Chag Pesach Sameach to all of my friends here observing the Passover holy days. Sending love. 🕊️☀️🫂🙏
Glorious. When I saw this online I had to have it, ❤️ at first sight, so happy to be your twin. In the meantime, comparing it to your Livre d'Esope, do you still find that these 2 are quite different, I mean when wearing? I'm asking because I consider to buy the cw you have, IF it ever makes an appearance here. 😆
Congratulations on acquiring this beautiful design, CWW, and sharing your exciting and poignant adventure. I love how our scarves reflect the deeply personal things in life that make us us. I would love to get to those islands someday! Perhaps that little brown creature is a beaver?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)View attachment 6156803View attachment 6156799
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. View attachment 6156800View attachment 6156801View attachment 6156802
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.

@Lellabelle, although I am pages behind and not following this week, thank you for hosting a delightful theme week. Both of your looks are fantastic, especially the black pairing. Elegant, polished and lovely.
Today 2 scarves without me as I don't think I will slip out of my pyjamas. 🤧 As @Lellabelle said, jackets can make a whole lot of difference. You are always"dressed" and sometimes I need that, e.g. when I want to visit the Zurich H store.😊 I adore pinstripe. During my life I have worn many of those, suits with skirts or trousers or jackets alone, in different combinations of colour and material and when I was very young, vintage. I prefer light wool and in summer linnen. I still have 3 jackets and here are 2, the black one with Brazil (detail) and the navy one with Au dela des 5 Mers. Pinstripe can also be quite "rock", if you remember Bob Geldoff... 😆
What a great story, RBH, and a great accomplishment to be able to fly a plane. I love the photo of you and your daughter with that tiny aircraft. You are indeed an Hermès woman and you look gorgeous in your WOW scarf. What a flattering cw for you.
Oh, that little face
. Sweet, so sweet. That cw of CdC is my favorite. It is perfect with your quilted jacket. Thank you for a fun week that I could barely participate in but you were a wonderful leader on our journey to find many interesting creatures. 🦜🦢🐛🐞🐐🐒🐅
The #1 scarf I always think of first when I think ‘power scarf’ is this Pantin City. It’s modern and urban design, this edgy colorway - it’s easily the most masculine, ‘boardroom’ scarf I own. It also looks killer with a blazer, in terms of @Lellabelle ‘s sub-theme, although I’m not wearing it with one today.
Happy Friday!

When I was a working woman, I loved my polished wool and silk suits and silk blouses, paired with scarves and jewelry and heels. Or a tucked in sweater with a pencil skirt and belt. Pantsuits, too. Here are some modern but classic looks that I love:
The white blouse!
Here is a recent photo with Savana Dance moussie for a somber event:
Of course, my dressing is much more casual now that I am retired but how a scarf is tied can convey how “structured” one’s casual can be.

And SOY, Les Mustangs bandana with my beautiful Wedgwood brooch showing Pegasus and Bellerophon, a delightful find at a church bazaar in Betys y Coed, Wales.

Thank you, @Croisette7, I think it is, too. I believe it came from @Yoon daily scarf a few years ago but I am not sure. I will try and find it for you. It might take a bit.

"One if by land, Two if by sea." 250 years ago tonight Paul Revere rode to warn the Sons of Liberty of the approach of British troops.
I decided to introduce my new-to-me grail with its magnificent horse today in honor of this famous ride.
Introducing Hippopolis as my power scarf of the day.

Wow, congratulations, such a gorgeous and powerful colourway 🤩
Beautiful scarves and I love those more formal looks 😍 I should make more effort really, I usually can’t be bothered and we dress rather casually in Belgium… I don’t even own a blazer 🫣
