Love your Bocage. It took me a few years of stalking to find one.
I think #3 is Poret's Mesanges.
Bocage can be a hard one to find. There's also a similar design of tree branches that's from the 70s (so I surmise) -- don't remember the name -- but it's so different from the way contemporary HS portray branches, so Bocage-like, that I think it's a 1970s scarf. I debate about getting it every time I see it.
 
Wow! That's so striking with your coloring. And, I don't believe I've seen the ZP worn in quite that striking way here in the thread.
Thank you, eagle10002us. I'm not sure I could repeat this look if I tried. It was bias fold, slide on bolduc , tie behind neck.
I LOVE how you tied Zebra Pegasus! Now I wonder how I could not have gotten this one.

BTW: I enjoy your postings: so cheerful and natural, they show so much happiness. Keep up the good spirit!
And thank you for your lovely compliment. I choose to be happy no matter what. My marriage helps me stick to that, in spite of circumstances such as those of this week. (Half our chicken flock slaughtered Wednesday night, then the need to take our cat to vet ER Friday night. Cat will likely have surgery tomorrow.)
 
26 November 2017 WHAT WAS I THINKING? The scarf you just don’t like to wearput it on for advice on whether to keep or re-home it

This is a new theme -- I thought it might be fun to talk about fails instead of triumphs for a change. I think we all have scarves that we pick up from time to time and just put back in the drawer because they don't "spark joy" (as Marie Kondo, the cleaning guru, would say). This week I'll show my "Bottom Five," or if you prefer, my "Top Five Unlkeables."

I'll show you the scarf and share what I was thinking when I got it, then tell you what bugs me and what I learned from making myself try it on.
(Comment if you like, but it's not essential.)
Here we go:
Carrosserie by Philippe Ledoux [1976]
One of my early acquisitions for which I paid too much, reasoning that it was a "collectable." The silk is thick and rich and it feels wonderful. The flat photo shows mostly the center of the scarf so you can see the detail (and title)Carrosserie composite 2 TPF.jpg I love the brown, but this shade of yellow doesn't do me any favors -- it actually scared me off yellow at all for several years.

Couvee d'Hermes by Cathy Latham [1994]
I bought this one because of the detail on the eggs -- I love going through an artist's work and finding which scarf each design came from. I haven't done it with this one because it's not all Cathy Latham, so it's really difficult. The eggs are a little too large to show very many of them and the brown border is a bit wider than I'd like.

The brown top hides the brown border a little better but the light green top is surprisingly nice with the scarf. This is a prettier shade of yellow for me than Carrosserie -- the peachy shades look considerably better on me. I guess I might wear this one after all (maybe at Easter, though the colors aren't very spring-like).

Lesson learned: Brown and yellow scarves don't really make me very happy. Your turn.
