My dad sent me an email for a sample sale. I told him there was no way I could go but if he happened to go could he pick me up one of their canvas bags. I am not sure when it comes if I will count it, because I will only use it for sporting events. Do you count bags you wear to gym or out with the kids? I generally count everything except travel bags but since I will be carrying snacks etc in it and will be storing with the travel bags I am not sure how to count it when it comes.
 
Finally she has reached me!! I waited more than 3 months for this. My sister shipped the box (with some other stuff) end of July. But the sea vessel left the US mid Sept. The vessel arrived here October. Then the forwarder had difficulty having the container van released by customs. After a long wait, finally!! I so love how red it is!! This is my Marc Jacobs 54 in Flame Red.

And, I also got the 3rd of my 4 October purchases. I felt contentment when I saw her in the flesh. I had the ebay listing authenticated and when I got her I again requested authentication using my own photos. Here is my Christian Dior Maris Pearl, bought at a great price!

It's funny you asked for canvas bags because the last 2 weeks I've been looking out for really cute ones, even though I have enough from just ones that come with purchases. I don't count them. I want a super sturdy one like Anya hindmarch's I'm not a plastic bag style, when it came out.

That is what I was thinking. I sold the coach Peyton tote because it was just to big for the swim meets and for regular wear I had other black totes I liked better. The canvas bag I am getting I think is a messenger style with pockets. He said it is not to big which will be great . I had looked at the bags before but at full price I would not have bought it as a sport bag. I want something I would not be afraid to put a snack in. My real bags never see any food in them.

I don't think I would count it. I don't count my Longchamp Le Pliage nylon bags because they are intended for utilitarian purposes.

No, I count only "better" bags. But the sad truth is that even if I don't count them I still need space to store these.

Very pretty additions!

I don't count gym bags. Then again, I only have one.
 
I am now preparing my newly arrived red bag for Monday and guess what I realized, it somehow fits my description of the bag I would design - structured (though this is not as structured as I envisioned, but structured nevertheless), 2 zipper pulls at the top and longer zipper track extending about 3 inches on each side. No wonder I love this MJ 54!

And, I don't know if I embarassed myself, I asked the sister in law of my sister if I could hold her Givenchy Pandora. :graucho: I went home to my hometown for a day trip to attend a baby shower for my niece. And there was this beautiful blue Pandora. I saw this in the store, but I was more interested in the Antigona so I snobbed this. But this year, when my Anya Hindmarch maxi zip satchel did not work for me because of the weight, I thought about the Pandora again and how it would be right for trips since it can be carried as crossbody as well. I'm not really close to my sister's SIL but we chat briefly when we see each other on family gatherings. Btw, a report on the Pandora, I could not assess if it was heavy on its own since the bag I held was full. But leather was great!!

I used to count them, but a couple months ago, Bake told me she didn't count her gym bag in and said something about she won't carry it as her purse anymore and that it has a specific function now. I think it's a good way to think so I didn't count mine in.
 
Yesterday and today I am wearing my Libaire backpack. What are you wearing? With various holidays coming are you lusting for something new or are you satisfied?


I wore my new mini bag/clutch for the whole weekend. I can say I'm looking forward to wearing it and just can't wait to take cash, credit card, and driver license to put in a slim wallet and pouch just so I can wear this bag. I'm normally so lazy for switching wallet. I guess it's something we can do for love. [emoji16]

Tomorrow is workshop day again. I'm thinking about taking the Regalo like last time, but I'm not so sure. I may pick something out tonight. :) I'm in a polished mode. [emoji16] So, I guess deep down I want something dressy? I was thinking about wearing my jumbo until I look at my schedule and realize it's workshop day. No jumbo for me. :(
