Tourbillon

Christiane Vauxelles, re-issue, 1998

Everytime I look at the mushroom scarf I think that is my favourite, but this is the scarf that is probably closer to my heart. I am very fond of anything to do with flowers, plants or trees, and in particular autumn leaves.. because my birthday is in autumn. :) :)

This swirl of leaves, it seems to me that often my mind is just the same. I hope always that though my mind may be swept in a whirl, that my life may be as colourful, lively and beautiful as these leaves.

The "Hermès - Paris" is not part of the design, but is discreetly boxed at the bottom of the scarf, neat and elegant.

The tiny copyright is at the edge of a yellow heart-shaped leaf, surrounded by brighter maples.

This was taken in brighter lighting than the other photos. The warmth and vibrancy of this scarf's design just radiates in the light.

Since you went away, the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song.
But I miss you most of all, my darling,
When autumn leaves begin to fall.
