It's beautiful, melora! Fabulous colors. And you knotted it so well. Did you fold it on the rectangle before making a criss-cross knot through the scarf ring?
Why, may I ask, is it yellow-green-white day????? (Or is that a silly question?)

Thank you so much, GG!This scarf is gorgeous Elaine! I love the CW. You wear it well
Thanks for finding that wonderful photo of our dear lanit. You are right... she really rocks those Breton stripes!
Good luck in SF!
dont be afraid to try ZP in one of te other CWs. AS I was buying mine ( blue CW), saw someone trying on the green and fuschia one . it was gorgeous too!
i am sure you will find something, as the DH says.
Yes, I suspect you are right!
It looks terrific on you, moma! The hot pink is striking. I'd love to be twins with you. It's all in the hands of the Paris shipment schedule, now!
Team silk - I have been eager to share a new find with y'all. I'm hopelessly off theme today and am having an even harder time with headless selfies. Some days they are easy and other days, impossible. C'est la vie. So I'm an admitted Astrologie nouvelle junkie (have two 140cms and have been hunting a 90 cm forever). It takes a lot of restraint not to bid on the perforated ones I see all the time. So I snagged one that I felt had a casual cw vibe and TBH, my orange Pico was demanding it also. The orange in the scarf is more of a burnt orange, but that's ok close enough! Ever since my stinky kelly went back to her homeland, I have been carrying my picos around a lot! So here she is with some mod shots. As you can see, I'm still playing around with modified cowboy knots. I'm determined to come up with a few more! Which one looks better? The smaller gold ring or larger silver one? Thanks for reading my silky tale.

Exciting! There are days when I miss NYC. Did you have a good time? See any plays?
Hmmmm... now I'm rethinking Potager. I only own one scarf with yellow in it, Libres Comme l'Air, a mix of yellow and orange ...
... but nowhere as yellow as your Potager, croisette.
Oh, dear. The Wish List keeps growing!
Each more beautiful than the next, croisette! Thank you so much for posting them. The SA I spoke to on the phone said the pastels are difficult to keep in stock; the brighter colors do not sell as quickly.
But your brightly-colored ones are fabulous! I may have to re-think my ideas!
Elaine Love, love Feux d'Artifice my little yellow gavroche is a dream to tie and perk up a shirt .I think it's a underrated design , very special.Is yours jacquard?
We must be the opposite of one another in colouring if not in scarf choices !
I'm good to wear orange, and red so long as it is true red not too much towards bluish red.
Your f d'A would be a no-no for me as the combo of this red +white+ blue is tragic on my sallow skin . My worst ever scarf buy was a Tour de Cles in this very mix , a design in 70 cm I adore, but it made me look exhausted .
Vive Napoleon ! As a Brit I shouldn't say that , but DH is French so it's OK
Yes indeed, frou frou! You and I are "color opposites!"
When I wear orange, or even coral, I turn all orange-y. It is not a pretty sight!
But when I wear a blue-red, I do not even have to wear blusher... the color brightens my whole face (even at my age!). I have very fair skin, with a bit of pink in it, blue eyes, and my hair is brown and grey (and getting greyer, LOL!). Still, blue-red continues to be a good color for me.Vive Napoléon, indeed! I am excited to receive my new-to-me purchase, and especially to see the little jacquard bees. Even though "Ledoux week" will be past, I'm sure everyone will forgive me if I post a model picture next week when (fingers crossed!) the scarf arrives.
I am on a green roll? No, I don't believe so. My previous purchase was Point d'Orgue (it's all melora's fault, LOL!) The CW is Aubergine, Rose, Prune. There's a bit of green in it, but it's just here and there.
Though I could certainly use a bit of "green" (dollars, that is!) to support my scarf habit!
My kids are in a private school in America, where they have to wear uniform (no uniform in France, so it's a big change!).
This week is "red ribbon week" for celebrating a drug-free life (I feel like an ad...), and kids get to not wear uniform! They had to dress in red or pink on Monday, and in white yellow or green yesterday. Thursday is pajama day (!!!) and Friday they wear their Halloween costumes.
I don't plan to go to school in my pajamas and an H scarf
This is probably a very wise decision, Melora.
Oh, dear. You must think all of us Californians are out of our minds! I can assure you, up here on the Central Coast, we do NOT have "pajama day" in the schools!
Frou Frou - you are a classic beauty! You wear the scarves so well, and I'm sure am a real head turner when you walk down the street. I would swivel my neck.
MarieTouchet - stop it! you are going to make me start hunting this Proues. I've always shied away from the classic designs because I'm more of a modern gal, but your observation about the geometric design is spot on. So this one might be the best of both worlds for me.
How have I missed this at the Getty and Frick? I will look more closely at the boats next time I'm in both places.
Croisette - your pics are pure eye candy! I jump from your CDC, to your rings, your shawls, your jackets. Perfection. I'm so glad you started posting so many pics recently. Thank you!
I totally know what you mean about how some scarves will tie around the neck and not make you look like you suffered a neck injury while others do the opposite. go figure. you look ready for east coast weather!
