Recent Acquisitions 3

For years I have coveted the Christmas Scarf by Dimitri Rybaltchenko Noel au Faubourg 24.   I have watched and watched AND watched on Ebay for this design so I was delighted when I finally found it in plisse form and in PINK!  I love this pink version (although I think THE one to have is the turquoise)  and being a plisse has the added benefit that you cannot really see that it is a Christmas scarf so you can wear it any time -especially as it is pastels it works any time!  I got his from a Japanese seller so I did have to pay some import tax on it but the price was still no more than you would pay here for a new scarf.  Also plisses are no longer made by Hermes so I was even more happy to have another plisse.
The snow globe containing the Christmas scene at FSH including tiny shoppers with orange bags!
Some butterfly knots and an equestrian with Half Ascot Knot
Some simple drapes with a scarf ring (oops the Equestrian got in there again!)
And some nice half bows and then in the last photo I just kept threading 
the ends from the half bow into the scarf ring to make a pretty multiple bow.

    Congratulations on moving yet another scarf from "wish list" to "collection". This is one of my favorite patterns as well, and agree that having in the plisse makes it much easier to wear year round. Lovely shade of pink, too.
