I was hunting for the black CW, and eventually it found me, and at a good price! All the best luck and good vibes for yours to find you soon!
This is my grail scarf. It's an Annie Faivre design in my favorite color way. It's extra special because a dear friend gave it to me

It's gorgeous Luccibag! And your wonderfullly bright parrot send that cute pic over the top!
Thank you pt! I too learned a few lessons from some risky purchases with items less than accurately described. Thankfully, I have a low tolerance for risk and they were very inexpensive, so the failure rate has been low. But I am much more careful now when a seller says something like "general dirt should come out in cleaning...." because that's just lazy selling practice. That was indeed the case with this one too, but I took a gamble anyway. Mostly it all came out ok. The wrinkles and dirt were all kind of combined. The described spots came out fine (as well as some not described ones...). One spot (*not* shown in pics) near an edge has a small color loss but the scarf is pale there, so, well....Overall it worked out ok and yes! I'm so glad it made its way to me. I won't mistreat it so!
Thank you! And wow! 29! I love parrots. I have a green cheek conure as well! [emoji211]
And again, huge congrats my dear bunnycat!Been a while since I've gotten to share here with a personal grail scarf.
It all started back when I bought my first twilly. Also listed at that time was an Amours pocket scarf (might have been moussie???) which I promptly dubbed "Naked Cherubs" (!) and like an idiot, I told myself I could only pick one (have since learned my lesson). So I picked the twilly. By the time I decided I really ought to have gotten Naked Cherubs, it was gone. And so commenced the moaning and gnashing of teeth. I started searching, occasionally finding one on auction, then dropping the ball again and forgetting to bid, or deciding too late. Too big, wrong color, really want a moussie....wait they want how much for that pocket square???? You know how it goes. Occasionally I would see a Jaquard listed, put in a watch list and ponder....
That's how this one came about. It had been sitting in my watch list for some time and I had played a silly game on my phone and received this fortune "You will find something you don't need at a price you can't resist" and I was like "story of my life!"
The next day I got not an 8% Ebay bucks offer, not a 10% eBay bucks offer, but a 15% offer, and of course, my mind immediately went to the overpriced Amours jacquard scarf.
It was wrinkled and dirty, and so generally of questionable condition from the pics. But hey! That's pretty much like issuing a direct challenge to me (hold my beer!), you know??? I made a lowball offer (because of said condition, and told the seller why) and well, here it is! I figured I'd have my work cut out for me to clean it up and was not mistaken.
I know Croisette is my twin on this one, and I haven't looked to see what year it might be from, so if anyone knows, I'd love to hear!
Pre-cleaning: is that dirt or just wrinkles?????

Usually I am not all that drawn to this kind of blue, but with the pale green border and all the darker details, I think it works well.
Thank you for letting me share another cringeworthy episode of "Can You Even Fix That???" (mostly, yes, but it took every trick I had and 3 washes....)
Congrats Luccibag! Great foto with your parrot!This is my grail scarf. It's an Annie Faivre design in my favorite color way. It's extra special because a dear friend gave it to me

It's beautiful, ksuromax... congratulations!
This colorway looks very "wintery" to me, so I think it's perfect for the design.
Have you decided which bag you'll carry with it?
Thank you, dear Elaine!It's beautiful, ksuromax... congratulations!

reds mainly, to connect to the berries, Cabat, Cervo hobo, Pillow in silver, i don't have any light blue, and i need yet to see the cw irl, but i guess darker blues will be also fine...
Oh, yes indeed, I can definitely see it with your gorgeous red bags!Thank you, dear Elaine!
