lessons (though she loved the experience of a pony ride!) but she very much enjoys her mother's Breyer horse collection (some of which used to be my own!) so this is a fitting choice: Chevaux de la Collection, men's 100 CS.

View attachment 5933809
Thank you kindly. Your Chevaux is so beautifully knotted. Enjoy time with your granddaughter!
 
Dog breeds! Totally on topic!!!
And stunning colors! - always on topic as well :smile:
Haha, I love that we think alike because I thought ‘maybe I can link it to dog breeding’ but then deemed that a bit too much of a stretch to STEM. However, with your blessing I will gladly accept!
Thank you, Maedi!

Gorgeous on you, GloWWorM!
Thank you, dear @Croisette7.

I am catching up with all the lovely posts this week on this frigid morning. Thanks to everyone for all the beauties post here! And thanks to @HermesEchidna for a fabulous intro!

I love the blues and greens in this. Stunning!

Thabks, cookie! I got so, so very lucky to turn this up. I am in love!

Thanks, lkb. Someday I will find a marwari, I am sure. I love the jewel tones in so many of the colorways.

Lkb, Petit Duc is one of my favorites. I hadn't seen this one. Very pretty! I have a certain fondness for the 140 summer silks. I am looking for the right blue one to fill a hole in my collection. And Mardi Gras! Someday I hope to be in Nola for that. Your fascinator is fabulous.
Thank you, @Awillow. I love that the blue has a watercolour effect.

STEM week has been so fun! I am traveling up to NYC for the weekend and due to the weather am not planning to be able to show off many 90 silks. So I will end the week with the CSGM that has come with me, Douze Leopards.

On theme because of the travel-dreaming leopard, as @HermesEchidna pointed out early on this week!
Definitely better to be bundled up for NYC. The content leopard will keep you snug this weekend!

@momasaurus Yes, it is a bushbaby (also called a galago in Africa). They are not lemurs but a type if primate known as a prosimian, so not really monkeys either, just like lemurs are their own category and are also prosimians but not really monkeys. They are all primates though - characterized by forward facing eyes for binocular vision to enable leaping through trees accurately, or in the case of chimps, humans, and baboons - capable of being skilled predators. Many prosimians eat insects and the binocular visions helps them catch / grab them. Primates also have nails instead of claws. Lemurs live exclusively on the island of Madagascar and no other primates live there (except humans). Bushbabies live in sub-Saharan mainland Africa and are nocturnal, thus their enormous eyes for enhanced light gathering capabilities.
Etsyboss, thanks for the wonderful primer on primates. I will appreciate them on my scarves all the more. Thanks to you!
Good afternoon sweet scarfies!

Woefully behind, but will try to at least catch up!
Currently in Georgia, where it is sunny but chilly and - sadly - I am feeling puny. :crybaby:

Cookie, I love your Colibri! Hope you feel better. ❤
Oh my! Please stay safe! Wonderful examples… I’ve been very intrigued by that CW of Planifleurs… It is fabulous!


Great post! These are all great and very inspiring to “move along” with the theme!





What awesome posts! I always either learn something new or see something new when I see them…And now I suddenly need a Glitch… It ties like a dream!



The perfect winter shawl


A masterpiece!



What a treasure it is! And, I can think of no one better to own this beauty… The colors are amazing



Love these colors! And beautiful patterns, too


I think that various shades of green, including chartreuse suit you so beautifully! This is a gorgeous silk



Please take care and feel better soon! This shawl is mind-blowingly beautiful


Please take care and feel better soon!



OMG that is frightening! I see that your contact with skeletons is more of the silky kind now… LOL


Always love to see you wear this one… Gorgeous!


Love this design in this format and this CW is spectacular


Gaaah! Magnificent! Love this knot!
Thanks, fifi!
Hi, scarf friends! I am wearing La Promenade de Platon today. Plato contributed to many key mathematical hypotheses.

Anna, this is a beauty on you!
Cartography is the study and practice of making and using maps. Cartography combines science, aesthetics, and technique to build on the premise that reality (or an imagined reality) can be modeled in ways that communicate spatial information effectively. (Thanks Wikipedia).

My scarf of the day is Planifleurs. I particularly love this scarf because it reminds me of wonderful trips I've taken both in the US and abroad. When I travel for work or with DH, I almost always plan trips around gardens to visit, even in the winter. I think Christine Henry did a great job charting her planisphere and bringing her aesthetic to this fabulous map!

:hysteric:I didn't do this lovely scarf any favors today with my choice of top, but my first Zoom call was at 6am, so I was proud of myself for getting up and getting dressed. Now that I think about it, I can tie this scarf in to my early call today since I spoke with colleagues from Japan, India, Ireland, and the US!

MabelJo, I am your twin but didn't make this comnection for this week. Brilliant! I thought this was the best cw of this scarf. It broke my boutique purchsing drought.

Thank you, fifi!

Many thanks, Maedi ... my winter fav.

Thank you, Nomad!

Thank you, LKB!

Very sophisticated, Awillow!

As others have said…a stunner with the blazer. Scarf is so beautiful!

An amazing bold cw! Showing the strength of NO to fight back against the damage from Katrina

Oooo these colors are chefs kiss on you. WOW!

Mind blown. Thank you!

As others have said..brilliant on the striped top! Inspiring. This is one of the many reasons why I love this thread. Get so inspired

It TOTALLY works! Gorg

Hope you feel better soon. It’s tough out there this winter. So many sick. And you are so clever!

No more late night indeed haha. And beautiful scarves

Love the entire look! Perfection! I realized something on my last boutique trip. I can NOT follow in some of your amazing colors. I wlll have to just be smitten seeing these looks on you :love: . But so glad I can steal some colors from your wheelhouse :blush:

Ooooo I love this! Great choice!

Stunner alert stunner alert! I stopped in tracks when scrolling. Congratulations on this beauty

So happy to be twins in several. Your azulejos look is a knock out!! That top is totally your color w pulling your hair highlights. Beautiful

This was another one that stopped me in my tracks. These colors are stunning on you!! As Jereni said these jewel tones are perfection on you.

Yes! It is totally neat the ring continues the design. So cool! And great idea to pull those colors w your tops. Inspiring

Ummm how did you do the colors??

Brilliant. Thanks for the help w theme and to Wikipedia ;) . I ditto all your thoughts on travel with this one and other map scarves

Spectacular post!! Wow. Just wow. I can’t even comment because I don’t know where to begin with all I love about it.,

Love these happy colors.

Beautiful coloration on this lovely soft cw @Nomad!

I hope that you will soon be feeling as marvelous as you look @Cookiefiend!

Feel better soon @Teaforparrots-- this is a wonderful design and color!

A great story and great choice of silks to illustrate it @mktlim!

Its beautiful on you @Jereni!

Yes and what a marvelous cw you chose @Agrume! It looks wonderful on you-- I hope you are enjoying it!

Stunning Petit Duc @Awillow!

A great array of connections to the theme-- I particularly love your blue Flanerie a Versailles @Living.la.vida.fifi!

Well that is a piece of silk folding magic for sure @labelo! I don't think you could possibly have planned it! Looks great, too.

I think this scarf can do no wrong @MabelJo-- I chose it for the exact same reasons you did. When we were children my mother always sought out gardens on our travels-- at the time we sometimes complained but for all of us the habit took hold on our own travels, as for you...

This is such a delicious cw for this charmer @Croisette7!







Thank you @Croisette7, @bunnycat, @Living.la.vida.fifi, @Jereni, @Maedi and @Mebeljo (and @Nomad-- lost your quote) for your very kind compliments on Jardin de Leila au Bloc! And @textilegirl -- I do in fact have three LE designs which each have particular meaning to the places I live: Battery Park (I lived and worked in NYC for 40+ years); New Orleans Creole Jazz for a city I have a long family connection to and spend winters there, and Salt Marsh, as we live on a salt marsh on Cape Cod Bay! They are special indeed to me. Thank you for the comment.
Thank you, lkb!


Oh, such a great colorway! I'm not a big fan of moths, but this ties beautifully.

On the topic of scientifically-focused students, my mother once went on a college date with a guy. Walking across campus, she looked up at the sky, sighed romantically, and said, "isn't it a lovely night?" At which point he stopped walking, said, "oh my gosh - I'm missing my astronomy lecture!" and ran off, leaving her alone on the quad.

Reader, she married him.

In honor of my destined-nerdiness and the science of astronomy, archive shots of Hemispharium Coeli Boreale and Feux du Ciel:

Thank you @GloWW0rM, @Snausages, @Living.la.vida.fifi, @Cookiefiend, @Croisette7, @Awillow, @Nomad and everyone for likes and loves on my new Turkey Scarf and Au Coin du Feu etc.

I love timepieces and sundials (and have placed one in every garden) but I have never found the cw of this lovely design that worked for me. Congratulations @Redbirdhermes -- this is lovely!@Jereni those pinks are TDF!

Ah, this is so great and looks wonderful in a braid @Snausages!

@FizzyWater -- what a fantastic post-- I love each one and how clever to arrange them by order of the acronym! Your Alternateur is the one cw I am always on the lookout for...

This outfit seems lovely for a solemn occasion that also strives for a bit of celebration. Condolences on the loss of your friend @Karenska.

Congratulations @SilkCouture! Do we know the charitable cause this was issued to support? I am always curious where Hermes collaborates with worthy NGOs and issues...

Beautiful-- glad you can get some rest @Foxy trini -- love seeing the new Animaplois in action and delighted to be twins on both CSGMs!

Oh what a perfect choice @lanit! This was the first shawl I ever purchased from a reseller and I chose it for the exact reasons you mentioned-- it is like strolling around Paris....so many stories told in the street scenes!

Very lovely @Jereni-- congratulations on the perfect Super H! So happy you found your grail...nothing better than grail mail!

These colors are gorgeous on you @bunnycat. And such a cool design to have!

These are so beautiful but mega congratulations on your new Jaguar-- it is just fabulous. Love also your Tous les Bateaux CSGM-- so elegant @Living.la.vida.fifi.

A great choice @MabelJo-- I love this one too!

Another great post to close out the week! Congratulations on a marvelous hosting job @HermesEchidna-- it was so much fun and so informative as well! I love your closing choices -- including the rarity-- and your Coq d'Or is a wonder! I think all of Scarflandia would welcome you back as Guest Scarf Mistresss anytime! :flowers: :flowers: :heart:

Well, you should wear this at every opportunity @GloWW0rM -- it is fantastic on you!
Thank you LKB!

Happy Saturday Scarflandia! I am traveling/babysitting this next week so my SOTDs may be a bit haphazard and sporadic. This morning my three year old granddaughter was up early and helped me select her favorite horse scarf from a file of archive pics. Later we will bundle up and greet the snow that accumulated here last night. She has not yet begun riding lessons (though she loved the experience of a pony ride!) but she very much enjoys her mother's Breyer horse collection (some of which used to be my own!) so this is a fitting choice: Chevaux de la Collection, men's 100 CS.

Hi,
Just got my “Hermès Story” Limited Edition scarf in 21_Rose / Bleu Glacier / Beige. It pays homage to the selfie stick, capturing Wayne Fromm’s brilliant innovation that has become such a staple in our social media-driven world. Loving how it represents the evolving blend of technology and fashion. Jonathan Burton and Hermès have really outdone themselves with this piece. It’s so fitting for our STEM theme celebration this week!

Wow, I love the colours on this charity scarf. Great find!
Popping in - back home after a quick but tiring work trip to San Francisco as I had red eyes each direction. I need to catch up on all of the posts! My SOTDs were acte iii, scene I, la selle imaginaire and animapolis. I copied @Redbirdhermes and had a two scarf day. Wore la selle outdoors with my coat but underneath wore the animapolis for my meetings etc. Tied it so that the Jaguar could be snuggled up by my neck. Happy Friday all - I’m gonna get my zzzzs while it keeps snowing here.
I feel like I’ve travelled with you on yohr whirlwind trip. I love your Acte III - I must find one. You look gorgeous in every photo.

Thanks so much @MabelJo @Snausages and @Leilabelle. Thanks everyone for the thumbs up on H en Fil. The crystals are so tiny that I’m not afraid to lose them really. More concerned about snagging in things tbh.

Being an architectural buff I could not resist A l’Ombre des Boulevards. The b/w leaped into my hands as soon as it was released. Love the little vignettes and street scenes. Positively transports me when I study the activities going on. Happy weekend !

The detailed scenes are special. I’ve been maximising it to pore over your photo. Thanks for sharing it!

I had heart palpitations just reading this lol!!!



Hahaha I hope it is warm there also. I was bundled up in a CSGM today and wanting to add like 5 more on top of it but I don’t own that many. Cue: searching for more shawls and OF COURSE found a grail shawl I haven’t been seeing literally since I started searching almost a year ago. Sigh.
Ohhh what is it? What is it?

LOL. So true. I am allowing myself like 3 more before packing the boat so now it’s a question of which 3…
Haha 3 more. I am laughing aloud. Maybe I can squeeze in a few more before you pack the boat then.

I had grail mail this week! This is one that gives me hope that eventually all my grails could be mine. I hadn’t seen this Minuit au Faubourg anywhere ever, and was figuring it may never show up on the after market. Thanks very much to @SilkCouture for giving me a heads up on it!!!

I did think this was a 70, and if so I’d love it even more, but at any rate, my perfect cw of MaF!

Stunning. I love the orange and purple. Maybe you could try a mors ring or chaine d’encre to help extend the scarf and show more of the design?

My SOTD is warm and cozy. Either I am off topic with Awooo or on topic when we look at nature as the origin of all STEM related fields.

Incredible designs! Congratulations on your Jaguar - a very worthy addition. I’m still on the hunt for this cw.

Thank you @HermesEchidna for the fantastic job you've done hosting STEM week. It's been such a wonderful week of your inspiring posts, educational posts, gorgeous mod shots, and everyone's kind and thoughtful comments. Well done! :ghi5:

Happy Friday Scarfies!

Horsepower (hp) is a unit of measurement of power, or the rate at which work is done, usually in reference to the output of engines or motors. The term was adopted in the late 18th century by Scottish engineer James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with the power of draft horses. It was later expanded to include the output power of other types of piston engines, as well as turbines, electric motors and other machinery.

A common legend states that the unit was created when one of Watt's first customers, a brewer, specifically demanded an engine that would match a horse, and chose the strongest horse he had, driving it to the limit. In that legend, Watt accepted the challenge and built a machine that was actually even stronger than the figure achieved by the brewer, and the output of that machine became the horsepower. (Thanks Wikipedia!)

Les Artisans d'Hermes is my SOTD. I'm enamored with the exquisite expression of the horse's face and now I'm wondering how much horsepower this horse-motorcycle-hybrid-badass has?

Have a wonderful weekend! :party:
I keep looking at this design on the second hand market because of its intricate drawings. Wonderful on you!

Now that the storm is over and temps are rising above freezing level, I can play with my scarves a bit more.

My SOTD for STEM week is the marvelous Eiffel Tower!

What a darling design! Perfect on you and for this week.

I have always loved arrrrrgh, snausages. I have usually seen it and green and blue. Your gray looks lovely on you.
Today I'm again following the lead of our intrepid guest scarf mistress and chose a scarf that reflects biodiversity. The Gardens of Sintra in Portugal have plant species from all over the world, and they are organized by geographic areas according to their origins.

My scarf of the day is Jardin a Sintra. Many thanks to @HermesEchidna for her amazing leadership this week.

View attachment 5932749
Redbird, I have always admired Sintra, but I have never seen a photo of the place itself. Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Yippeee!!! I finally have a scarf twin on this beauty!!! :ghi5:
You lead me down the garden path, bunny!
Dreamy, Awillow!
Thank you, croisette.
These are all gorgeous @Living.la.vida.fifi and that VL slays me every time!

@Cookiefiend that looks marvelous on stripes AND on solids!

@Redbirdhermes beautiful foliage on the scarf and in the background

Delicious moussie @Awillow

SOTD is Grande Théâtre Nouveau…. This would have been a better fit for the ‘architecture day’ but ah well. Also, brrrr!!!

Thanks, snausages!
A chemical engineer by training, my background is in oil & gas exploitation. The scarf is Geologie & contains various fossils of shells including an ammonite as the centre motif. This scarf was a grail of mine and took almost 10 years to track down. A reseller in my city found one but not in my preferred cw so we couldn't agree on a price - and she really wanted to keep it for herself since HER husband was a geologist (with vanity plates that said as such on their SUV - LOL). The condition of the 1st cw was listed as "good" & it had spots & pulls - but never-the-less I scooped it up. The 2nd one was pristine and had been issued for the 1980 Geological Congress in Paris.

10 years! You are making me feel better about my borderline obsessive 18-month search. :facepalm: These are fabulous. I love it when scarves have a special resonance.
I love this color combo. So elegant. And it is a very elegant scarf in general!

Another wonderful post! I do so like Azulejos. And that Versailles is stunning!

Oh we are twins on this (I actually have it in two colorways, plus a silk 90). I really enjoy this scarf and the message behind it.

Amazing on you.

Wow — what a stunning photo of the garden. You look great with this colorway.

Ohhhhhhh I have never seen this cw before. Very cool.

Such wonderful colors, and your outfits is perfect for it.

Thank you for sharing these less commonly seen scarves. They are true treasures.

I am glad you were able to track these down. They look wonderful on you.

The scarf is great, but the necklace is just fabulous!

I have a cold and feel iffy. So here are two no-makeup-(except for lipstick in one case)-feeling miserable photos. The Crystals one is on topic, the La Rosee is just because I love the design.View attachment 5932804View attachment 5932805
Thanks, Anna. You look beautiful in these. Hope you feel better!

Coming in under the wire on the bio-diversity sub-theme of today! But just by coincidence I had recent scarf-friend mail so I am delighted to debut my new-to-me Fauna et Flore du Texas. I think the "turkey scarf" needs no introduction but here's its description: designed by Kermit Oliver, this scarf depicts the local flora and fauna of Texas. In the middle of the scarf is a large turkey surrounded in a circle by cactus leaves with animals interspersed. In each corner is a small circle, like a stylized nest, with different animals seen in their natural habits. (National Museum of African American Art and Culture). A very gobbledy thanks to @Snausages for serving this up to me... Plus this turkey dinner comes with a side of local bio-diversity: two deer imitating lawn statues in our front yard in early morning, wetlands and bay right behind them...

Twins, lkb! I love this! It was my very first grail. That turquoise hem blew my mind!
Lovely! This cw goes with so many colors, it’s perfect on this pretty raspberry pink!

Gorrrrgggeous!! :faint:

Thank you sweetheart!

Thanks cutie - it is very versatile!

Wowwww - I love this on your pink sweater!

Fantastic! I love DesCSleC - the design is just spectacular.

Awesome that you found the SE! I love this soft green cw.

Fantastic look - the necklace is gorgeous!

I can’t like this post enough - I adore birds… also every time I see this design, I wonder why I don’t have one. :doh:
Off to look!

Well girl - you look beautiful! I also love La Rosee!
I hope you’re feeling better! :hugs:

Oooo good one and a beautiful scarf!

Thank you so much sweetheart!
I am definitely improving, thank you for asking! :hugs:

Congratulations - it’s gorgeous!
Love seeing the deer too - we’ve seen several lately… making me kinda glad Coco is at home… I love her but she barks a lot. Like a lot a lot!
Thanks, cookie!

Dear all

First of all: I am so Sorry I have only been able to comment infrequently and a bit random to all your lovely posts, pictures and Stories on birds, astronomy, steam engines - and love of nerds!
I hope you will forgive me for mainly using the emoji reactions today as well, as it is the busy end of a busy week.

Second: Well, STEM is science, technology, Engineering and mathematics. A collection of subjects often hailed as the most important to learn for Young and adult alike in order to solve many of the challenges in the world.

Stem is often associated with pale genius western men in labcoats, intricate machinery, great thoughts about the connections between all things, and how to make thing better, faster, bigger. But through history technology and knowledge about the world has been so much more.

Today is about overlooked technology - the ingenious ways of understanding the world and to find creative ways to live in it, by groups of people who are not usually included in the Grand narratives of science and technology - often women, servants and indigenous people.

We should not forget that after the earliest technology og stone tools and fire, soon also came basket weaving, pottery and textile production. Without these technologies; no storage, agriculture or dairy products, nor cloths for sails, tents, garments, flags, tapestries etc etc.

Behind every army were women and servants weaving the uniforms and behind every philosophic greek symposium were enslaved humans making the togas, amphoras and the Wine in them.
The technology of textiles have in recent years been acknowledged as a major leap in history, and a leap mainly being made by women. We Scarflandians all love our textiles, and several designs show the techniques behind their production. @Teaforparrots and others have already hinted at fabric as a tech product and I agree!
My two examples also highlight that not only women’s technologies but also indigenous technology and knowledge has a place in history of stem - two examples of weaving is l’Art Indiens des plaines and Masan et masan.

Monday we had Scientific expeditions as a theme. Arctic exploration were not succesfuld before traditional inuit technology of dogsledding, kayaking and other ways to survive in the Arctic were employed by explorers. Not a surprise to anybody in here, that I love my Arctic scarves - with both dogsleds, boats and other survival equipment.

Methods and techonologies related to cooking and especially conservation of foodstuff have also been extremely important - the industrial productions and Scientific discoveries, like Pasteur’s, are the best known, but let us also celebrate all the cooks, housewifes, kitchenmaids and peasants who have fermented, pickled, brewed, baked, bottled, potted, smoked and salted in order to preserve food, but also to create all the gastronomical specialities we enjoy. A glas of jam, a hardtack and a tin of beans are techonological marvels as are steam engines - as least to me.

So please bring out designs celebrating the domestic, the indigenous, the everyday and forgotten stem!

Happy Saturday Scarflandia! I am traveling/babysitting this next week so my SOTDs may be a bit haphazard and sporadic. This morning my three year old granddaughter was up early and helped me select her favorite horse scarf from a file of archive pics. Later we will bundle up and greet the snow that accumulated here last night. She has not yet begun riding lessons (though she loved the experience of a pony ride!) but she very much enjoys her mother's Breyer horse collection (some of which used to be my own!) so this is a fitting choice: Chevaux de la Collection, men's 100 CS.
