Thank you, dear Cookie!oh I love it!! Thank you!
<le sigh> beautiful Karenska!
And it's so nice to *see* you!
Beeeyouteeful blues!
It looks marvelous tied this way!
wow - so many beauties!Oh I love your post @HermesEchidna - you brought out "all the big guns" today. Those are some of my favorite animal scarves. I've been yearning for a Tendresse Feline because of the animals in that one and those two corners in particular. It's so nice to see them in such detail. Tous les Bateaux is another on my dream list.
Here are my sister shots

Gorgeous navy!
Well done - I would love to see one in real life!
awww - well done LKB and pups!
Thank you so much!
Yes - the Lalbai is new to me in February - today is its maiden sighting on TPF - I did wear it in FL - I think.
Things have been so crazy lately - and I did some stress buying (oops) - but I am seeing a light at the end of of the tunnel! Today is the first day my desk hasn't been buried under a pile of paper!
This is spectacular with the texture of your top - wow!
So pretty on you - this is a great look!
It's so good with your sweater and I love the little musical notes above the bird! So cute!
Thanks, HE. I always figured the pink critter was a raccoon, but I've been tripped up by North American vs European animals before. One reason I didn't dare name all the animals on my scarf today.
You look stunning! These are such great colors. And yes the man-donkey is welcome in the critter-club 😊
Ohh you are right!! It is a racoon. It is just me mixing up the names of animals in my non-native english. Apologies!
(And dont ask me about differences between raccoons and raccoon dogs - which in Danish are mårhund - marten dogs - without being neither raccoons, martens or dogs 🤪 - then I would certainly fail again!)
Insects and cute penguins on SOTD EU! Oh and a polar bear.
Thank you so much dear @Cookiefiend! 🥰It looks marvelous tied this way!

Today I am wearing for the first time my Tsitsika 90, and I am over the moon that I was lucky enough to nab this. It is a Kermit Oliver design, and I think I am sisters with @EtsyBoss on this and others, I’m sure.
It is my understanding that the Native Americans/First Nations people depicted here are the Kwakiutl people. Every year DW and I take a trip on our sturdy Canadian-built boat for 2-3 weeks, launching from the San Juan Islands and going up into remote and largely pristine Canadian islands, and coastline, on the Inside of Vancouver Island. A fews year ago we went all the way up to the Broughton Islands and on our way back, we crossed Blackfish Sound (picture breaching Orcas and Humpback whales everywhere) and spent a few days at Alert Bay on Cormorant Island. This island is inhabited by the Kwakiutl People who are part of the larger Kwakwaka’wakw cultural group. There are also some non-native residents living on the island nearby.
When we arrived the village and the docks were bustling because the once-every-4-year run of “red” salmon (otherwise known as Sockeye) was happening just then (!) and they were heading out to catch the village’s allotted share. Over the next days, the fishing boats would come back full, and each residence had a large blue tub sitting in their yard waiting to receive their household share of the prized salmon. Every household was busy with cleaning their fish, smoking it, and mostly canning it because they needed it to last another 4 years - until the next run from the Adams Tributary. As we walked through a neighborhood to view the world’s tallest totem pole at the Big House, an older couple waved us over to their yard, sharing their excitement of the generous haul. They taught us how to clean salmon using a different method than the one we use. They showed us their canning room, their cedar lined smoke shacks and insisted we take a small fresh salmon back to our boat for our dinner that night. (We protested fervently but it became clear we were insulting them - Potlatch principles and all…. ) The woman’s grandfather had been the chief, and we later looked up her name and sure enough, it was so. And you know, it truly was some of the best tasting salmon we had ever had, and that’s saying something because we have consumed a lot of fresh-caught salmon over the years. I rank it in my top four salmon tasting experiences ever.
We met other Kwakiutl people while we were there, some of whom took it upon themselves to educate us on the history of what had been done to them by the European settlers. They also have an incredible cultural center and museum in which you can see many of the costumes and masks shown here on this scarf. It is called the U’mista Cultural Center. And along the waterfront there is an area where there are dozens of family totem poles of various ages.
So here is my Scarf of the Day, which also happens to have many critters on it. Tsitsika aka “The Time When Nothing Is Real”.
I decided to emphasize the marine life but have added a few terrestrial animals as well to the close up photos. You can just make out the orca on the upper part of my tie.
We have a seal and a giant oyster shell (the animals are all rendered in various sizes having nothing to do with actual scale)
A spawning Sockeye salmon, an orca whale, and I especially love this tiny octopus (probably a Giant Pacific Octopus) that I had never noticed before.
There are many other critters on the scarf, so here are a few. I dare not try to name the rodent - maybe a mink as we have a lot of those? And another turtle for @LKBNOLA.
