I actually wore my Coup de Fouet Tuesday, but I was reluctant to post it. I find that having this
beautiful piece of silk wrapped around my neck just doesn't do it justice.

it looks very smart with your jacket.

Seton -- belated WOW on the Comtesse de Segur collection! Love this scarf too, every detail, and it's such a treat to see your amazing portfolio of colors. Did you spot the white and blue one that was on French eBay within the last couple of weeks? I was especially mooning over the goat-cart panel. (Adding a tip 'o the hat to Sparklelisab here too.) What a charmer!:wave:

TY. I dont usually check out ebay for scarves but I did come across it while googling. The cool blue cw is one of the rarer ones but it's too cool for me. I hope it will be perfect for whoever eventually gets it. The goat cart panel is one of my faves too.:smile1:

In honor of this week's theme, I finally have enough courage to join you all, wonderful Hermes lovers. Here is one of my faves, and oldest scarf in my (very small) collection, my red Alsace. The color and romantic scenes make me think of love. Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
PS: Seton - - The last photo is for you, "our" Fantaisies in action....thanks for letting me inherit this baby. Though the green intimidates me, I can't help but fell in love with it:loveeyes:

Carrelover, Welcome to the thread! Your contributions are exquisite! Your Alsace silk is a love poem in action! I love the shade of red in this. What can I say about your Fantaisies but WOW! What a treasure! Those jewel tone colors are lovely, and YOU wear them so well. No need to feel like the green is intimidating since you look fabulous! Thank you for your pics!!

Here's my story for this week's theme. My best friend and I met the day I was moving into the dorm, my freshman year of college. My parents were helping me move stuff from car to room, and as I was making one trip from into the hall, there was this girl! This girl, so bouncy and confident, it seemed to me, with long, silky brown hair and smiling eyes. She said, "Hi! My name's (your new best friend)." That was August of 1982. She's my son's godmother and I'm her daughter's godmother, and I don't know how I'd have made it this far without her.

For our 30th "anniversary" last summer, I gave her an Aux Pays des Epices that I had hunted down. She's not one for labels or expensive goods, but I wanted to treat her and enable her to enjoy something luxurious. She's a wonderful cook, and some of our fun times have been cooking together in her kitchen.

She is an artist. I mentioned to her a few weeks ago that I'd read a review about a show at MOMA by Azin Valy, out of which had come a line of scarves, featuring aerial views of some of the world's great cities. A couple of weeks ago, in the midst of all the boloney going on my world, the Fedex man met me in the driveway early one morning with a delivery. I emailed her quickly "!!!!" after I saw the return address. Then, when I got to the office, I had to go straight into a meeting. Another email: 'Suspense: Rome or Paris....' We had discussed both, my favoring the colors of both city's scarves, as well as both cities. She responded, "I chose the city you've loved longer." That told me the answer: Rome. Herewith, a non-H lovely silk chiffon aerial view of Rome (with the Colosseum front and center, I just noticed)! This is a poor photograph; the scarf is a lovely fuschia, with greys. What a thoughtful gift, from a very thoughtful friend.

What a wonderful story, VnSoie, and such a good friend to know that now was exactly the the time for this treat. The detail looks fascinating! When you wear it you'll always be reminded of how much she cares for you.

Oh Etoile, you look gorgeous. You wear grey/whites and blues so well.
jp 536,I to just bought a GM and silk 90 in the same cw because I love the design so much and you know, if Pierina says yes, it's yes with me too!!
Seton, here is my rendition of your fabulous look yesterday, and with one of my favorite designs. Astrologie!! The sun is the literary eye of God and to think of her gaze and golden arms around me gives me strength!

Yay, you're up and about again sparkle! Looking pretty snazzy indeed in the new Astrologie. :D

So glad you've jumped in to share, Carrelover, and welcome! :wave: I so enjoyed seeing the sweet and romantic images of your Alsace! And Fantaisies Indiennes is a such a wonderful and whimsical pattern. Thank you for posting!

I'm off to a dentist appointment, so I will come back later to comment on all of the silk loveliness I have been seeing. I try not to play favorites with my scarves, so I have to say that ALL of them are my favorite. Here is a new favorite of mine: PHOTO FINISH in the green colorway. I bought this at my Hermes store, but it can also be found on H.com US site. (I've added some pics of a green enamel bangle which is a newly purchased treasure along with a pair of Isthme horn/lacquer earrings in green which had to come home with me as well. ;) The last pic is in honor of FAT TUESDAY! (The way I've been eating lately has become "Fat Tuesday" every day.) This scarf, Creole Jazz, came to live with me a few months ago when my dear aunt's friend was pairing down her closet for a move. She knew how much I love Hermes scarves, so this one, along with three others (Concerto, Kachinas, and Fluer et Fauna) are part of my Hermes family. :smile1: Happy Eating Day to everyone!!!!

Very striking, Ladybaga, and you wear these bright colors so very well! Love the jewelry with it too. hmm, red and green are my DS/DBIL's racing stable colors, and she has a birthday coming up soon....thank you!! Gift-giving solved. :p

I need to comment on all the beauties I missed, but here is my actual SOTD (pardon the poor office lighting), which is my contribution to this week's theme.
I bought this scarf last year at the Madison Ave boutique with my best friend - we've always enjoyed shopping together, and even though she doesn't share the H love (yet), she happily goes scarf shopping with me. And I love to bring her along because she is so honest about what looks good on me or doesn't, so I can resist the SA's pressure (and laugh if the scarf really looks terrible on me!)
So there you have it, Point d'Orgue in the weave knot (haven't mastered the friendship knot yet, but still think of my friend when I wear it)

Lovely story, sophieg, and I think the colors in the picture and your sihouette and the scarf all together are rather amazing!!

I am so honored to be of help to you, dear pierina! That is really cool that this scarf has the exact same stable colors! And THANK YOU for your sweet comments! (You know how I love my brights! :cool:)

Welcome, and thanks so much for posting that glowing Alsace, Carrelover. What a beauty! The Fantaisies is also wonderful but more in a way that draws you in, wanting to see more of the details and more complex color scheme.
