Wow! I just know that you paint that frog by yourself. Is it oil color or water color? I mean it's dreamy it looks like a watercolor to me, but then again, I know nothing about art. :(

Your mini is not only cute, but beautiful.

Thank you! The frog is painted in water soluble oil paint. The mini is in acrylic.

I made a quick trip to the mall to pick up my package from the forwarder. It is my SLG purchase in October - preloved Marc Jacobs All In One Crossbody in taupe, actually more like a WOC. The left photo shows actual color better. The chair on the right photo is really green, but ever since they changed to LED lights in the office, it almost always photographs as blue. Btw, this clutch or woc or crossbody or whatever has leather interior lining.

I really like this one. It is very chic. Enjoy this lovely bag. You are right I think I had posted that mini. Sorry! I was just lazy and posted the first mini that showed up in my camera roll to show her I do paint mini's.

I think you can ask Marco or Colette to recommend a leather for you. I told Marco I wanted cream/beige leather and voila, he offered a great one! Oh, and I just remembered now, I think somebody got a Wine lambskin leather for her Soulmate (??). Again that was a special order. I think wine with light gold will look really elegant!



I am excited for you too about your new house!!





I think if I were in the US where there is a more active second hand bag market, I would be more in trouble. There are some bags I am excited to get, but after 2 or more uses, I'm done with it. :nogood:

Ah... I'm sure if I live in the States, I'll be in much trouble. It's so much easier to shop and sell stuff. I'll never be able to save up for anything.

I think when I'm ready, I'll contact them about my order. From thread, they seems to be a very nice people. I'm getting giddy. :) But I'm trying to be good. Only 2 more months to go and it's a new year. Well, I know I said I'm considering a no-buy for the first 6 months, but when I'm giddy like this.. Oh... Well... :)

I really want to show you girls the place. :) I'm locked in a seminar until Wednesday evening so I can't make it any faster than that. I mean I'm kinda obsess with it a little bit now. :)

It's a beautiful bag! I like the proportion and it's a different shade from your Zhoe Legend. :) And they look different, too. If it's possible, could you please show the inside shot? I'm just curious. :)

Your pictures are beautiful and I like the cheery mood that come with them. :)
I'm trying to learn water color painting, but I'm totally bad in art. So, I bought a table calendar, the small one that will have you do different activities on each day on each page months ago. This one is all about water color painting and comes with cubes of water color and small brush. I found it on clearance at my local bookstore. I still have it in a seal. :(

Seminar/workshop once again this week so I'm in my Borboleta Affair Lyla tote. I'm getting bored carrying this bag to the workshop, but it's soft and pliable with lots of compartments and I don't have to worry about getting it bump into things and I can stash everything in it. But I'm just bored and my Bal Work can't be worn over the shoulder. Today, I feel like it's funny that I'm complaining like I only have one bag in a closet. But well, I guess I just really want to switch out my bag.

What do you do when you want to pick out a next bag from your closet to wear?

I pick it out and plan a week's worth of outfits. Haha.
This week is still my Neverfull, but I'm going to switch to Bally next week so I don't get handbag restless.

Just get a small sketch book and start doodling. The more you sketch the better you get.

It's not unusual for me to buy 3 bags in a month. It is unusual for me to spend $4K on 3 bags in a month! I bought the LV, the Mulberry, and this beauty from Pedro Garcia.

Coming back to the handbag side of tpf. I don't know why I even bother venturing out, too crazy out there if you actually have your own opinion.

So this week I am continuing with my mon monogram, then will change over to another tote.

I feel like winter is a tote season for me. I like the option to carry my layers somewhere when the weather decides to switch from cold to hot.

Do you all have seasons for your bags?

I like totes in the winter, summer I like my small bags. Spring & fall I can wear anything. Haha.

Yes, I have seasons for certain bags. In winter I use mostly dark bags that can hold up to severe weather. In summer I can wear lighter colored bags because I am not wearing the dark denim I wear the rest of the year.
