MetzFan, I am absolutely in support of you getting a L'Hiver en Poste! Would love to be your scarf twin or cousin!
Bienchen, Lovely Thai dancer, what is the name of that scarf?
Frou Frou, Thank you for your kind words! I think wearing a piece of silk that you like makes you glow from within from enjoyment!
Hair-mess, Long time no see! You look great with your creamy chocolate color scarf. In fact that makes me want to have a dark chocolate bar now!
Jahna, I think Ledoux is brilliant to mix in both normal and featureless faces. Creepy yet delightful!
Lanit, Thanks for complimenting me in my scarves. Thank You for having inspired me to dress up with my silk or I would have remained a cotton-outfit boring dresser!
Essiedub, I am waiting for you to model the Belle Chasse, pretty please?
Sparklelisab, You look FAB in the orange/yellow combo. It is especially inviting since we are raining dogs and cats here today.
BellaShoes, WELCOME! and be careful, you have now entered the path of no return....
La Vie en Rose, Thank you fr posting details of Alphabet III. I adore the details on this scarf and will have to hunt one down!!! Would you be so kind to model it for us on you? As in Alice in Wonderland, I do agree with you that it is somewhat "adult dramatic"! What a fun piece to have in your collection!

Iris, Thanks you for your kind words! You look amazing (as always) in the colorful creatures! I would not mind a bit to wear it either!
Deborah1986, You look so good in the purple, and I am glad to hear that you have removed a negative influence from your life! Life is too short to waste on negative people!!!! Take good care of yourself now!
Lanit, super lovely Pani Pointu with a beautiful grey cardigan! I love the pairing of the two, so warm and chic!
Pierina2, You have some of my favorit green/blue scarves/shawls and even the Kachinas in pink is gorgeous on you!
As for the Spring theme weeks, I am up for anything! Can't wait to see all the beautiful presentations!

Here's kind of what I'm thinking so far (and of course I'll mix the order up). Likewise, if it turns out we have enough material to last until December, then I'll insert Holiday-themed scarves at the appropriate time.

I came home with an SS2012 cashmere GM that had just been unpacked, in a pattern I thought that I wasn't interested in, and in colors that I wouldn't have picked as my first choice. Just goes to show, there's nothing like trying them on.(or maybe I should say, it's far safer not to try them on!)
Au Fil du Carre in jaune/ocre/vieux rose.
Pierinia,
This was your post that made me start thinking about a GM. I thought your Au Fil du Carre was amazing. So, since then I have been trying on GMs every time I stop by the boutique.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Thank you all for your Theme Week contributions... keep 'em comin'
Today in honor of my (distant) Irish roots, Magic Kelly tied two different ways. I think I'm going to stick with look #1 for tonight's potluck at a friend's house. Yes, I am the barefoot contessa today :shame:

.... Yesterday I finally found some GMs that felt totally right. I bought one of them yesterday and asked my lovely SA to hold the other. Thinking about it over night I knew that I was going to buy the second at some point and decided not to risk losing it. So I now have two..... The hint is that they both have monkeys in them, but they are different motifs.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

You look wonderful in Green Tango!
No modeling pics of this one, but here is GM number 2. A different colorway of the scarf of Pierinia's that I fell in love with... Sorry that the photos are not better. It is too late in the day for good light.
