For those of you who didn't know, Liz is Elizabeth, Adopt-a-Stray, who died back in the summer. Her wicked wit and diplomatic aplomb will be sorely missed by many. Long live Liz!!!!

Hi Peg, any new Dior bags or guns recently??That picture was too funny. You might want to put it here too? It can be the hat thread motto.

Oh no! That's so sad

I'm so sorry to those of you who knew her better than me. I only saw her writings here on tPF and thought she was fab.

And I was so thrilled to find this chat thread back again, the BEST people are in here.
But that news has just blown me away.

I'll return tomorrow (it's v late here anyway)

Expat - Liz had a HUGE heart and she took in all these stray animals (hence the name.) She directed that all her memorials go to an animal shelter nearby where she lived (Calif.) And was very funny and wise, jumping into more than one fray

here to try and diffuse things.
You are a Brit in Tokyo, how is that? I have seen your posts. All I know is the wonderful Sofia Coppola movie "Lost in Translation" and some Japanese literature (like the first known novel, The Tale of Genji by Lady Murisaki ,written in the 11th century!!...)

I took some pics last night and then my camera battery died...it's being charged right now. Did I mention it was only $5.00 at Goodwill?????

She was a great person...and she introduced me to BV too. Now I can't spot a BV without thinking of her.

Hi Bunny

Love thrift stores, esp. if they carry great designer bags for pennies, right?

You bet... I get a lot of my work blouses there too... and they look fine, just someone else didn't need them anymore!

Which thread? I love vintage finds. I'm almost ashamed to admit that I have happily dug through JUNK for the thrill of that one amazing deal!

I went to the Rummage Sale early this year or last year? by a local women's league (maybe even DC's) and found a stained but still useable Coach makeup pouch and a Coach bag for like 30$ for both.

That's amazing :)
I got a 69$ Wedding dress that I used in 2003 but bought in 1999 or 2000 :) It was beautiful, Oleg Cassini, but not sure I have any good pictures of it.
