Man thanks, peppers! Fantastic colour combo! Love Rubans!
My other Ledoux. (But this one is such a favorite, I have it in two formats.)
Cosmos mousse gavroche tied a couple of different ways. I think one is a chou chou and the other is MaiTai's flower knot. I wore the flower for awhile then switched over to the chou chou to see how it looked.

So very pretty.
This is just lovely alexahoffmann.
Thank you peppers!
Very cool!
I only have one Mcqueen scarf left now and it looks floral unless it's opened out completely, some of his designs are so beautiful.
PS A very fine selection of traditional Scottish jewellery there, especially the Luckenbooth designs. I only have one very old Scottish agate brooch, from around the 1870s, but it would sit well next to your fleurs d'écosse!!
That is absolutely beautiful. Sometimes I go to the auctions in Glasgow, these old typically Scottish pieces fetch high prices now
You are so stylish and handsome!
Such a pretty cw
I only have the silk but I love these UtW moussies
Croisette, you're collection of scarves is enviable even for a museum
I learn so much from you too, most of these I would never know from the makes. I have even taken note of a couple for my new HG list. Wedgwood is TDF!!!
Lovely colours on you and those earring are amazing
AM is dreamy and wonderful as is that lizzie CDC

Cosmos is on my list too but the colour has to be right, this on is certainly beautiful on you
Very pretty, hope you had fun
I agree, great working those colours together
Apparat again today this time as a belt with casual outfit and breaking up that 'block' of black- such wonderful weather
Have you seen the BBC antique hunt/ auction show. A pair of dealers compete to find items in antique shops then sell at auction. There was a Scottish segment maybe you last year or his year. The little Scottish Antiques shops looked very interesting too but you would have to hunt & do a lot of driving. Frankly the auction house might be a better bet. Think you are more lightly to find H in shops or shows than the auctions though. We went to some charity shops and antique shops in Glasgow & Edinburg anything with a name was high. Rural might be better. Got the feeling dealers save stuff for shows or preferred customers.
Delighted to post my Scottish scarves in a bit Pautinka. Yes I have a few but BIL is also a collector & I'm passing some of them on to him in Scotland. Hopefully I can find pix. Will be super busy for a while with limited internet access.
Thank you purplepoodles. Please don't rush! Charity shops, in my opinion, are not worth looking at anymore for anything vintage. They all employ dealers with a trained eye to sift through for anything of value which then goes to auction. Then the employees take the cream - I know this for fact! I did find a double string of cultured pearls ten years ago but that was my last good find and it was only because they were marked costume that they were still there... they cost me £10!!! So far I have paid full whack for 4 out of my 5 scarves but I realise I may need to temper this as my love grows. 😊😊 Maybe I need to turn to the auction houses (and if I am being outbid I will say, "oh hello purplepoodles"!! 😂
I love all of the antique shows but don't think I have seen the one you mention; maybe it is shown at the wrong time for me.

So pretty as a belt, and look at your python booties!
And thank you both for your nice words, Papertiger and Pautinka!
