I am running super behind on this thread because I was out of town all weekend. No prayer of catching up, but it looks like Feather week is off to a super start!

Thursday wearing Le Monde est Vast. The deep grays of Le Monde went really well with my long cardigan, as well as with the etoupe Bolide.

I spent the weekend in Louisiana, which I wrote about at length here. A little Scarf on Site action with Aux Pays du Epices

I usually don't nickname my things, but this is one exception. I call it my "gumbo" scarf, because it's the perfect color for roux. Here's me having a bowl of gumbo while wearing "gumbo" in Lake Charles last week. (And mercifully didn't get any gumbo on gumbo!!!!)

He's evidently from Ottoman empire embroidery typical of the Greek island of Skyros:

Hoopoe; detail of embroidered hem of a bridal sheet, from Skyros, a Sporades island. The hoopoe, or rather the cockerel, appears in several versions in neo-Hellenic art and possesses an apotropaic-talismanic symbolism, beyond which lies a wish for fertility but also for the fighting strength that might protect it. Late 18th-early 19th c. (ΓΕ 6381)
Below the embroidery, a modern-day hoopoe:

Thank you so much for finding this! The explanation is even cooler than I expected :nuts:. I added this to my thread so that I'll always be able to easily find it.

You're a darling lady, and I'm so happy your first week as Silky Mistress is off to a wonderful start! :smooch:
 
So elegant Pirula. I know I said I need to slow down on scarves, but I really just NEED that gavroche. and I just realized, we are in the same city too!







Beautiful bird and witty words Weibandy. I love how this thread introduces me to new and old designs that I've missed.







aren't these so fun?! Especially that Bal Masque!







And another ZP in the rose! Isn't this such a great design and cw?







Soiree de Gala. I've been considering a different cw in that design but promised my husband no more silks until the new year...


Thank you perfumegirl! And how lovely! Perhaps we could meet at Hermès one day.

Dang girl. Now I'm craving. There's a great Cajun place in Leesburg. May be time to go back! Yummmm.

I was inspired by MYH's posts of mousselines on her thread, but I decided I would save my one and only mousse for feather week:

Oh this is lovely! [emoji7]
 
Feathered friends galore on my bateaux du monde. Love the etchings on the border and the shells remind me of sieste Au paradis. Added the obligatory modeling shot thanks to tutorial from tangotosca.
Now I want one!

All beautiful, but the moussie! Wow!!!
 
Congrats on nabbing the Royal Mews! (more modeling pix, I hope?)

Twins on MP

Your ZP sent me looking to the website to see if it's still around because I love it. (Answer: no. But I will check in the boutiques)


Hi momasaurus! I just remembered I didn't delete a pic I took from when I tried on my new Royal Mews. So here's a modeling pic!:

I don't have a lot with non-bird feathers but this one is loaded with them and is not a pattern I have seen much on here (although I know Croisette has it in a different colorway!)

Some of you have seen me wearing this Panache et Fantaisie but I don't think I've ever shown the full flat pic. Feathers galore.

Ooh! I likey!!

Thank you dear Pirula!
Funny thing is, I didn't fall in love with this pattern but I "rescued" this for a steal and I believe in a well-rounded collection. It's in great shape for being 56 years old [the odd stain here or there but no holes!!]. I really love how it ties though...quintessential H in this colorway. I actually wear it much more than I anticipated when I bought it.

Btw, your Royal Mews is lovely!! I visited the mews at Buckingham about 10 years ago and the collection of carriages is quite cool to see. So opulent! haha

Yes! I visited as well! The carriages are incroyable. Thank you!

That's so wonderful how this scarf earned its place! Wow! 56 years! That's even older than I am! [emoji15]
 
Here are some pictures of Le Fil d'Ariane and Tyger Tyger lying flat that I promised Pirula and eagle1002us respectively. Sorry about the wrinkles in material, I had to prop them up slightly to get most of the scarf in the picture and they’ve been knotted many times over.
