Whoot whoot - Its is b/w week! Great theme start dear and yes indeedy sparkle Ms. Neel is stashed away with Ms. MP! Love the piano keys and kitten and I took your cue this morning!
Silkies - I am soooo guilty of being a b/w hoarder of H silks.
I counted over fifteen that I consider my b/w's including the dashes of reds and blues in some. Just arrived off the plane, the now ubiquitous MP - I get to wear this one all year round in my climate, thanks to a very helpful H angel. The very hard to find MP Pareo 'stole' my heart away after seeing arabesques and Nico's. I favor the twill for the dressier occasions and this stole for everyday. Here are most of them minus the two noted and already displayed by sparkle. I got in a bit of trouble bringing them out on the piano - then quickly refolded them and to show how very few they actually were when DH came in from a run....my strategy for keeping him from thinking of his hoarding H silk DW.
Will try to select a few to model this week for you all. Happy b/w sharing!

It's not related to this week's theme, but today I'm wearing my home made dip dye Tigre Royal to go shopping.
That's great, HNutty! I also tried my DIY DD yesterday with amazing results, this is my new Le Pont Neuf a Paris dip dyed in cherry:
PLEASE, CHECK-IN
The best of the 70 b/w silks my dear, and a Grail at that - it is indeed an all time H classic. I get to savor my red one.
MYH - all photos of silks are welcome and it does not have to be on theme - our thread still pays homage to SCARF OF THE DAY! You look terrific in your choices and the Astrologie slipped by me last year. Such a dramatic graphic silk on you.
Oh boy Bkm, now I have an excuse to buy even more b/w silks so I can DD them, right?
This is gorgeous!

I'm glad you like it, Lanit. The original scarf was in very bad condition with huge brownish stains on the four corners, fortunately, a good friend found the same color way for me in very good condition, so dip dying it was a safe bet!
A great job, indeed, Nuttynut! This really is stunning! Major congrats!It's not related to this week's theme, but today I'm wearing my home made dip dye Tigre Royal to go shopping.
Splendid boxes, Melora!
Good Morning my Silky Friends,
A Big-Ole Shout out to our Fabulous Host last week--- Jahnna!!
This week's theme is the Canvas of Black and White! Can we all sing: "Ebony and Ivory, together in Perfect Harmony..." Come on, who sings it??
Wowowow, sparklelisab! A great starter, once more! I'm a sucker for black and white, going to try to post some pics during this week!
Perfection!PLEASE, CHECK-IN
Great pics, MYH! I really love your Astrologie!
Can't resist charging in here with my latest acquisition (just got it yesterday!). It fits the theme I think: black + white = grey... and yes I AM GOING TO ACTUALLY WEAR IT! Sorry for the Hermes picture (haven't had time to photograph it myself yet.

Oh wow! We have quite a few b/w hoarders amongst us! Lanit and anfang - your collections left me speechless. Lanit - I play the piano too but didn't want to bring out my silks to the keyboard because DH is sitting out there enjoying a cup of coffee. Don't need any raised eyebrows IYKWIM. Birkinmary - I see a dip dye revolution about to happen with the help of your enabling. Great job on your DD. Jahna - love the paint scarf and it's gorgeous colors. This one is so modern and classic all at the same time.
Ok silkies - the weather here is hot and I felt like I was cheating posting archive pics. So I played around with my moussie this morning and have decided it looks decent enough (I don't look too matronly) to wear out of the house. Thought I would also share a pic. Hope everyone has/had a great weekend.

I dunno...I guess I get easily distracted. Lanit, I can never see your scarves because of your PERFECT mouth (it's going in an illo sometime...). And Anfang, I love how you matched up those scarves so that the scroll made a "tail" on the horse...
Oh well. Back to work.
