The anthracite is stunning. I haven't figured out how to wear it yet but I think it'll be the first scarf I frame. Well worth waiting for

Pirula How thoughtful ,thank you for thinking of me!
It's very pretty in fuchsia but I'm not sure it would suit me, it's a good buy for someone!
Guilty Pleasures confession time.
Last year I saw this (particular scarf) on eBay and put it on my watch list. Over and over and over it didn't sell. Well, why should it have? The pictures were awful. And at the holidays it went on sale and ended again unsold and I so became mildly obsessed with this particular scarf because it was 1)interesting and 2)mousseline.
I passed up bidding on others of these even when prices were better (but they weren't mousseline) and finally gave myself a talking, and wrote the seller asking for better pics and for MT's opinion over in the AT thread. I also asked the seller if she'd take a best offer and she said yes. And was very nice about it.
It's not everyone's cup of tea. In fact, Mr BCat can't stand it because of the weird faces on it. I didn't have the heart to tell him that was one of its main endearments for me.
So here is my new to me, in super duper condition Smiles In Third Millenary scarf because I suppose an obsession with one particular item could also be considered a grail of sorts....
It's sooooo soft.....
Forgive the sloppy mod shot. I have NO makeup on (tried to crop that out!) as I am at home resting my shoulder which I injured a couple of weeks ago, then fell down and injured the same one...

Of course frou frou; my pleasure. I had a feeling this wasn't quite the right cw. But I can't remember the correct one. Brown? Burgundy?

How fun!!! It suits you! There's such great pleasure in finally attaining a scarf after so much time and thought. Enjoy!
Oh and do get better soon. Sounds painful!
Thank you Pirula! I think this little oddity does suit me! Hoping to get better soon, as I do all the weed eating in the yard and our slightly passive aggressive neighbor keeps suggestively weed eating the side of our fence nearest his house.
That was really interesting info arabesques. I learned shibori some time ago, but didn't know the Indian term for the dye process.
Beautiful scarf too!
This is stunning!!

Wow, it looks so pretty on you!
It's very quirky and at the same time absolutely delicious!
I love the lilac outer and how it blends with the beautiful oranges.Like a sunset.
As for the face, it's something you can showcase if you want , or you can hide if Monsieur B Chat is around!

Actually, the scarf really appeals to me. I would wear it all the time!
The colors are beautiful & the pattern has a humor about it that makes me smile!
Hope your shoulder heals. You look terrific - no makeup needed!!
Thank you frou frou and Keren!
(I'm mostly still really sore from trying to catch myself. It would have probably been worse if we had tile floors or something instead of wood...ouch...going super easy on the shoulder for a while longer....)Time to go give cats breakfast. The kittens have now mastered the gentle art of staring at me continuously from about 5 feet away until I get up and give them food....(I got to sleep in today)
At least you're not billing me!! The Brazil Bandhini is my grail - congrats Pocketbook Pup!!
Well, I will say it is lovely. Dip dye is my favorite medium from Hermes in all sizes. And versatile. I like shawls that I can wear for both work and the primarily casual moments in my life. Since it was a present, albeit forced, from DH, it is off the books. No bill on this one!
