  2. I've really wanted one of those Hermes rings ever since I first saw all the things Mai Tai did with hers. Do you find it a useful ring, DP?

  5. Just beautiful and even more special because it belonged to your grandmother. Is it silk chiffon?

  6. I love the scarf ring -- so elegant -- but is it bad it makes me think of something we used to use on our extra-long t-shirts back in the '80s? :-)

  7. That colour is so rich. It makes me think of butternut squash soup. It seems I am hungry. Well, your scarf is delicious.

  8. Vintage is even better when a peice comes with a provenance.
    Perfect color for Fall.

  9. Kalee - thank you! You're too kind.

    Marsi - actually yes, I find this is my most-used scarf ring. The horn material is quite light, so it stays in place, and the color is neutral enough to wear with just about any scarf.

    Rita - thank you! Having a scarf ring or two really does expand the styling options.

  10. materfamilias - thanks, this one has not yet been to Paris. I may take it along on this trip.

    Lisa - thank you. Yes, it's a very light silk chiffon. The scarf is at least 45 years old, maybe older. But it's holding up well!

    WendyB - oh you're right! I remember those!

  11. LBR - thanks! I love that ochre color, which for some reason is looking brighter yellow on my monitor than it actually is.

    Belle - thank you. And yes, this scarf will always be special, but I'm especially glad it's in my favorite colors.
