Silkies, I am beyond excited to share my new purchase and just in time! When I saw this piece years ago and having missed it as I have not been a Silky for too long, I D I E D. But here it is--- one of my A-list, Wish-list scarves that came home to California today: Les Toits de Paris.

My favorite details are the chesty, hippy American girl who has rented a flat in Paris for the summer. She is luxuriating over the city's beauty as a nearby cat is stocking a pigeon dinner. The four mice are thrilled they are not going to be his late night supper and may be the most happy detail of the scarf. Sadly, there is a shadow of a kitty who can't get out of the house.

lanit, I only now noticed your Clair de la Lune! For me, this scarf firmly belongs into the Magic category: it is so beautiful, I am not quite sure how it exists :) It makes me think of an evening of fine cigars and fine chocolate - under the candlelight, in well-worn leather armchairs. What does it feel like to the touch: a twill, a vintage, or entirely something else?

Croisette7, compliments on your vast collection! I'm quite partial to your pink and gold Alphabet finesse, what a rarity and a delight.

Lisa, congratulations on a beautiful cw and adore the whimsy of this design. It reminds me of my latest adventure. We had severe storms where I live about a month ago. Well, to make a long story short. My Oliver discovered a rat that lives in a drainage under our street. The rat has become Oliver's looked after pet and we bring him food everyday! I don't know if the neighbors are too pleased or not, but hey, he is an animal....rat or not!:D I think he can get out just fine now, but he is proabably thinking. Wow, this is really the good life! ha:smile1: Yes, please share with us if this scarf has some symbolic reference to your life! :smile1:

Congrats on this find! And it really IS a find-- no one seems to be surrendering this pattern, and I don't blame them. We are cousins-- I have the predominantly blue version with cream and brick-red accents-- and I can tell you from experience all those sweet details you've described so well never get old! :hugs:
