This looks absolutely great on you. 😍 Now I need one too, even if I'm not a fan of the design... but the colours compensate it all!
 
Good Morning and Happy Wednesday. Like Diana, I loved the 70 format. She and I were sisters on these two cute designs featuring bathing beauties...

And Bain de Mer. I loved learning that the lady on the beach featured in all the small squares on this scarf. is Jean Louis Clerc's wife! I was about to tie this but left it draped so you could see her posed in hat and swimsuit...

This might be my favourite week as I also absolutely love blues. Is the colour I have the most in my wardrobe and is the colour that every season I have to force myself to look at other colours cos my brain goes blue instantly.
Today wearing mostly blue down to the shoes and bag, and one of my favourite scarfs and designers.
This is beautiful-- we don't often see this cw @Orange_addict. I am often accessorized in blue also!!! 💙

You are beautiful, LKBNOLA, but your two watchdogs as well! My hand twitches, I would like to cuddle them so much.
 
View attachment 6201840Another scarf I twinned with Diana / @scarf1 on was this colorway of ITCW. When I was debating hitting the buy button she shared mod shots and colorway information that was the deciding factor.
Oh mi - this makes me very covetous … I feel like it’s the first time I’ve thought to myself about this design ‘Why don’t I have this!! Need!’ Gorgeous Snausages!
Good morning!

I am so enjoying the gorgeous blues and voices of community you are all sharing this week - thank you!

Today I am trying to find a way to show both the blue/tabac and the flower reverse side of brandenbourg fleuri, while trying not to show the white main pattern. Sigh. But oh the blue and oh those autumn colors :hbeat:

Ooooooo - lovely!
Hello and good morning,
I think Diana might have liked this one, Fleurs d'Indiennes in light blue.View attachment 6202179
So marvelous with that purple hem - love!
It is hard to say, which scarf counts as my bluest one, since - like @scarf1 - I am always drawn to blues.

This one is a strong contender though with is shades going from navy to an iridescent light blue.. l‘année des etoiles again with a different top and matching earrings..

View attachment 6202185
It is lovely!
While I often say that pink is my favorite color - I wear a lot of blue!
In all the time I knew Diana, I somehow missed that we were twinkies on this beauty until yesterday…..

She did indeed like the 70’s! And these are all lovely - I also didn’t know that that was JL Clerc’s wife - how cool is that?
And - puppies! Coco sends smooches!
 
Missing a bunch of quotes this morning, as I’m on a different device. It’s so lovely to see much-missed members here again, paying tribute to scarf1 / Diana. I am enjoying the wonderful blues, but also the kindness, empathy and friendship that makes this place so special.

Moving away from metaphors today and turning our eyes back to the sky for celestial navigation

Stars have been used as navigational tools since ancient times by mariners and explorers. Some of you know that exploration is one of my collecting and favorite themes, so I do have a few examples to showcase.

Early forms of celestial navigation can be traced back to Phoenicians and Polynesians. Centuries before European explorers, ancient Polynesians settled the Pacific islands through the art of wayfinding, a highly sophisticated navigation system based on observations of the stars, the swells, the flight patterns of sea birds and other natural signs. This started between about 3000 and 1000 BC. The primary voyaging craft was the double-hulled canoe, which could accommodate about two dozen people.

It is believed New Zealand was one of the last largest landmasses settled when eastern Polynesians reached it in the 13th century.
To design Kawa Ora, Te Rangitu Netana, a Maori tattoo artist, took inspiration from the Maori culture. The central circle represents a giant octopus, symbol of navigation, and its tentacles, the eight directions of the Maori compass.

According to this site, https://teara.govt.nz/en/diagram/2222/maori-star-compass, the Maori star compass (called Te kapehu whetū) divides the 360 degrees around a canoe in the open ocean into different houses. The location of these houses depends on where the sun, moon and stars set and rise. The navigator attempts to keep the canoe on a course relative to these observations.

In the Mediterranean, a passage in Homer’s Odyssey is considered one of the earliest known accounts of using celestial navigation. Odysseus uses the stars to navigate, specifically referencing the Pleiades, Boötes, and the Bear (Ursa Major) to escape Calypso’s Island.

Pytheas of Massilia or Marseille was a Greek scientist in the 4th century BC. A skilled navigator and astronomer, he traveled to the British Isles and an island he called “Thule” thought to be Iceland. Like the mariners of his time, Pytheas most certainly used a sundial to measure the length of shadows cast by the sun and determine his latitude. As he ventured north, he also likely observed circumpolar stars, stars that never set below the horizon due to their proximity with the pole. His contributions to scientific knowledge related to the sky were varied. He was the first person to describe the midnight sun. He also connected the lunar phases to the tides. Pytheas determined that contrary to the belief at the time, the brightest star near the North Pole was not precisely at the pole itself.

Pytheas' accounts have been the subject of significant debate over the centuries but today his voyage is considered a significant achievement in ancient exploration. He is certainly a hero of his hometown Marseille, with his statue on the facade of the Palais de la Bourse.

And as you know, Hermès released Le voyage de Pythéas, a favorite scarf for many, to celebrate Marseille as the 2013 European Capital of Culture.

Among the celestial navigation tools, the astrolabe is an astronomical instrument used from around the 6th century to measure time and position by determining the altitude of the sun and certain stars. It is also the name of one of the ill-fated boats during Jean-François de Galaup, comte de Lapérouse’s expeditions, featured in Per astra ad astra.

I cannot end this part on stars and navigation without Shackleton’s Endurance expedition to cross Antarctica. Sir Ernest is a celebrated hero, having won the fight for survival of his entire crew after the Endurance was trapped then crushed by pack ice in 1915, and the entire crew stranded on the frozen Weddell Sea for a total of 20 months. It has also now become obvious that their fate would have been different without the masterful navigation skills of Captain Frank Worsley.

https://thecurrentga.org/2022/03/11...gifted-navigator-knew-how-to-stay-the-course/

When the main boat the Endurance appeared definitely lost, Shackleton decided that the only way of survival was to get some help using one of the accompanying tiny boats, the James Caird. Quoting:

“Worsley, Shackleton and four other men set off under sail in the 22.5-foot James Caird, carrying Worsley’s chronometer, navigational books and two sextants, used for fixing the position of the Sun and stars. They were facing high winds, massive currents and choppy waters …and the success of this voyage depended on Worsley’s absolute accuracy. They spent 16 days of "supreme strife amid heaving waters" experienced “mountainous” swells, rain, snow, sleet and hail. During that time, Worsley was able to get just four solid fixeson the boat’s position. The rest was "a merry jest of guesswork" to determine where the wind and waves had taken them, and adjusting the steering accordingly. The stakes were enormous – if he missed South Georgia, the next land was South Africa, 3,000 miles farther across more open ocean.”

So Hommage à Frank Worsley, his celestial navigational skills, and undoubtedly his lucky star.

Just a fabulous post all around, and I couldn’t miss telling you how much I enjoyed it, as well as your hosting, @FA73 . That Shackleton… oh my :girlsigh:
I want to thank all of you here, for your kindness your advice, your kind remarks and your friendship. This is truly a wonderful space.

Thank you also to all who commented on my new Della Cavalleria Etriers. I have fallen in love and will definitely keep it.

In honor of Diana I folded it with the blues showing (since I don’t own many blue scarves).

I’m glad you decided to keep it, @redheaddem, it’s such a happy effervescence of colour. The benefit of a busy design is that it hides a lot, and the flaws are well hidden. Imperfect ones are so much easier to wear worry-free, too! I'm sure this will be a ‘go anywhere, do anything’ shawl for you.
Good Morning and Happy Wednesday. Like Diana, I loved the 70 format. She and I were sisters on these two cute designs featuring bathing beauties...

Safe travels to you, DH and the furry darlings!

I looked for the Jour de Casting in this CW while travelling, but missed it everywhere I went. How are you finding the vintage silk, in terms of creasing and care? I'm hesitant about the lighter silk, but it’s so hard to resist the puppies! Your little dears are adorable 🥰
 
It’s still too hot for scarves here, but posting one for Diana, that we twinned on. Thanks to @Pirula for reminding me - it’s lovely to see you here again, however sad the circumstances.

(I love the details that look like fireworks here)

And one we didn’t twin on, but it’s the bluest blue imaginable: Three Graces in Indigo Fonce (I think this may be the same blue as @Redbirdhermes’ Ors Bleu D’Afrique?)
