March tallies good on bags and SLGs, terrible on scarves though 
Handy couple of pics of violet and pink bags:
Top left = Gucci lizard Hysteria (metallic gold leather lining)
Below Fuchsia Gucci small Interlocking (pink leather lining and shw)
Looks quite big in first pic but see size below, little but proper bag, totally love this bag (and I'm normally not a chain gal)
Totally cheating, but just showing all new to H scarves how you can make them into bags. This pink gavroche was tuned into an evening bag for the ballet with a croc Romance 'handle'. Inside keys, mini card holder and lip balm.
I also have a blush pink Paul Smith briefcase I use for work in Summer, I haven't started using it yet this year. It has little rabbits for turn-locks on the pockets.

VE is a dark aubergine bag (pref BV). First brand to deliver on this request get my money (all usual conditions apply).

Oh Gawd...here I go again with the wacky empty posts. But really, this new format ... which is now old but I was a low quoter for a long time ... doesn't seem to always show the quote on my IPad but says "addd to multiquote" and posts. Sorry. I'll try to mend my ways or something.
Anyway papertiger ... your bags are always so interesting along with being simply wonderful. Love the Gucci right there ... and the style!
I carry an Envirosac in my bag everyday and never thought about its lack of waterproof qualities. Cute story (except for the hospital part) and so relatable.
That banner across the top today really took me in at first. April fool me!

March tally:
In - 2 (Japan bought goodies)
Out - 0
Scarves: 5 in!!
YTD tally:
In - 4
Out - 4
I just wish I get more sales! I have 5 listed in ebay and they have not moved since this year. Looking at my net total, I am still good. After I got the 2 bags in Japan I said to myself no more bags for the rest if the year, but I don't think I can make it so I've not declared a ban, just a pause.

I agree with you on the wish for more sales. I'm not selling my nicer items even though they're pristine and I now have them listed at 5% under previous solids. I'm selling the crappy items I almost donated because I felt they might not be worth listing. Can't figure it out.
And, I'm glad you listened to yourself on pause v ban. You'll be happier and more successful than if you were forcing yourself one way or another.
I don't think I'll ever go on a real ban. As long I do a general pre-planning of what I want to buy during the year, pause hard and critically assess each individual purchase, I make good decisions that I don't regret. It's when I do impulse buys that things fall apart. This is a relatively new approach for me (2-3 years) but it's working very well. I'm finally getting away from the impulse item in / impulse item out merry go round I was on.
I actually think I'm one of the few people who would say TPF has saved me money. This thread definitely keeps me disciplined.
And, I see people doing money draining things I know I did and would have continued doing: buying multiple substitutes instead of the one bag I want, never using some bags, buying a bag that looks good but doesn't work for me...
Without TPF and my pocket friends, I know I would have at least 20-30 more bags that I didn't want or need. So I'm grateful for the sanity check I get here.
April 1 and my no spend month is over!! 
I'm still irritated with my Super Spendy BFF for bailing almost immediately since this idea was for her benefit. 
I kept going and...hated it. I like budgets, not bans.
But, I survived using 2 exceptions. By the end of the month I think I was just beaten into submission. I went everywhere with a bottle of water, a snack and a physical book to avoid little temptations.
I did keep going with jewelry fun. I just didn't pay for anything til month end. (Loophole!) I think my jewelry addiction is everyone else's scarf addiction. I modified a necklace to add a diamond and just picked it up. It made a huge difference. Much more sparkly! And I do like sparkle. LOL! And, I placed the order for my custom pendant. Can't wait to see it!

It really IS a shopping bag too ... a uuuge orange Louie Louie paper bag that can take a load of Stuff on the way out. I peek into its cavernous maw every so often to be sure I'm really done with the bags in there. So far so good ... they're over, bless their hearts, I've just got to find their next resting place.
PaperTiger - I like your scarf bag! It's very cool! I'm also glad to hear your mom gets better. It's s progress, right? 
My March Tally is so so
Bag - in 1, out 1
SLG - in 2, out 0
Quite simple for me.
BTW, I think I discover one thing about myself. Maybe I can live without a wallet. I'm now moving all my cards to another pouch. And only stash cash in the corner wallet. It seems to work out fine. I may be able to live without a new wallet, after I have to retire this one, and be able to get my misc cute pouch some good use!

Yeah... I dig through my overflow closet to get my black bags and found some more greens. [emoji28]
I bought the army green Kipling last year and it's been a very good traveling bag. I don't know why I forgot it during the green week. I didn't even think of it at all last week, but I know I'd pull it out as usual when it's time for a trip. It's now my first choice when I travel. And I know I have the Venetia, but forgot to put her in with the group shot.
