Awesome! You look great, abq. I did not know you have two of these! The other one I want is black/white/red. Someday. No rush.

Thank you, my dear. I love the snowy/wintry scarves also. Have to suspend wearing cashmere for just a while, though.
I thought of you, Bova, when tying and using the ring. You have such a knack with the asymmetrical tie. I hope I came close.
What CW are you longing for?
First off, happy holidays everyone! Haven't been here in a few weeks and it was wonderful catching up on this thread, truly wonderful pics from everyone 
Thank you for this info and beautiful quote! I nabbed one on a whim and it went straight on my wall (still need to iron it though). I could easily go for another colorway down the road, I don't think any other scarf has as much movement in the design, it is indeed a special one.
I have one new scarf I gifted myself for the holidays, I'll be sharing pics of soon.
I have this exact scarf, and I don't think it is painted. It appears to be screened on top of the other colors though, and it may have been screen printed on top of an opaque white or a different ink to give an extra dimension to the silk design. I doubt that all scarves that were issued for this would have lbeen hand painted. I hope this helps. this design is by one of H's youngest artist:
Translated: “Heavenly Fires”
Artist: Kwumi Sefedin
Year: Fall 2000, 2001 (as Cash GM)
Literature: 2000 scarfbook
“Once, there were two gods watching over us. The first – the god of Lehreh – inhabited the skies of western Sudan, from where he sent down in timely fashion those life-giving rainstorms which gain such respect. The second, called Bail, in the same part of the heavens, scattered gold with both hands to sow the thick velvet of the night with stars. Each strove against each, for the happiness of all. It happened long ago, far back in the lands, where our races began; we return there in our dreams incessantly, towed by the stars. “

Your tie looks great momasaurus, in fact when I saw it I thought...ooo, I need to try and have mine look like that!! I think I would like a black CW of Neige d'antan, although I also have to make sure the center colors works for me. Unfortunately I am not familiar with all of the CW's, but a black/red/white combo would be perfect in my opinion!
Thank you! I didn't know about it before and I couldn't believe there was such a stunning design that I missed!

Thanks Lanit! I actually did research and saw your posts before I bought it. Yes I didn't mean hand-painted, it's just a second layer that looks like touches by an artist's hand. I noticed matte and shimmer dimensions on those second layers. Thanks for your confirmation! If I ever clean the scarf one day, is it prone to coming off?
That scarf design is so pretty!! I love the painted feature!!
I have a cashmere Sur Un Tapis Volant with gold stars on it which appear to have been painted after the scarf was printed.
Thanks for letting me know! This is very new and interesting to me. Another reason to love their scarves!
Thanks for chiming in too frou frou! Sounds like they tend to give "special effect" to the stars & starbusts! [emoji2]
Today's SOTD is one that I don't reach for often because I don't think the colorway is all that flattering. But it looked so lonely in its box - it was practically begging to be worn. Here's Chasse au Bois:
I usually wear it in a bias fold:
Full scarf:
I find the foxes a little creepy:

You may have to re-tie it to avoid be starred at all day. Overall I love all the little creatures!
LOL, so funny about the eyeballs! I feel the same with Under the Waves, no matter how I folded it, some fishy ended up looking at me.
I passed on it but I'm sure I'll regret doing that! By the way, so lucky you can wear that jade green border nicely.
Darling...your pics are so fabulous!! I absolutely love them. Can you please start a thread with your scarf collex? I adore your humor....and playful photos. Am so glad we met in line at the BH sale this year.
When I was there, there were no other tourists to speak of. We were followed everywhere, hotel rooms bugged, the works. In those days, Russians lined up if something was to be sold. Anything. Hear a rumor of say a shipment of shoes coming in, lone up to buy regardless of size, etc. one could barter them away later.
I know I would be floored by the changes.
St, Petersburg is such a beautiful city, I would love to see it again. We also went to the Golden Ring and would like to see that again as well.
I would love to return to Poland as well, esp to Krakow.
I must admit, though, lately I have been do happy to visit Paris that it is hard to think of other destinations.
Thanks for the encouragement!!
