OMG your collection is exceptional!!!I’m going to give myself an Oscarf for ‘This is crazy but I’m really doing this’ role 🤣🤣 , and you know what I mean. Just going crazy for certain design and going overboard. But only this time, of course.
Right…. I’m actually pretty sure I’m not doing this, this year again. On this level. That’s my new year resolution!!😅😅
But here are those scarves, in 2024, for me Oscarf worthy in all (cw) categories.
5 En Liberté, getting a CSGM after having 4 silks was insane, but it’s so gorgeous!!
5 Animapolis, getting a 140 after already collecting 4 cw’s.
Sous le charme d’Orphee- i was sure I was stopping there after 3 double face silks and then I madly fell in love w blue CSGM.
Thanks for enabling, dear Scarflandia ❤️😍

Happy Sunday🌷🌷🌷
Two purchases from store yesterday - A Vos Crayons et Carre Libre and Effet Kaleidoscope twillys.
I love this cw of Astres too! It would have been my choice if I did not go for the finesse!
today with Flore et Faune du Texas, 70 cm vintage silk
Happy Tuesday! Today's subtheme will be about astronomy and astrology.
One thing I find fascinating about stars is the duality they entice, on one hand, the pursuit of knowledge through science, and on the other, the belief-driven interpretations.
Astronomy is the science, the exploration of the universe through physics and chemistry. The subfield of stellar astronomy looks at the life cycle, structure, and behavior of stars. In ancient times, Babylonians recorded astronomical observations. The earliest report of a solar eclipse is credited to the Chinese. Greek astronomers such as Hipparchus of Nicaea and Ptolemy compiled the first known catalogues of stars as early as the 2nd century BCE. The Renaissance and of course the age of Enlightenment were marked by key milestones: Copernicus's theory in 1543 that the Sun, not the Earth, is at the center of the solar system, Lippershey's telescope, Galileo's observations, Kepler's description of elliptical orbits, and Newton's laws of gravitation. The 18th and 19th centuries saw the discoveries of Uranus, Neptune, and the asteroid belt. The 20th century, Sputnik and the beginning of the space age, Yuri Gagarin, the first human to orbit Earth in 1961, “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" in 1967. And more recently, the first image of a black hole. Fascinating and seemingly boundless. I am looking forward to seeing what other discoveries will be made during my lifetime!
On the other hand, astrology holds that the positions of stars and planets at the time of one’s birth influence personality and destiny, offering meaning and guidance through celestial patterns. The earliest evidence of astrology dates from the 3rd millennium BCE from Mesopotamia. The ideas of Babylonian astrologers spread to Greece and Rome and the 12-part division of the heavens took its name of “zodiac” from the Greek zodiakos (meaning “circle of little animals”).
For centuries, astrology and astronomy were intertwined until the Newton's laws provided a physical explanation for celestial phenomena. Despite its decline as a scientific field, astrology remains one of the oldest human traditions. A 2024 Pew Research Center survey found that 30% of U.S. adults consult astrology, tarot cards, or fortune tellers at least once a year!
I have very little to show for both themes, so I look forward to many of you stepping in and showcasing designs featuring rocket science, spaceships, or Zodiac signs. And if one you collectors extraordinaire has the original 1938 Zodiaque, I would love to see it!
Fantaisies indiennes, depicting the cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma, the first Indian citizen in space (next to an adorned pink elephant, talk about duality!). He flew aboard Soyuz T-11 in 1984 as part of the Soviet Interkosmos program.
And Astrologie, with my sign, Aquarius (although not hardcore, I am a believer !). In Greek mythology, the constellation Aquarius is most commonly associated with Ganymede, a Trojan prince known for his exceptional beauty (what’s not to believe? 😇). Zeus, captivated by Ganymede, abducted him to serve as his cupbearer and to be granted immortality.
Wishing you all a favorable horoscope today! ⭐⭐⭐

I’m not sure I could be more on theme - Au Royaume d’Helios, sun/moon/earth pendant, rocket ship bracelet … my theme offerings for the rest of the week will all be downhill from here lol.
Wow you remembered my Minuit post!!! That must’ve been like what, 9 years ago now?!? Haha. That’s still one of my fave scarves.Happy 4th of July, my friends in the US!
Every country or nation has momentous historical events to celebrate. And I'm sure H has an appropriate scarf or scarves for such occasions. Pretty sure too that many of us can find birds representative of our country or find feathers incorporated into our festive regalia.
When I was young, I loved the peacock feathers that were part of festive decor for Diwali and other Indian festivals. So here's another peacock from a recent acquisition, appropriately in (mostly) blue, red and white. And greetings from the lion next to it, symbol of my country

Emile et Une Nuit has many feathery denizens in its design. And that magnificent bird next to the giraffe was one of the reasons why I decided to buy this scarf.

Decisions, decisions ... I have gone through many phases in my love affair with H scarves, ranging from OMG to sales goggles to a much more measured response now (aka I ran out of space). I try to buy scarves now which are either coup de coeur or which I'm fairly certain I will wear and not only admire. That's not to say that I don't still fall victim to FOMO or sales goggles.
This design was completely sales goggles. I really really wanted it but it was a 140 silk, not a format I wear often. My dear SA let me sigh over several cws, then firmly put them awayI really wanted that black cw...

Dear scarfies, it popped up after several months at a local reseller for half retail. Like I could say No? Carnaval des Oiseaux, come to my grabby hands! As you can see, I am still not good at dealing with 140 worth of silk.

A Coup de coeur now. I found this necktie on the bay and the material looked like scarf silk. That eagle was irresistable with its talons and wingsweep. Worn here with another tie in similar cw: Parade. I'm still hoping one day to find which RTW or scarf has this wonderful bird of prey.

I'd like to recount a feathery titbit from SOTD history now. When I first found this lovely community, the scarf mistress (the amazing ABQ2ATL) was fond of giving scarf quizzes. One scarfie @Bostonjetset joined in the fun and gave us this mystery picture which everyone found familiar but the name of the scarf remained just out of reachCan you identify it? Bonne chance!

The motifs are directly inspired by the Breton flag, the “Gwen-ha-du” (black and white’ in Breton) and are supposed to be ermine spots. Which explains the white fronds (fur), too, I suppose? I prefer to see them as little shooting stars, too, though!
Very pretty looks and delightful scarves both @Jereni! And thank you for the comment! I was quite amazed by the fireworks photo myself! Just a lucky shot...
Congratulations @violetkool -- these are going to be wonderful on you!
I am completely biased @Serpentine2806 because I have the Orphee-- it was my absolute favorite of last fall and I am sure everyone was quite sick of my raving about it but it is a wonderful versatile piece that has so much to recommend it! It is a great neutral, yet it has pops of color, it has a lovely design and a compelling theme. Ties like a dream and makes me feel wonderful What more could a shawl do? All three would be lovely picks but that's my very subjective opinion!
Absolutely gorgeous colorway and border @Croisette7-- not sure I have ever seen/focused on this one!
Thank you for another great hosting post @FA73! I'm a fellow traveler on the astronomy front (Libra here) and love collecting these designs. I have several iterations of Astronomy but not a CSGM-- I love your brilliant cw! Gorgeous. Sisters on the Fantaisies. My understanding is that the design Zodiaque, designed by Hugo Grykar in 1938 was adapted by Loïc Dubigeon and retitled Hemispharium Coeli Borealis in 1998 and reissued in SS 2009. I will plan to wear it tomorrow, but meantime here is a photo and the what I have been able to find of the story...
"Facing the sky and its thousands of ever-changing stars, man invented constellations to guide him, the universal reference points of today. Strange animals and mythological characters thus integrated the celestial vault, influencing the destiny and intentions of man. The carré Zodiaque represents the skies, such as imagined during the Renaissance period and the Neo-Classical Age. These celestial Atlases having inspired our design, one of the first by Hermès, are safely kept in the French National Library. After its creation in 1938, the design was used to adorn ladies’ swimwear."
Soooooo hot today but I was able to grab a quick shot of my outer space themed scarf. With ⭐️ ⭐️!
Very much on theme and sub-theme today as I am wearing a beautiful blue mousseline in honor of a beautiful mousseline and blue-loving friend: Astrologie Sunrise
Here you go! And my new earrings that contain freshwater pearls and glass beads - kind of starry!
Thank you for letting me know! That also explain the little ermine near the top border looking slightly worried 😊 - I thought the whites were plumes or palm fronds. I love the contrast of the black, white and green in this cw, be it stars or tiny tips of tails 😉
Lovely look and perfectly coordinated stack! Can I ask for more info about the gold bangle? It’s beautiful!
