Both are successful! I guarantee that Qalamdan + Ex Libris en Kimonos combo has oriental taste!
I appreciate your kind response.I realize why you are finaly back to H scarves and why you came here! In this thread,both brand new scarves and oldies but goodies come and go!
BTW I have been looking up Natsuno Hidaka for a while, I believe she is a person from my country. I'd like to know more about her. Thank you in advance.
Oh dear, I had thought this day would never come but oddly recently I have not much interest in current season scarves. Not interested in any shawl this season except the one I already bought (black/white Zebra). The only boutique score recently (a few hours after the mentioned infinity scarf was bought) was a Pique Fleuri carré in a very Mediterranean colorway which took more than a year to grow on me (finally!). Meanwhile at the boutique, I did tempt a customer to buy more carré than she had planned, hahaha. I guess I'm an enabler at heart.I love the braided twillies, dear Chestnutty!
Your new scarf is cute, but I wonder what your "punishment" is for cheating on H... so many temptations next time you walk into the boutique that you're unable to resist and walk out with a giant orange bag?

I'd love to learn more about it. Bring it on my friend!
Birdonce, here is Coup de fouet I wear today. I don't think Lumières de Paris has a similar feel.
Welcome musicmom! :welcome2: wow! Just wow! Great pairing and awesome tying. I think you have a good eye for scarf combos.
Momasauras, you are definitely talented in the scarf combo dept. I think your two pics look fantastic.
Another beautiful pic and on theme contribution. Dang, we are a talented bunch! Love the two scarves you chose and how they work together.
Good pairings moma, twins in CdV!
I love the super modern look of your pairing, VespeSparrow
Thank you for the advice, birkinmary. I'm going to give it a try, though I'm not sure if I can get another picture in this week. Maybe Saturday. But I'll definitely try it in the future, especially in the winter, when a little extra warmth around the neck is helpful!
The first knot is really easy to make, Elaine, as for the second one, I'll post a step by step later.
Oh! I had forgotten those little skinny neckties! I had a few of them... you could tie them like a men's mini-tie, or you could make them into a sort of bow. Lily Tomlin used to have a routine about women's business attire during that period that went something like this: "Your blouse is embellished with something that's sort of a bow, and sort of a ruffle, and sort of a collar... and it doesn't offend anyone, because you don't look good in it."
Good for you, for rebelling with shoes! They're a great way to stand out from the crowd (pun intended). My shoes were as boring as my suits; I standardized on Ferragamo pumps, with 2.5" heels... I had them in a variety of colors, to match my outfits. They were very pretty, and actually rather comfortable, but I certainly wouldn't call them "rebellious." Which brands did you like?
My budget was really thin those days, Elaine, and there wasn't a Web to browse either, but there was a local shoemaker who made amazingly chic styles, not very comfy but trendy enough, I remember a zebra printed pair that was quite stunning back then... 25 years ago!
Clever pairing of a classic design, essie, I love it!
Yes, I know...
This one is my second favorite pairing ever: TB and BdM, knotted in 2 different ways, thanks God is Friday, have a beautiful weekend everybody!!!!
I know, I've trying to learn more about her, too... but I've hardly been able to find anything! A few tidbits: she has been designing for Hermès since 1982, according to one article I read. And this year's Rose de Compas pattern is one of her designs http://usa.hermes.com/la-maison-des-carres/carre-vintage-100-soie-70cm-rose-de-compas-54845.html . There are only a few pictures of her scarves on HCSI... here is the link. http://piwigo.hermesscarf.com/index?/category/93-natsuno_hidaka
I wish there was more about her... I think her work is beautiful! I would love to own her Turandot scarf, which is a tribute to the opera of the same name.
Okay... here goes. The hand, held upright like that (with the fingers pointing up and the palm facing outward) is called different things in different cultures; in Israel, it is called a "Hamseh" from the word "hamesh" (which is the Hebrew word for "five"... five fingers, get it?). It is sometimes shown with an eye in the middle of the palm, because it is meant to ward off the evil eye. It is seen all over the Middle East. In the Islamic tradition, is is often called the Hand of Fatima. And Middle Eastern Christians call it the Hand of Mary.
It is a very, very old symbol in the Middle East... it has been found in archaeological digs! Until recently, it wasn't seen in the U.S. at all... I bought one in Israel in 1976, and none of my friends here had ever seen such a thing. But because we live in such a "globalized" world (which I think is a wonderful thing!) it is now seen in many countries, worn usually as a necklace or bracelet. And, as you can see, used as a scarf pattern!
End of lecture!
This is beautiful, musicmom! I love Annie Faivre's designs
