Wow! That Robinson is just wow!! And so glad you got your turtles. It’s even better it’s a cottonI live on a little island, so maybe that's why I buy scarves about islands? Nah, totally fake news
It is true though that in 2024, I found two island scarves that were on my grail list for a few years. Not important enough for me to really go on the hunt, but would totally nab if I found it.
So here are my two grails which tie for the Island Girl Award!

For scarfies who have been part of this thread for a few years, you may recall a theme we did called Robinson Variation, which invited you to do your own riff on the scarf design Le Robinson Chic. It was a lot of fun and so, when I discovered H had another design about Mr Crusoe, I was raring to get it - at a price that wouldn't send me to the poorhouse.
I finally found it and love it! Vintage, a bit worn, but mine, mine, mine!

Ahem, after that bout of elation, I found my second island grail. A long time ago, I saw a swirly design on the bay, and thought, huh, graphic dots. Then quite some time later, I clicked on the close-ups and discovered cute turtles! I didn't BIN it because I bought something else and ran out of pin money. When I went back, it was gone. All I could recall was turtles and island. So I ran searches now and then, and never found anything (except De Madras a Zakynthos, but that's a tale for another day).
I thought it was a 90 in silk. And wondered why I could never find anything about it. Then one day, I was wandering in the wilderness that is a reseller site where everything is priced super high and there it was! Cotton! And bundled with 3 other cotton scarves that I didn't needNone of the scarf names was mentioned in the listing, so my search would not have found it. And the shipping cost was Riiiiidiculous!
I suppose I should thank AII exited and soon received an email reminding me that I had shown interest in something and offering me free shipping. I thought about how much I wanted that scarf, how long I had searched, did my H maths, then put in an offer. The rest is history.

And those pesky cutesey turtles that drew me in.

Thank you, dear Croisette! You inspired me, and frankly, this is such a gorgeous design for CSGM - it has so much volume and movement and the shadings on the horses are just fab!
It looks absolutely fab on you and it is so heartwarming when our dreams come true!My 2024 Oscarf for the Heart Warming Scarf/Shawl goes to Tulipomanie GT. The shawl itself ticked all the boxes for me and I wanted so much to be able to get it. And now this beauty feels just wonderful to wear, each time. However, what makes it so much more special to me is that it always reminds of the kindness of lovely, generous forum Members who reached out to me to help me get itYou are the best, thank you

I agree with your DH! So nice, even I bought it twice - It’s fantastic!Thank you @papertiger and @xincinsin! My Oscarf today goes to a design that seems to have been a "box office hit" in Scarflandia. When I buy more than one cw, my DH jokes, "A scarf so nice, you bought it twice."

Love - and it’s perfect on red!I purchased only one 90 scarf from last season, and it was Emile et Une Nuit. This makes it an Oscarf winner for me as well. Thank you for the nomination and selection, @LKBNOLA.
Happy 2025 Everyone! Emile et Une Nuit is my scarf of the day.
