Love your Massaï, lanit! A great bag! Mine is black and not cut, and this is my workhorse these last days! You'll adore this one!Silkies - my eyes are in motion from all the recent eye candy. I have so many pages to scroll back and see everyone's beautiful silks. What a terrific week it has been.
Wanting to debut a new to me H piece that arrived this afternoon. Massai Cut PM for an H angel in Texas, Kermit Oliver's King Ranch silk with all the animals in motion
A beauty! Etoupe is perfection!
You make me blush, LadybagaAnfang, You are so glamorous. I want to be you when i grow up.
, thank you so much, you're a sweetheart! And errr, to be me, you just have to be much older! 
Thank you my dear Melora! i must admit I developed these past years an addiction to H greys/blacks, they work wonderfullly with anything!
Beautiful Vie du Fleuve, Melora, and great match with your watch and rings!Catching up on jewel week, I present to you my Vie du fleuve. I like to wear it with my Guess watch and one of my favorite rings
That's a clever way to wear it !!!My Easter outfit was on chromatic week. I found a set of rings at H&M (4,95!), and used them on La Vie du fleuve.
Maybe I'll go back to the store and buy the same set in gold and silver
Congrats on this Point d'Orgue, a stunning design, I too love it!Do you think it would be cheating to use the same scarf again for motion week?
Or I could just pick my all time favorite: Point d'orgue. Playing the organ with hands and feet is not always easy
Ex Libris/Brides de Gala variations
This weeks feature is designer: Hugo Grygkar
Why should every Silky know his name even if s/he does not own one of his designs? Because Hermes first year of scarf production is the year that Grygkar designed Jeu des Omnibus et Dames Blanches. It has been released in 1937, 87 and 2004. I adore the women all sitting like hens on eggs, cluck cluck clucking away, discussing how to hide recent H purchases in closet, bags and sexy pantyhose. Up until this famous year of 1937, Hermes sold silks with geometric or abstract motifs but not until the House decided to produce silks in-house, did the famous Omnibus become Hermes first design!

And finally, Brides de Gala. Now, pardon my irreverence, but I have never been moved by this design. All I can see is an old fashioned Scuba Diver. I cannot get past this. But, maybe, since there is a new re-release of Brides de Gala this season, I might just buy my first Grygkar scarf. Naa
.. But I know those who are much more savvy than I will show us their love of the Scuba Scarf!

Sparkle, you kill me with your totally fabulous quips. I especially love the JdO being compared to the clucking silkies discussing their secret hoards of silk purchases and cravings LOL, just like us. Actually I can't wait to see the new EL silk. Been holding out for that one since a few have cropped up on Spring thread. More clucking!!!
Bkm, the b/ w Phaeton, so totally classic dear. I believe I will have one of these some day. Wish H would reassure this and Turandot. Sigh.
Melora, such great details on the Fleuve and want a great find at H + M!
Thanks, Maedi, LadyB, Markova, eagle, Bkm,Anfang, textile, S'mom, seton, MUSTLOVEDOGS

Great intro to the new Theme Week, sparklelisaB,
Love your sense of humor!
I'm scurrying to my scarf drawers...
Yay! Great starter once more, sparklelisab! Love this Jeu des Omnibus et des Dames Blanches! And as for Brides de Gala, I swore, when very young, I'll never ever would buy one, I found this one so ladylike, and to say it short, boring... As you will see this week, getting older, this design grew on me! But only in its multiple variations, and never in the original plain issue.
To start my tPF week's job, "à tout seigneur tout honneur", honour where honour is due, here is my 90 (for once...) Imprimeur Fou Ex-Libris/C&T cotton/silk mastic/amarante/bleu de prusse, one of my most beloved and my avatar. And 140 DD Ex-Libris vert mousse :

Thank you my dear markova!Marvelous Anfang, Anfang!
I'm starting with two pointus, Carré en Carré with its incongruous slice of Brides de Gala and Calèche Elastique, stretching the central motif from Ex Libris beyond comfort:
Modeling pics from The Archive:
Both of yours are stunning!
I didn't even think ot these, I probably have forgotten my brain somewhere... We're cousins on both, I have CenC in CSGM, and I have the same (more than divine) color of Calèche Elastique in 90!Thank you my dear markova!
Both of yours are stunning!
Anfang,
I love that our scarves overlap!
I dove deep-deep-deeply into my scarf drawers and was amazed at what turned up. I found so much that corresponds with this week's theme. I hope I will have time to take more pics!
