Yep, that makes sense. My eldest say your frog painting is beautiful[emoji5]️
I wonder how the artist painted pics that need magnifying glass to observe its details. Must be a painstaking process.

Do you always prefer SHW? Or is it because silver suits the design or color better?
I usually prefer matte GHW or brass, silver being my least favored. Though oxidised silver is absolutely gorgeous on cooler tone bags.
Thank you so much for the photo!
The leather looks so chewy in the photo. It's a very lovely bag. I think maybe the midi is a better size then. I'm only meaning for the generic magazine. Nothing special. I figure that magazine is the biggest book I usually tote around in my bag so if it fits the magazine, there shouldn't be any problem fitting in other type of books. I'm very firm on the longer front flap. I just have to fill in all the compartments.
I don't want a stiff leather so I don't think I'll get it in calf. I can deal with color, but not the stiff leather. Um.... Maybe he can source me the leather? You asked him to source you a special color, right? But if I get it in wine color, the HW will definitely be a light gold one. The view is really great.
I'll definitely share the photo. I'm not in a hurry to move in though. I still need to work on redecorate and do some adjustments to it first. Plus, I'll have to wait for the owner to move out and everything. So, very likely with all the holiday that may affect my contractor, I don't expect to be able to move in within this year. 
But at least, I know I've got it in my pocket. 
Please please please do the review of the Merino Soulmate. Even though I like the texture of the Pebble, Merino still get me curious.
He must have a very steady hand to do such tiny detailed work. One scene was a beach and the woman had a tiny detailed bathing suit on that you could barely see until you put the magnifying glass to it.
I am glad your eldest liked my frog. I have to wrap him up and ship him out soon.
It is not that I prefer silver hardware but my new frye boots have silver hardware and are kind of rugged looking so I thought silver would look more edgy with those.

Wow! That's a list you've gone though.
I was seriously shopping my closet so I would not shop at the stores. I wanted to have October with no purchases.
Amazing on the details! Have you ever tried to paint in this manner?
Totally understand on the hardware matching business. I do it too, I admire the ladies that are savvy with mismatching hardware. I could never do it, am too set in my ways.
Mismatching SLGs, different matter. Much prefer a variety rather than a similar motif. That gets too monotonous for me and pops of color makes me smile when I reach in my bag for something.
I don't know much about LV price, but the condition is indeed excellent! It's just meant to be and your patience really does pay off.
(And I think the price must be very good, too, otherwise, you may not wait this long? ) I like the happy ending story like this. So, how many slot you have left on your 12 seats? Or you decide to skip that already? I'll definitely update on my plan about redecorating the new place.
Now, I have all the picture floating in my head. It's very sudden that everything just magically fall into place. We found the place, we made an offer, and the offer got accepted. I mean all of a sudden, I feel like really?!? I'm not really prepare for it to happen this soon. We was thinking maybe it'll take about a year to find one that fit. And out of nowhere, we found this place. And we don't want to leave it hanging in the market for too long. It's not the peak time, but who knows. Ah... That movie is scary. It gives me chill vibe and I just don't want to watch it again.
I can stand zombie movie, but nothing about ghost since I'm kind of afraid that one night, when I wash my face, I may look up from the sink and find someone look at me from the mirror. :s DD definitely had fun at school.
She already declared a couple years ago that Halloween is her favorite day since she gets all the candies. DH is a health nuts and he doesn't want her to eat too much chocolate and candies, while I let her have some of those sometimes coz I want to have one myself. I love my chocolate. What can I do? Halloween is the day she gets lots of candies without DH making a serious face to us. And we get to eat them, too. I am exactly the same as you. I like hardware on shoes bags etc to match or compliment each other , but wallets do not have to match they just must look nice together preferably with a pop of color. I do some small paintings but not with super realism .
October was a big spendy month for me. 3 bags in (I think it's just 3!) and 2 listed for sale but not out yet. I did give one to my mom, so I guess that's one out. I have several more to list too. I'm not huge on SLGs, I rarely buy those.
Congrats on the house, vink!

Back to bags now. Pacolina we all have months that more come in then go out. The main thing we have discovered is that as long as we really use them it is not the end of the world. My problem was I not using them all , which has now changed. Congrats on your beautiful new bags.
My October recap is
1 bag in, 0 bag out.
0 SLG in, 0 SLG out.
I got a reply on the house and we got it!!!The contract will be signed next week and hopefully the renovation and interior can start after that. I'm not looking for a total makeover. Just something like a tweak to make it match my liking. We still have my current condo for a current living. I'll have to go over this so many many times!!! I'm excited!!!
(Just thinking of moving the furniture get me nervous. I'll have to get over this.)
Awesome!
Great job rotating!
Pretty!
I like the frog!
The mini paintings are cool too!
