My homage to @docride. I finally cleaned up my saddle....after 20+ years of neglect. Now, I think it finally deserves to pose with my @docride customized B.

(Cross-post...I had already posted in the action thread when I decided to post here, as it’s also sheltering at home.....not to mention, that I want to get all the mileage I can out of two days of saddle soaping and polishing silver.....that won’t happen again for another 20 years. :giggle:)

Thank you! It feels good to see it cleaned up. Display is a possibility. Just before the virus disrupted life, my two great-nieces started riding lessons, which have been suspended. I’m hoping at least one of them decides to continue and eventually train for competition and use it. If not, I can move my horse paintings into one room and it can reside there.
 
It is Animapolis by Jan Bajtlik. He created a fabulous fun scarf with 40! colors in some cw’s, and lots of whimsical animals, people and mythical creatures taking over big cities on the scarf. His dog Kluska features I think 16 times in this scarf. I had to hunt for her and did ended up finding her. I bought 3 cw’s, one of my favs of all time, and it is still the most complimented H scarf I wear. HTH. PS I might get out all 3 and do a quick side by side photo after WAY more coffee :P

It's one of my favorites too - and my very first Hermes scarf! I think this one is color way #9.

Gorgeous! Both your well loved well used saddle, and your gorgeous Birkin! Bet you arms were tired after the cleaning :P but the results are wonderful. Like so many here, we value true craftsmanship that lasts! Thanks for sharing. :heart:

Love it! And your first - what a great first scarf from H (although I’m thinking there is no BAD first scarf :P). Here is a partial view of 3 cw of Animopolis (I went a little crazy when it came out!) top to bottom cw 01, 08, 11. There are so many lush colors in these scarves I can literally coordinate one of them with any color. Hello to all from another WFH week. Yikes.
