I got one of these at home depot for my 36" closet shelf, and put it on its side, with the bottom flush against the wall:

It's cheap. Not a permanent elegant solution but very workable. I don't invest a lot of money in closets.
The bottoms of the shelves are not finished, so I put the bags in their dustbags to protect them. It gives me a bottom shelf with 3 cubes and an extra thin tall section (the leftover space in the closet), then an open top shelf for taller bags. I can fit 8 coach penny purses in one cube! The upper shelf is a little bit of a squeeze through the closet door, but it's manageable.
Hey, BS has new handcream! Will have to check that out.
Didn't cave! But the bag was also gone cuz it ended up changing to extra 30 per cent off!!! But I'm happy I didn't buy it - self high-five haha
I'm looking at shelf dividers but wanted other options as well.
I'll check out the container store.
Thanks.
And I do like the cork board idea but I have no where to hang it
Ooh this is doable too. Plus those shelves are inexpensive. I'll have to see what bags could fit in the cube.
Great job!
Awww thank you so much Mimmy
you are so sweet, yes she is in a better place. My one friend who lost her dog Bella a couple years ago told me that Koda and Bella are probably eating steaks and running through a sunny field in doggy heaven. That thought makes me very happy and yeah it makes me cry too a bit . I am feeling much better today, throat still sore but at least I can eat and swallow without to much pain, hoping to be right as rain tomorrow hey everyone! wow, i can't keep up w this thread, but i'm thrilled there's so much support to help us all stick to our resolutions.
for those who recently lost a furry loved one, JennyErin, clevercat, i'm sooo sorry. :cry: sending you my thoughts and prayers. *hug* our dog (just turned 5) is the apple of my eye, and for now, i'm going to live in denial that she's not immortal. i'm just going to enjoy every day i have w her and not think that far ahead. she's the first pet of any kind that my husband and i have had, so we're really attached.
thanks for posting all of the pictures! i love seeing the bags, SLGs, bag contents, etc.
since i was feeling a bit restless, i changed out my wallet (which only happens about once/year? LOL) to a longer slim MJ leather metallic rose gold zippered clutch (from a smaller MJ french style wallet). MJ wallets are workhorses! i've got 3 total and they can all take a beating. i don't baby my wallets at all and tend to use the same one daily for a LONG time. i'll post a pic when i get a chance.
as for storage, how about buying those hanging clothes organizers? i use one of them for some of my purses.

if you only have the top shelf above a closet rod, how about these shelf dividers? i was thinking about buying some to help keep my folded clothing stacks neat.

Awww thunder thank you so much! Your pup sounds precious
and can't wait to see your wallet in action! Love seeing MJ wallets! You can do it egg! Stay strong!
Good job just picking up the jacket lou and woo hoo on the sale! I wouldn't be to hard on yourself if you have credit you want to use it and at least you will fully research before committing to anything, that's awesome!
Just popping in for a catching up.
JennyErin and Clevercat I'm so sorry about the loss of your furry friends. Think of all the good times you spend together. I hope you will feel better soon.
Beautiful beautiful bags everyone. So much eye candy...
... Regarding the Ritter candy: the white chocolate with hazelnuts is our favorite at the office. I'm glad that my colleague is much faster than myself. I get two pieces and she eats the rest. 😉

Thanks for the RM Wine MAM love ladies! I agree with other RM fans that Wine leather is one of the most amazing leathers used by RM.
My two cents on comparison between older and newer RMs. I got crazy over RMs in 2013 (same time I discovered tpf). I've had both older and newer MAMs and I can definitely say I love the older (until around 2010) MAMs more. The leather and quality were just topnotch. My older ones were naturally pre-loved, but despite the age, you could tell the leathers were high class. My favorite combination/release of MAM is that with lambskin leather and engraved hardware (around 2008/2009). Very elegant!
I've been downsizing my RM collection lately and it was harder to let go of preloved beauties than the more recent brand new purchases.

Then that bag was really not meant to be! I also have to learn how to walk away.
I bought it in New York City last year at the M0851 boutique . It is a Canadian company. This one is what they call their Matador leather.
Lou- Congrats on not buying a bag.
Cupcake- when you carry your pochette do you carry it like a clutch. I actually took mine out to use but did not feel like holding it ,so it went back in the closet.
Egg- Congrats on not getting the bag.
Bake - I was looking at your burberry online and it said pvc and leather. Is it not a coated canvas? I love the dark leather on it.
Jenny- The dogs running in a field in doggy heaven is how I envision my dogs that passed too.

Ohh, a Vince jacket; which one is it? I passed on a black leather, moto one last year and still kind of regret it.
Great job on consigning your bag, and getting more than expected lou!
Great job on resisting the bag that wasn't there! But seriously great job, because you didn't buy another bag either.
I am up early today because I need to resume my yoga routine. I am feeling better; don't think I'll have a coughing fit during class.
