I put it on in the closet for the first picture but it's really too hot for cashmere outside right now,so the second shot's from the archive:
Looking lovely as always Pierina!

HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY TO ALL THE SCARFIES!
Thank you Pierina, fritillary, IFFAH and Maedi - for your kind compliments.
Pierina - marvelous on the mousse combinations and even though the dolls do range into the scary territory, I would love to see the new 140 summer silk -it should be soon!
Fritillary - thank you for the tidbits on the insects - you are a wealth of knowledge and I now know to stay away from those carnivorous plants! Poor little buggies.

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.

Okey Dokey RoseUSA - here's the Belle Chasses modeled (which really elevated my blase weekend duds, if I do say so myselfEssiedub[/B], I am waiting for you to model the Belle Chasse, pretty please?
Pierina--I can't wait to see if I can double my Axis Mundi and Carpe Diem Mousselines. They have similar cws. How fun. Thank you my dear!
Tango--the green on you is fabulous with your cream skin and dark hair. Lovely. And I adore your sweet bare feet..so sweet our little green cherub!
Fritillary--Congratulations on not ONE, but TWO shawls. Oh, I shutter. Stunning. The cw of your Feline is so soothingly peaceful. I am dumb, but what is number two? Kimono? Can't tell as a newbie.
Essie--you are so darling in your dud and dead bird proudly hanging from your neck. What a conversation starter.
Jahna--if I remember correctly, you are an alternateur fan, and there is a stunning cw in mousseline on ebay at a great price. Thought of you my Tango dancing dear.

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:

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.

I have been lurking, and so enjoying this discussion and exhibit of scary, creepy scarves. This one, Alphabet III by Annie Faivre, I bought (at a consignment shop) because I was intrigued by the design. However, I do find it a bit creepy, what with the animals in weird positions in order to spell out Hermès.
I also find Fairytales a bit creepy, what with the looks of some of the characters, such as Alice in Wonderland's eyes (zombie? goth?). And the blue/orange colors seem to heighten the effects.
OK, Creepy scarves...
I find this a bit creepy (although I own one for when I want to change my hair color). This from HSCI:

Jahna--I could imagine a cancer-survivor admiring the wig scarf but it definitely does have an eeriness if that perspective isn't entertained. I see a horrow movie with some serial killer, or a nasty cowboy movie with scalped heads....
