Thanks for the encouragement! It looks gorgeous but really big in the picture I saw--I'm only 5'4" and chubby, so I hope it doesn't make me look just enormous!
Don't worry about that, dachsiemama. I am 5'6" and, er...fluffy, too! I tried on the medium Saba and it was really too small. I think the large will be perfect for you.
You're right, Casey is just wonderful; in fact, I had to call Neiman's in Dallas and ask them to cancel their search after finding this one--NM has another really great SA, Jennifer. (NM is still waiting but expects to get some Zebra sabas in, but not many (1 or 2?)--best to get on a waiting list.) These enthusiastic girls (and sometimes guys) seem to love their work, and love people. Casey said she knows you, jburgh, that you're good friends.
I took a trip last month to Chicago and met her face to face for the first time. We do talk on the phone and email back and forth. She is a great gal, and I'd be proud to have a daughter like her.
You know the first thing she said to me when I mentioned the Purse Forum? She said "you ladies are a great group of enablers!" Isn't that the truth!
Yes it is!
I will have to post pictures when the bag arrives--I haven't entered the digital age yet, so it will involve learning how to post them, and asking my husband for his camera expertise, and he's going to be nervous about me obtaining another expensive bag. But he knows I've been sellling off a lot of them, so maybe it will help. But I'll do it for you guys, and put my little dachsie in the picture, too!
It'll be a piece of cake! I look forward to seeing your new bag and your four legged baby.
Cheers,
Donna
