Scarves Your Grail Scarf

[texasgirliegirl]

Hmm, does anyone know the feeling of being underwhelmed or feeling empty when a long awaited grail is finally here?

I was hunting for "De la mer au ciel" in the blue CW for more than a year. Online and offline.
When I finally got the mail that there really is one for me my jaw dropped down to my desk.
Then it took several weeks to arrive. When I opened the parcel my hands were shaking because I could not believe it, was scared that there might have been a wrong scarf in it. But it was the right one.
It is as beautiful as expected, has a very "watery" vibe.

Thanks a lot to each and every one who contacted me when they saw one, this community is AWESOME!

BUT:
I have not worn it since I got it. Did not even play around with it very much as I did with all the others as soon as a I brought them home.
It somehow lacks "oomph" or "pizazz" as some of you put it. Maybe it just has to marinate a bit in the box, it's time will come.

And I had this exciting routine after work to unwind: In my browser there is a bookmark folder with "hermes second hand"-sites that I checked every day to look for it. Now that I have the grail I still do that but it is not as exciting any more. But still tempting, because every now and then there are other nice designs. Collateral damage...

I can not even provide a mod shot, only one flat on the table (BTW: my table is exactly 90x90 cm)

Dear HoneyLocks,
This has happened to me before. Part of the allure is the hunt, perhaps. Give it a chance. Pull your lovely scarf out and play with it. It is a beautiful treasure, no doubt.
Later this week I will be receiving a Grail that I've spent at least 5 years searching for ( probably longer). I had given up and then it appeared. Hopefully I'll love it.

View attachment 3442621 I'm so excited to have finally found my two grails!!
The second one should arrive by the end of the week.
Please forgive me for not taking better photos and please forgive my scarf tying.
I just had to share!!

It's even more wonderful than I had imagined.

Twins! (Scarf only, though...) Such a beautiful combo and the scarf is lovely on you. Congrats!

I resisted this one half a year ago and regret it ever since. I would put it up on the wall to have a window to another world.
scarf1, we have very similar taste, are twins on some scarves and you own some I would like to have as well.
I always appreciate your posts very much



I am happy with you. This is a very special scarf!

Thank you for your sweet comments!

And twins on the de la mer au ciel. I do understand your feeling. That's why recently I have TRIED to buy primarily at a boutique. Last year I ordered a CSGM from the website. I was a bit disappointed by it when it first arrived, but after marinating for awhile, I enjoy it more.

So give your new scarf a chance.

Oh wow!! You found it. Finally. Keep trying it. I hope you will love it. I am your twin on this one and it is a summer favorite of mine.

Regarding the theory that finding your grails slows down your scarf purchases: it is absolutely true. Last year I was buying fast and furiously. DH was a bit in a panic a bit amused by the number of packages arriving from around the world. Once I found all if my grails my buying dropped dramatically. In the past 5 months I have bought only one gavroche online. And I rehomed 5-6 scarves that I felt I didn't need. I still look at eBay or other sites if I'm bored but I'm not tempted as much to buy other things. I feel like the addiction was cured. For now. [emoji23]

I hope I can say this in 6 months! Luckily not much from FW is calling my name.

Today my holiest of grails arrived!
After a search that spanned years, I finally found it.

Inspired by our lovely MaiTai, I had nearly given up hope of ever finding this scarf.
While my photos do not do it justice ( I literally opened the box and tied it without regard to what was wearing) I must say that I am even happier with this piece than I ever imagined.
Thank you for letting me share. ❤️

This, my dear, is STUNNING! One of the best c/w in MP. So versatile...it's neutral yet has so much oomph. Congrats on the find.

This is a lovely design and c/w. I love the idea of letting it "marinate" a bit; I'm confindent it will become a beloved member of your scarf family. Sometimes the hunt is part of the excitement so I get how you feel when a grail's arrival is anticlimactic.

I really love this CW. MP has been one elusive bird!! I missed out on it three times before I found this one. So thankful to finally have it. The colors are even nicer than I had imagined.

It's very pretty but it's the way it makes you look (and feel) that's most important
