Thank you so much dear eternallove4bag. I know exactly what you mean about being so enabled by going on these threads! I feel the same way about both Marwari and Brandebourgs CSGM's. I don't have either, I have that fear that they won't be around at retail forever, so I think I must get them, but then the money tree is bare!!

Arghhh....what to do?!?!

Hahaha!!! Glad to know I am not alone in this! The forum is so enabling[emoji28][emoji28]... I am also afraid that if I don't get them now I would may not be able to get these designs easily! Not to be enabling my dear Bova but Marwari and Brandenbourgs are my favorite shawls and I really fell hard for them both. I remember literally trying the Brandenbourgs in store and walking out wearing it! (Of course after paying[emoji51]) but I was that enthralled with it and I am the same to this day! Marwari is my HG. If I were to have just one shawl that would be it! Hope you get yours soon... Ok no more enabling :hugs:[emoji3][emoji3]

Okay, this is seriously my favorite little monkey so far! :hbeat:



Happy New Year xincinsin!!



Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! :loveeyes: The Licornes too, which I just realized I didn't quote. Absolutely beautiful Lanit. I'm wearing my Mythes et Metamorphoses today and will post a mod shot later. I see you already posted the monkey!



Wow! Spectacular! I love how this looks Bova. Okay okay okay, I get it I get it I get it. :laugh: Once the money tree grows leaves again :tumbleweed:I will be considering a CSGM........or two. But certainly not for this Winter I'm afraid.


[emoji23][emoji23]... Wish I could will my money tree to go as fast in reality as it grows in my head [emoji12]... Gosh I am with you dear Pirula[emoji3][emoji3]

You are not helping eternallove4bag!!! :nogood: ;)
 
Motivated to wear my AF designs this week! I have a thing for monkeys, they are all over my house in various formats and places. You can see my mantel monkey with an umbrella hanging out in the background...hehe. And just to show you Pirula, I just needed that extra warmth of a CSGM today, so I simply layer over whatever silk I am wearing, trying to coordinate of course!
Some modeling shots just for you dear froufrou, and I 100% agree with lanit , that perhaps you may find AF designs a bit less overwhelming in the CSGM format. Both designs are Songe de la Licorne in the 90cm silk and CSGM shawl.
Sigh! Beautiful!
 
I hear you on the money tree pirula!

Stunning red Pirula! Love the way you have tied it! My favorite colors on you are reds and purples btw although you can rock any color [emoji7][emoji173]️
 
Okay, so maybe I made the quiz too hard... the problem is that I don't know all the answers!
I've substituted actual silk scarf monkey images for the ones I posted for the quiz (thank you Canuck, scarf1, HatTrick & Xincinsin) but I have some blanks -- I've named a few scarf monkeys, but I don't have photos. I've you've got one, please take a picture so we can fill in the missing ones.
I hope this makes it easier to name the 20 monkey scarves.
I'll post the sets together on sequential pages:

Oh my dear ABQ2ATL, after closely inspection I can't find the popular monkey on Grands Fonds!
but on Maitre de la Foret and on Mythes & Metamorphoses

Croisette, you are a rascal -- you know there's no monkey on Grands Fonds! But thanks for sharing those on Maitre de la Foret and Mythes & Metamorphoses. I'm always so happy to see your lovely collection right after I post the Theme of the Week!

I don't have any of these, Croisette -- but I do love Ombres & Lumieres. For those who don't know this delightful design, the center shows a group of hunters with horses and dogs. Croisette has shown the monkey in a tree on one side of the scarf, but there are wolves hiding in the greenery on the other three sides of the scarf -- you can just see their heads if you look carefully!
I can't provide photos, because I don't have the scarf -- one of these days I'll find the right one at the right price....
