I have one minute..then I have to go out..thanks Elizat..and the rest of you..((hugs)) jones is over..I will plan it out carefully..and...I have officially actually sold some bags..and immediately moved the funds out of my PP account...into my savings account..and am not looking on the Ignes website..I think I am actually doing well..which is making me feel better..funny..selling makes me want to buy less..not more..LOL

Duranie..dear heart..I know you are going through your own version of hell..and this is just adding to the stress and sadness..parting with things we bought that we love is not easy to do..

Sweetie..please..put that GD down..at least for now..you seem to be attached to it..so....sell of the others that you know you can live without first..do it slowly..don't just dump them all...and don't buy anything because it would be self defeating..that's what took me so long to make my list..but I knew which ones I could live without right away..and which were the keepers (less than I thought)...I still have a few that I'm not sure about..so I'm first moving out the "rehome" pile..and then I will be taking it from there..

Honey bunny, what's the point of selling if you are only going to buy more..the situation might turn around soon..and you will a)Regret selling it and b)be able to buy something at a later point..(hmm...good advice..I should follow it..)

I am off and running..I will touch base later..

Thanks so much all of you..I am avoiding TPF a bit..and if HH also runs a sale..I will be off TPF for a bit more..or at least I will try..the spirit is willing..the flesh is weak.

XOXO

Mindy

I am avoiding a bag by allowing myself a make up bag or two! But only in colors I am truly interested in and only 2 unless both colors aren't what I want. That's OK, huh?

I have talked with maria and the make up bags and small leather goods wont be on the sales, they will try to keep the base price as low as possible, so with a sale they would be loosing money. they have thougth it would be better a low price all the year, if not, they need to raise the price thinking about the sales periods. so ther wont be discount for make up cases, not even the tPF 15% discount.
When Maria told me the first price they were thinking about for the big make up case, It seemed high for me and she explained they need this price because at the sales they gave 30% off, and we have always 15% off for tPF. I understood they were in a very small profit range.
after a while and discussing with Ignacio, next time i talked to her she came up with this solution.

I am so bad, i cannot stop obssesing about the BV make up pouch, but it is 310 euros, so I have been back to think about the black AP bespoke I started... and BE is having the free AP promo... so I have emailed jackie if it would be possible to buy the tangerine hold me ( hi Euridice and tloveshim) and having the black AP for free when they produce it for the TME group. if she says yes, then I think i will take the plunge, i would have a beautiful orange hold me and a black AP for a great price... I dont need the hold me nor the AP, but I know if i dont buy the AP the BV make up case will be the one...and for the same price i could get both BEs ( if jackie agrees). i am hopeless... cant be mindful...
If jackie doesnt agree, then I will not buy the black AP . no remorse about the other girls of the bespoke I set , as jackie is doing the AP for the TME group (and free for them). But cannot take myself to pay such a high price for something the others are having for free. am I a bad person for this?, i feel awful ...
But I know if i dont buy the AP, then the BV will call me again as i still need a pouch in black.

ah, newbaglover, I thought I would find you over here. Hmm, that's a tricky question, since your AP would not be stock but a custom order. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

oh wait, the tme midi girls are getting the black AP for free?!? I know you were going to get the bespoke to piggy back on the tme since the leather would be ordered for them....and now you feel you are abandoning the group AP bespoke?

Is it too late to make these changes, though? Has your group for the AP closed? You paid for it? Hmm, Jackie is not out the cost of producing the AP. You are getting the AP anyway, but instead you are paying a good deal more for the hold me. hmmmm

Well, you don't need a BV makeup case for 310 euros. Are you going to have anything left for shopping in Vegas??

hi euridice, I always do the same, buy or think anout buying a tone of things and then came here to rant about my no willpower...
yes the TME girls are having the AP for free and that bugs me a lot. I have not payed for the AP, not even set the bespoke group in BEC, first because I was angry about how she treated Elizat, and then because I wanted to think about paying and comitting. I know the AP group bespoke will go on, as the APs have to be made.
actually I will not pay a lot more money for the hold me, as the AP alone is 130 pounds - 10% and the hold me is 199 pounds- 10%, so the price for my hold me would be 62 pounds.

I still have until august to save for vegas and NY shopping!

I guess that is about what, 120$$? That's not a whole lot extra, I agree. I hope you can join us. But no more BV until you use your bags more, missy!! You can do it, I know. Or, I know, take the amount of the BV makeup bag and order a zillion Ignes makeup bags....that should keep them in business for a while, lol!!

At any rate, I am glad you haven't paid for the AP yet and am glad you're not going to do it unless it's free!!

E, I think I will follow your advice... about the zillion make up bags! lol.

rigth now I want a big and a small set, and one small plus in the limited edition leather. I was going to get one small in blue exterior suede, but I want it to be lined in suede, so i will pass over this one.
maybe an orange one if i go with the hold me? or a lipstick pink?
