Good, litchi -- and thanks for finding the Latham signature.
Now see if you can find the other example from Cuilliers d'Afrique!
(And I have to confess that I don't have the answers for all of them!)

Sulfures et papier presse.( sulfide and paperweights). GM Mousselines. This was my first Moussie purchase.
Originally released in 1979 in limited edition run of 90 silk twill at the request of Paul Jokelson( "mr paperweight") for the paperweights collectors society. Many of the paperweights are of jokelsons actual collection.
This version is from a later release- maybe 2009?
There are references to the 3 major French paperweight/sulfide makers of the 1800s- Baccarat, Clichy, saintlouis.
A sulfide is a paperweight that has some figure(flower, animal, etc) as an inclusion.View attachment 3520246

Been wanting this pattern for a long time, perhaps the detail, but unable to find in a fitting CW - this moussie is lovely :-)

How about another Latham quiz? This is Pois de Soie and includes Latham designs up to 2011. Harder than the first quiz, because many designs repeat. Here's a freebie: the small repeating pois (dots) are Bolduc au Carre and Latham's signature is in one of them. (The numbers continue from the first quiz because I was originally going to post them both at the same time.) Enjoy!

Don't worry Pudfish. I thought it was Dallet week too and wore my Panthera today. I don't have any Lathams so better be quiet for another week and just sit back to drool over everybody else's offerings!!!! [emoji3][emoji3]

It is sooo lovely to know that we are part of a "Secret society" - wearing a scarf from a particular designer and/or a certain motive or colour, based on information received and shared in this group - women spread across the glode, most of us known to each other only by our pen names. Two of my colleagues wear H scarves regularly so we exchange views and joys of H, but my true affiliation stems from H forums and especially this group. There is so much knowledge and willingness to share - thank you to all who post wonderful pictures and interesting facts and experiences :-) - a particularly heartfelt thanks to our lovely scarf mistress(es) who do a tremendous job for all of us to enjoy!

Very much so eliwon. The education that I have received here since I joined back in April/May has been astounding and everybody is so kind. It took a little while as a newbie to get used to the dos and don'ts but I think I am getting there. I love the fact that everybody is so happy to share their knowledge and pictures - the H site does not always do CWS justice and sometimes you fall in love with the story behind the scarf which makes it even more special. I think most members on here must be from the States and it is great that some seem friends in real life too. Here, in Scotland, H scarves don't seem too popular - most women my age seem to walk around in those shiny Vuitton shawls which seems to me to be a shame when you can walk around with real art and stories round your neck!
