Popping in to share my new to me Persepolis 90. It’s back from Tiecrafters and so is back in pristine condition. There are a some lovely stylized animals on this one, including fish!
Oh yes! This is the beautiful blanc/rouge cw22 from the 2007 original issue! So wonderful @FA73. You have also the 2014 cw15 mastic/gris bleuté/rouge? There were some very close cws across the two issues... This is lovely in both ties (and you have solved the border issue!). In case you do not have it, here's the Hermes info from 2007:
Suspended between heaven and earth, nestling in the tallest trees of the Equatorial forest, the flora and fauna in this scarf weave in and out like the pieces of a gigantic puzzle. Together, they form a veritable canopy, a burgeoning of vegetation, swarming with extraordinary, little-known plant and animal life. The Au Coeur de la Vie scarf teems with a thousand unfamiliar details of the forest: unusual species of creeping vines, orchids, carnivorous plants, parrots, hummingbirds, small lemurs, insects, chameleons, butterflies … it reflects the infinite diversity, the incredible richness of equatorial life, the energy and imagination of nature. Difficult to reach and still largely unexplored, this milieu is the repository of a thousand vegetal treasures, green gold-mines and hidden secrets, a myriad of unknown living substances, plant cells bursting with the promise of life. It is up to us to protect this biological reservoir in order to understand its mysteries and to learn its lessons of beauty and health. (from Hermesology)
Congratulations on this lovely new acquisition @CedarWaxWing! Love the earrings you are wearing with it too.
I can never get that knot to stay securely with a chaine d’ancre either. I simply tie a knot on that side, instead of using a ring. It does not budge!My SOYE was Mythes et Metamorphoses by Annie Faivre. I saw @Cookiefiend model hers some years ago and fell in love with the design. This one popped up not long after and not having any maroon in my collection I thought I'd try it out. I found the little monkey in it and it's one of hers that is particularly full and well developed, and quite colorful! I don't get the impression she's based her "little monkey" on a specific species but rather a more generic / prototype monkey.

Rhesus macaque comes to mind, the favored species for lab studies, and thus one that is not ever likely to become an endangered species. However, among primates, so many are endangered. Current consensus has about 60% of monkeys and 100% of non-human apes as endangered, with many of them critically endangered, the highest level of conservation concern and most severely at risk of extinction.
There are a few other critters on this scarf. I found one I hadn't noticed before - a koala - an endangered species in Australia as of 2022.

Attempts to use a new scarf ring went so-so and I ended up switching to a different use case because my first tie didn't stay snug with the ring up by my shoulder. If any of you know where I could find a how to on the first one, I'd love that. I'm not sure what step I missed to not fully secure it. Perhaps if I had a parrot to hold it on my shoulder I'd be all set
Thank you so much for the story behind, i did have it but in French, I will paste this version in my file. And yes, I do have the mastic/gris bleuté too, my original "placeholder" that I ended up keeping because, so beautiful, hence breaking one of my rules (isn't that an upcoming SOTD theme?): "no multiples in the same format", particularly because it's a very close cw. Oh well, different enough!
This is so precious with all the succulents.
That’s a cool sight, thank you for sharing. Local honey is healthy and tasty. Your styling of this scarf is so good. We have bees who moved in at the corner of the house. 🐝
Beautiful and mirroring the colors of your backdrop. That’s a great quilted jacket, too.
Thank you, I have been admiring it on you. Looks like it’s unavailable atm.
Thank you so much and your Bateaux with the sea foam sweater is gorgeous.
You’re inspiring me to try mine with blue and try this knot. Thank you and I am glad I kept it.Thank you @Lellabelle on both counts. I am always eyeing the scarf rings...
Answering in two parts @EtsyBoss! This one I showed today is cw 01 (twins with @Maedi). A few more photos in case it helps...

I agree completely with you about the bees and what we can do to prevent the problem. In our case, because we live within fifty yards from protected wetlands, the Conservation Department forbids us to plant anything other than native species. We are also quite particular about not using pesticides that interfere with pollinator habitats. It is one of the ways we try to keep our special corner of the world safe for us and the plants and animals who share the space with us. I love watching the bees in our garden!
Thank you @Cookiefiend! You inspired me with your scarf of yesterday to feature bees today! I love that we are double twins with our Tous les Bateaux, also!!! Your tie today is fantastic. This scarf is front of mine for me today as well because I am packing for a vacation to Turks and Caicos and was looking for a scarf with an iguana/lizard to honor one of their endangered animals, the Rock Iguana. This black one is on my packing list!
The most beautiful center on this lovely green Pytheas @Redbirdhermes!
Sooooo pretty as always @Jereni. This is such a marvelous cw. And thank you by the way: the knot is just the one you tie at the four corners-- not sure what it is called, but I like that it often features a part of a cw we don't always see, like the blues on my Objets.
Good morning!! This is my view as I write this post.First wifi in 14 hours - will catch up on posts later today but here is my critter post of today!
Not everybody like bugs or other invertebrate critters but can we accept them on scarves?
I Think nobody objects to butterflies, like the classic Farandole or the wing on L’esprit de foret ?
And lady bugs can hardly bug us either? But what about crickets, mantis or flies? Or spiders! Do you reject - or embrace a scarf due to it’s insects or spiders?
Les insectes
Are there any scarves with worms, maggots, millipedes, cockroaches or any other bug we may consider unlikeable?
Some invertebrates are contrary to these considered delicious ( though I have tasted quite nice and crispy crickets and fried larvae).
But some invertebrates we really want to eat! The lobsters, oysters, octopus, langusts and shrimps. They are found both as parts of elaborate meals and in their natural environment in the designs.
Gastronomie
Let us be spineless today and celebrate the invertebrates - both the Nice and the no-ways!
And another little critter quiz
To end up in a maritime way as well - a little one from la vie precieuse de la mediteranee:
Wish you a day of smooth waters!
