Congratulations on your two amazing HGs, ABQ2ATL! Terrific scores, and they both looks simply wonderful on you!Oh boy, SCARF MAIL!
Two grails came for me today that are both suitable for this week's theme...
La Vie du Grand Nord with snow and fish. I have dithered over this scarf for years, always thinking I wanted an "icy" colorway, but not really liking pale color on me... then last week the Goode Jan posted this beauty, "newly reduced" and meant for me! Does anyone know the colorway--by which I mean what does H call the colors in this scarf? I'd say mauve and burgundy, but it would be nice to know the "official" colors. (If I recall correctly, Croisette is a real fan of this design.)

Next is a scarf that has fascinated me for years -- at first I thought it was a joke to think of paying anything for a scarf that was just a lot of stripes, but then I realized that it was actually kind of sophisticated -- the stripes are horizontal but free-form, giving a panoramic view of ocean waves that look closer together toward the horizon. The more I examined this pattern, the more I felt the relaxation of looking at the ocean -- very zen and calming. I saw white scarves with blue stripes (like Bunnycat's white moussie) , navy scarves with white, and other combinations -- I even bought a pink and purple twilly hoping that would satisfy my longing.

All to no avail -- last week I found my HG at a great price and it arrived today! It was described as "blue and grey" but it's actually a periwinkle blue with pale blue stripes and hem -- I am happy out of all proportion to the simplicity of this design! Sorry that I was too eager to try it on before I photographed it flat, so there are wrinkles that shouldn't be there.

As you saw with H2O in the intro, I love striped scarves -- so meet my oh-so-simple Holy Grail!

I keep dithering about La Vie du Grand Nord and I stared at the one on Jan's site for some time but could never make myself jump. I'm SO glad it went to you!
You certainly know how to pick them and what suits you,, fabulously luscious
Thank you so much, dear Lanit! I missed it in the boutique, and therefore had to buy it preloved, but I got it at a good price from a trusted seller and I was so very fortunate to find it in the cw I wanted. What would we all do without the reseller market?
This is such a great size for you, scarf1, and the colors are so soft and pretty.
Wow, I love how versatile your cw is! It looks like two completely different scarves between the first two photos. Lovely!! Thanks for sharing, moma!
These are all simply splendid, moma. How are you doing with the snow?
Is it a good day to stay safely inside and play with silk?
