Fleurs et Raisins

I had a lucky "Buy It Now" find on Ebay this week and here she is a Fleurs et Raisins Plisse!! Worn here in the flower knot with my silver Bolduc scarf ring (Scarf Ring II).

Here worn as a bow using my Bolduc scarf ring.

Here I decide to experiment a little and I simply tied the scarf around the neck and then did a mini Friendship Knot with the ends - I think it looks quite cute!
Here are a few detail shots of the scarf - the pink flowers are roses and lilies and the border has honeysuckle flowers around it.  I like the pink flowers and purple grapes - they are my kind of colours;-)

The scarf features cornucopias of grapes and flowers - as a fan of flowers and of flower arranging I think this scarf was a "must" for me.  As with all plisse scarves, it is interesting to see how different the scarf looks tied/worn compared to stretched out - the red in the outer border (which you can see in the photos above) becomes quite predominant and the yellow grapes seem to feature heavily!
