Ooh... now, I need it on my table, too. [emoji16] What’s the name of that tree again? Please...... [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

Lol! Scientific name is Pachira aquatica as mentioned by @ipsum. But I have to warn you, I have yet to see mine bear fruit. :biggrin:

Btw, I think you had an earlier post about winter coats/outfit. A few weeks ago I just bought myself a thick coat (on sale from an Italian high fashion brand here) and a not so thick one from Marks and Spencer! So 2 coats in maybe 2 weeks with no scheduled cool/cold weather travel soon!! What was I thinking?! :confused1::amazed: Oh, and I already restrained myself from getting a 3rd one, a thick jacket, from Promod.

Layover in the airport. :-s Please tell me what sense it makes to fly from Nassau to Baltimore to Dallas. :annoyed:

I think I may have found a red lamb Chanel to replace my red caviar. It's double flap which isn't perfect since I prefer single flap. But the color may actually be better for me. And the price is great.

I need to do a little more recon. Wish me luck. It would be great to find something now and be able to sell the red bag I have during Valentine's Day season.

Good luck

A day later than I planned, but here are some photos of my new BV Chain Tote! Yesterday was gray and snowy and it was too dark to take any good photos. Thank goodness the days are going to start getting longer now — here in New England, the sun has been setting so early it’s dark at 4:30 pm! There was some sunshine today, however, so better for taking pics.

Between the comfy shoulder straps and the interior organization, I expect I’ll be using this one a lot! No mod shots yet as I spent the day in my sweats.

Ohhh you’re really enabling me with these sneak peeks [emoji7]. Thanks for the info and pics. Is this the medium or large size?
Enjoy her in good health [emoji173]️

Ha ha. [emoji16] Thanks! I’m off to check if we have that tree here. [emoji16]

And this is the jacket that tempt me [emoji28]

Totally not my usual style, so I doubt that I’ll wear it if I get to go anywhere. But I kinda like that fringe-y fur. [emoji28] Not to mention how similar I’ll look like a bear in it. [emoji28]

***add*** We have that tree! The local name means good luck. People like to braid the trunk to make it stand up straight. Very interesting. [emoji848]

Seems like I have sold a bag! :shocked: I am going to say goodbye and pack it up in the evenning. I am excited but also a bit sad at the same time. There are good reasons for letting it go - and the buyer seems nice - but I still remember the excitement when I bought it...

Congrats on the sale. I understand the sadness, though. I always have mixed feelings when I send a bag off — glad for the sale, but sad that it didn’t work out in the long run.

I gave away a bag already in December and one in November. I feel good about that since several are coming in still. But after tomorrow only one trade bag arriving Thursday and one bag I ordered in October probably not coming until January. After that I get to prove to myself that I can be happy with 30 bags and not buying more, even if nothing is still on its way.
I could maybe give a couple more away. But really I don't feel stress about the size of my collection because I change every day and therefore use everything once a month, in rotation. That seems somehow OK to me. That's how many outfits I have so why not bags?
