Lanit the Arbre de Vie looks absolutely good on you. No wonder why you fell for the turquoise CeL as well - turquoise works great with your complexion, dear.A couple of animal silks for the scarfies from this week...one for sparkle's goat. L'Arbe de Vie and TR pointu. in response to Maedi's query - yes, I do love the white Equateur. It is worth having to deal with white border when you can have a silk this special
etoile de mer Your scarf and sweater is a perfect match! I love both!Hello my scarf friends!
For the animal theme week, here is my Alphabet 3 90cm, designed by Annie Faivre. This is a Finesse from 1999, in a creamy white, with light grey. I love this whimsical design, especially in this very quiet palette. The various animals are hard at work, depicting various letters. The spring 1990 scarf booklet explains that the letters 'Y', 'J', 'A', and 'S' surrounding 'Hermes' have a special meaning, as they are the initials of members of the Hermes family.
Well, this is my Last Hurrah as Scarf Mistress. I want to thank everyone so much for the opportunity to present these theme weeks to you - it's been a lot of fun, and I've always felt like I've learned something new each week.
Now I'm happy to hand the reins over to Jahna and I look forward to seeing what the next year's worth of themes bring!
Happy Scarfing,
TangoTosca

First of all, a Very Happy Easter to all those Scarfies who celebrate! 
Now, let's get our "Mad Men" on....
Those Were the Days, Part IV: 1950/60's or older scarves
Though launched in 1947, Dior's "New Look" would inform women's fashion throughout the 1950s...
...while Mary Quant's mini-skirt rocked the 60s.
We swooned to Dean, Sammy, and Frank in the 50s...
.... and became Beatlemaniacs in the 60s
We stayed at hotels like this one...
.... dreamed of living rooms like these...
.... and who doesn't remember a pink bathroom (my grandmother had one!)
Texas native Lyndon B. Johnson became president after the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1962. As a Texan myself, I find stories like these hysterical, because I can picture the scene so clearly in my mind. My childhood was populated by characters like these... one day I'll write a novel!
Enjoy!
These were the cars probably most associated with President Johnson. Here his Special Assistant, Joseph A. Califano, Jr recalls a ride with the President:
In the early afternoon, the President, with me next to him in the front seat, took his white Lincoln convertible, top down, for a drive around the ranch. It was incredibly hot; the dust clouds made it hard to breathe. But there was relief. As we drove around we were followed by a car and a station wagon with Secret Service agents. The President drank Cutty Sark scotch and soda out of a large white plastic foam cup. Periodically, Johnson would slow down and hold his left arm outside the car, shaking the cup and ice. A Secret Service agent would run up to the car, take the cup and go back to the station wagon. There another agent would refill it with ice, scotch, and soda as the first agent trotted behind the wagon. Then the first agent would run the refilled cup up to LBJs outstretched and waiting hand, as the Presidents car moved slowly along.
President Johnson enjoyed surprising unsuspecting guests when taking them for a ride in his Amphicar.
The President, with Vicky McCammon in the seat alongside him and me in the back,was now driving around in a small blue car with the top down. We reached a steep incline at the edge of the lake and the car started rolling rapidly toward the water. The President shouted, "The brakes dont work! The brakes wont hold! Were going in! Were going under!" The car splashed into the water. I started to get out. Just then the car leveled and I realized we were in a Amphicar. The President laughed. As we putted along the lake then (and throughout the evening), he teased me. "Vicky, did you see what Joe did? He didnt give a damn about his President. He just wanted to save his own skin and get out of the car." Then hed roar.

Thanks for sharing.
I have this habit for having something in two or three different colors if I really into the design. I sometimes wondering if any of you can share this ''habit'', am I along out there?
hope not.
Two tigers.
I love your tigers LQYB, it was only recently I saw the orange/pink CW and I adore it. Do you know the colors? Is it Rose Indien/Orange/?
I'm with you on buying multiple CWs of a single GM design, I know it's a rule not to for some but I can't help myself
I have 2 Eperon d'Or (planning a 3rd) 2 Coaching, and 2 Ex Libris
Wow amazing !!!!!!!!!!

Dear lanit, Chestnutty, and mimi 123, sending many thanks!
Dear lanit, are you referring to color 06? There are no Equateurs on h.com at the moment. I appreciate your input and suggestion.
For critters week and unfortunately belated "Fairytales" which has an abundance of critters
and my latest scarf Pique Fleuri GM in 02. Still have to break that one out - thought I would wear it for Easter but didn't want to spill food on it.
Hope you all had a great weekend.

Love the cute head you popped onto your body! And the scarf too of course. You make scarves look so chic.What I wear is Les Trophees 90cm Rouge/Violet/Jaune + Perfore scarf ring.
Thanks etoile de mer for welcoming me as "Scarf Mistress"; NO WAY can I compete with TangoTosca for her very interesting comments and posts for each week, nor can I compete with Chestnutty in her extensive knowledge, but I thank them both for their efforts on this site.
TT, please help with background info, and Chesnutty with your incredibly wonderful knowledge base. HELP ME OUT HERE from week to week.
