Thank you to everyone who is rejoicing with me about the house! :biggrin: sorry I can't go back and quote everyone.

Dc I think you asked about the house. It's a smallish 3/2 with a screened in back porch. It's vaguely gable/cottage style, which is as close to my dream cottage look as I'll get in south florida lol. I'm very very excited to make this house our own!!

Just finished signing the paperwork and I am now officially a homeowner!
This is GREAT news! I'm so happy for you and your DH!!!

Omg Congrats! It sounds like a dream . You will have so much fun decorating. I am just bursting with happiness for you.
 
This is such a sleek & sophisticated tote! I'm so excited for you!

I think it's normal that when we get a "must have bag" we overthink it the first day. We worry about leather, stitching, scratches on hardware... just any old thing because we desperately want it to be "right". But usually that calms down and we need up adoring our must haves. :smile: And I'm sure that's what will happen as soon as you wear her!

I wouldn't worry too much about the handles. I've looked at this tote quite a bit resale and haven't seen any with tearing, ripping or fraying at the handles.

Is marine black or a very dark navy?
I guess I was overthinking this bag. It's now with me at the office, I'm so happy! Except for the padding I had to put in to get the shape I want. But this will be solved by the right organizer which I will order after the Christmas rush. This is dark navy. It was night time when I snapped that photo, so maybe that's why it looked a bit too black.

Don't ever be afraid to use your bag! If it creases or dents, it's part of the bag!
I'll keep this in mind!! I never had this feeling with my other bags, I don't know why it was different with this bag. You have made a good point. And definitely no offense taken. Frank remarks keep me grounded and I appreciate them.

Received my Coach Taylor tote and it is a keeper. Light weight and beautiful evenly pebbled leather.
Another one of your beautiful totes DC! Congrats!

Liz - what happy happy news!! Best wishes to you, your hubby and the house!
 
I feel sometimes I might be seen as pushy or something, so rather than argue, I prefer people just ignore me lol.



Exactly! We are lucky/blessed to be able to enjoy such beautiful things, we should enjoy them beyond letting them sit in closets and drawers.
I think u are loveable. It's rare to find tough love nowadays [emoji1]

Yay! Congrats!!!
 
Everyone, never be afraid to enjoy what you have.

Scratches, creases, dents, smudges, stains, whatever.


These are things. Things meant to be enjoyed!!

Life is unpredictable. Enjoy everything that makes you happy.

What good is a pristine bag sitting on the shelf?


On the flip side, what good is a bag/item/person that makes you unhappy or stressed. Life is too short, let it all the things that weigh you down go.

I had pretty devastating news brought to me not too long ago. It hit home that life is crazy unpredictable and as long as everything is in your means and brings no harm to others, enjoy everything. You don't know what will come up in the future.

I should take it by heart. Everytime I read about bags that get me nervous, the first bag spring to mind is the lambie Jumbo Minosa with light GHW. It gets on my nerve. I should brave my heart and use it more. It really deserve to see more light outside the closet.

Thank you for the reminding and I hope you can overcome the bad news! :)
