Aquarium - Grand Fonds

While I was in Monte Carlo I took the opportunity after seeing Princess Charlene's lovely wedding dress to visit the aquarium in the same museum - I find watching fish very relaxing and soothing so here are some calming photos - I hope?  It was difficult to capture the fish as they dart around so quickly and hide in the plants!  There were a couple of interesting items for sale in the museum shop and I am sure any Hermes scarf fan will be interested - see the bottom of the post;-)











The Museum shop has 2 special edition Hermes scarves - Grand Fonds by Annie Faivre. 
The price is good too €265 as against €292 for any other 90cm in a H boutique!

New Addition

When I met up with my TPF friends a few weeks ago I left Harrods with the navy ExLibris en Kimono but my heart was still hankering after a lovely pink scarf - I had to give in and as Harrods reckoned they would not be getting any more in stock I ordered this off H.com:-


Another Pegase box but NO
bolduc ribbon of ANY kind!



Ripped tissue paper as well - what's
going on at Hermes? I'm not impressed!



A first peek - think you know?



You guessed - Dame de Coeur

















Being from H.com/France there was no bar code tag thing attached to the label as they always remove them so I have no idea of the colourway names - if anyone knows please leave a comment!
