Hello and welcome to my blog. I am a former school librarian in the UK who retired early due to chronic illness. As I spend most of my days in bed, I cheer myself up by reading escapist fiction on my iPad, planning lovely outfits for those rare occasions when I do manage to go out, doing what I can to help with the running of the household and cultivating my love of bling (especially scarves).
Some years ago I succumbed to the incredible scarf designs of the Hermès collection. If you look down the right hand side of the blog, you will see a list of most of my H scarves. These are the ones that I have written detailed scarf profiles for, called “Scarf of the Moment”.
I wrote about my most recent purchase, a 140cm mousseline scarf called Roseraie, in last week’s post: Friday post 07/06/24: with a fabulous reveal. This week, I am going to show you some very quick modelling photos. When I have the energy, I will try to put the two posts together into a Scarf of the Moment. It will not be quite as detailed as my more recent efforts as the scarf was issued around 1990 and I cannot find a lot of information online. Please let me know if you have anything I could use in the post!
I made a bias fold and just played around with the scarf, draping it around my neck in various ways. The final two photos were attempts to show more of the design. I think it looks lovely with navy and perhaps a silvery grey would work too. If I were fit and glamorous, I would wear it out to dinner with Lovely Husband with a simple plain navy or silver silk dress!
I did wear these earrings (a present from Elder Son a year ago). They are gorgeous, glam and very heavy!
So, that’s all from me this week: Happy Weekend to you all!
Love and best wishes,
Anne

I so enjoy reading your posts and seeing the photos of you with your lovely scarves, all the way from California! I admire how you can remain positive (at least sometimes) in the face of all the challenges that life has sent your way.
The Roseraie scarf was designed by Christiane Vauzelles and released in 1990. She also designed the iconic Cheval Turc and Pivoines scarf designs. My favorite colorway for Roseraei is the navy with yellow roses, but I do not own it (yet). There are two on the US ebay site right now. I have quite a collection of Hermés scarves myself, and I really can’t justify buying too many more. I think you may be just a bit off with your spelling of the Roseraie scarf. Maybe you can find more on line with this spelling.

Dear Astrid, thank you so much for your kind, tactful and informative comment. I feel very ashamed!!! But you were so right to let me know. As soon as I saw your correction, I rushed to put everything right. Yes, I might also be reaching the final stages of collecting, especially new scarves as the prices now are getting really ridiculous. Very best wishes, Anne X

I just noticed I made two spelling errors in my post to you, so don’t feel ashamed! I also misspelled Roseraie once myself, and I wrote “on line” instead of “online”.
