Happy St Patty's Day. Charmante des animaux mousseline stole.
Ah, bruxelles -- there's Mare Nostrum...and with two more lovely water-themed silks. Well-done!
And I at least found a bit of my Mare Nostrum, this time paired with a Tapis Volante plisse for two-scarf week. You can see the lovely fish spouts that grace each corner!
This is such a great scarf, Holsby! I love the water effect over the fish -- Dimitri R. is a clever fellow.
Thank you, and thanks everyone for the *likes* !
Just lovely Holsby! I know they are considered 'old-fashioned', but I could get lost in the details of so many of Ledoux's designs...wonderful!
Not a depiction of anything actually watery but from the archives, here's Fred Rawyler's wordy Les Sources de la Vie in the GM mousseline. This was a ridiculously priced rescue project from "the usual source" and I just couldn't let it languish 
Look at Holsby's Sous les Orangers link above, then just for fun, compare Benoît-Pierre Emery's Hermès a Beverly Hills for a look at the H logo shimmering under the water of a swimming pool shaded by palm trees in the California sun:
And then look at artist David Hockney's swimming pool paintings for yet another view of water in an enclosed space:

I was wearing FP yesterday and today not even realising I was on-theme (though sadly not green too) . Suddenly it's cold again but I'm not moaning
