Does anyone happen to have the story behind the scarf saved for Space Shopping au Faubourg and Les Trésors d'un Artiste?

Following are taken from the Histoires de Carrés booklet for Autumn/Winter 2017:

Space Shopping au Faubourg by Dimitri Rybaltchenko
In this adventure starring Super H, the equine superhero, a cloud of flying saucers soars over the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris. Paying a visit to planet Earth, their passengers are eager to take back to their faraway land a few choice presents - a selection of objects testifying to the skill and ingenuity of these curious Earthlings. Under the benevolent gaze of Super H and the exclamations of onlookers, they do a little shopping and fill their spacecraft with orange boxes. Rumours of the superior intelligence of extraterrestials are clearly no exaggeration: their faultless judgment has brought them straight to number 24 Faubourg, and the famous address goes intergalactic!

Les Trésors d'un Artiste by Pierre Marie
This composition centres on a 19th century paint box found in the Émile Hermès collection. From the Romantic era, it undoubtedly belonged to an amateur outdoor painter. The tasteful, clever design incorporates everything the artist will need for this communnion with nature. Watercolour blocks, phials of pigments, sealing wax, brushes, charcoal sticks, goose quills, a palette knife and pocket knife, a scraper, a ruler, a mother-of-pearl and silver-gilt paper-cutter, a white marble palette, a cut-glass pestle, and miniature dishes - not forgetting the tubes of paint, an innovation that first appeared in 1841. The beauty of this pieces lies in lemonwood, as much as its appearance as in intelligence of its design.

Found this Brazil losange while travelling. For those of you who are used to bigger shawls and scarfs, let me add: Please give this a chance even though your first attempt of trying it might be... well... not so very successful. ;) My first attempt certainly was not! Definitely no-go at first sight! :tdown: - This really needs some time to breathe (like a good red wine :giggle:) as it comes out of the box quite crumpled which makes it even smaller... I had time and played around with it (because it is soo cute...) and in the end could not leave without it:
