How festive and special in jewelry colors.

This morning I chose RED - the ultimate power color. It's a biological indicator of health, fertility, and virility. It's associated with blood, and guts, and glory. It can be scary. Intimidating.

I was drawn to it today probably because I have been watching the Handmaid's Tale series on Hulu. The handmaids wear red from neck to ankle, probably to symbolize their fertility. They are forced to be resilient to survive. It dawned on me this morning, if Gilead didn't want the handmaids to rebel ultimately, why did they make them wear red? Pink would have sufficed. Hahaha. I'm glad Margaret Atwood gave them red. There's hope there.

So today I pulled out one of my very first CSGMs - Patchwork Horse - which has a really wonderful overall red vibe. I started the day at 4:45am with some long-wished for quiet time to do some journaling, followed by shawl repair, some work, then a hair cut. I took myself out for a lunch alone (highly recommend that on occassion!) wolfed down some very healthy protein and fruit, then had a massage.

While waiting I was able to finish a chapter in another very good read by Margaret Atwood - The Penelopiad.
I find strength in hearing about the stories of women who have persevered. Ofred / June and Penelope are heroes.

How wonderful your day sounds @EtsyBoss ! Patchwork ties so beautifully and your cw is just 🤩!

As those of us in the states know - today is tax day and we did knot get good news from the CPA.
What’s a Scarfie to do? Well - this one washed a scarf. A new to me scarf (yes I had scarf mail - I finally succumbed to the siren call from last week), last week was too tempting!

As I was ironing it, I thought of my grandmother and my mother - two strong women who faced adversity. They would both love this scarf. They both love birds and so do I!
But I do have a point here - so onward Cookie!

The dandelion - the bane of many a gardener - pops its cheery yellow mane everywhere. It will grow wherever its seeds land, and it doesn’t care if you spray it with chemicals - it will just pop back up right next to where it was.
It’s determined to survive. IT knows that it might be the first flower a child picks to give to its mum, in all of its happy yellow glory. It’s seeds are grown in fabulous puffs that float right off after being enthusiastically blown by a child (or me). And you can even eat the greens or make dandelion wine!

So here’s to the strong resilient dandelion!
And birds!

A very special design and beautiful analogy.

Ooof - sorry about the knot good tax news. Your new Vie au Grand Air is lovely though as is the thought you’ve put into this post. Dandelions are indeed resilient (much to the detriment of my lawn 🤣). And here’s to three generations of strong women, who all love birds 💛🌼

Here too, even though the weather here is dismal. Bugs are very resilient too!

I found a couple of pictures like yours showing the large glasses and shoulder pads - I think in this first picture both my cardi and the blouse underneath had shoulder pads - I coulda been a linebacker!

OMG I love these! Double shoulder pads?! You were fierce!

What scarves do you turn to when you want to channel an intrepid spirit, stimulate curiosity and resilience, or feel brave?

My go to scarf for resilience is Parures de Samurais, 90. I think I may have mentioned before but, it was the scarf I got in 2017 just after my Mohs' surgery for melanoma. I always made sure to tie in such a way that the new scar on my neck was well protected. Here is it from the archives:

Thank you for lovely comments, Maedi, Croisette, Cookie, Jereni, Lellabelle and EtsyBoss 🥰🙌. Jereni you made me laugh out loud w your ‘mother of grails’ comment. 😂😍
I’ve been managing late work hours and these power scarves are helping.
Today is ELeK, new scarf mail from a few weeks ago and a nice new member of my Elek family: happy to be twins w many of you. Now, if I could only do that knot that Jereni does so nicely 🤔.

Etsy, that red is stunning on you!
It’s great that you took such a good care of yourself! What a fun day🌷🌷🌷Thanks for sharing MA book details. I haven’t read the Penelopiad and The Handmaid’s Take book was quite a read and so hard to process!! Intense!!
Yes to strong women and perseverance 🤔
Your bag is to die for! 🤓😁❤️

 

[Lellabelle]

Love it. What a good-looking mama. Glasses, shoulder pads, and even the little diamond studs in the first picture. You can just make them out in one of my photos as well.

I have a pair of those studs too .

What a fabulous way to protect your neck - you must have been the most stylish patient ever. I hope your Samourais gave you strength when you needed it, and that it continues to do so.
The Dior is lovely, and it’s a super match for that gorgeous black pearl!

A quick stop to post my SOTD. I think this might qualify as a power scarf. Lettres Equestres CGSM in Vermillion. Inaugural wearing. Will come back later to see everyone’s posts.

Yes! Vermillion is a definite power colour and this is an attention grabbing scarf in the best way! Inspired pairing with the stripes, too.

Great post @EtsyBoss and yes - red is also a colour of rebellion! Thank you for highlighting this - I love your interpretation and hope that this was intentional. The resilience and strength of the characters, their ability to endure and overcome, is the most redeeming part of the book. The messaging feels awfully current and there are lessons here that bear re-examining.

Your patchwork horse perfectly embodies rebellious red. Navy and red is such a sophisticated combination and the scale works so well with the balance of fine detail and larger graphic elements. Love the little JL too (twin)!

 

[Lellabelle]

You look amazing in hot pink, Lellabelle!

Thank you kindly, dear @Croisette7. For years, I didn’t wear pink, as I didn’t think it suited me. Funnily enough, the exception was an entire suit in this same shocking pink colour (I was quite young at the time), which had matching suede cowboy boots! Thankfully, there is no photographic evidence of this head-to-toe-hot-pink-explosion (with big 80’s hair no less)! 🤣

Amazing! This is a powerful scarf for sure. Glad to hear it’s giving you a boost of energy when it’s needed. There’s enough colour here to raise anyone up.

Working too many hours here also - putting together a nice outfit with a strong scarf helps me feel a little more in control of the day. Hoping things get back into balance for you soon.
