Day 3 I did get one mousseline though hoped for the Beverly Hills one which never resurfaced again. Day 2 I found these pretty grey boots, and the Minuit was found on Day 1. I agree with MYH it seemed the stock was better Day 1 and 2. I hope to hear how today ( last day was for tofers).
I went to the sale twice - once for the private sale and once on Friday in the late afternoon.
The private sale was a blast - I arrived with a friend; we were about 12 to 15 people from the front. Looking a second time I realized that everyone in front of us, save one, was a TPFer. Then a woman that I had met when shopping arrived - she was directly behind us. It really made the time go by quickly being able to enjoy chatting while we waited.
I went straight to jewelry - get there and realize...there is no one there! I ended up with an XL clic clac, an enamel bangle that I loved and wanted for awhile. Also got 2 lacquer Ano BI-color cuffs.
Scarves were a little disappointing when we arrived, but then I realized that as more were being put out, there were different patterns included. I was thrilled to find a Zebra Pegasus, the only one that I saw. Also got a CSGM in P du Vent, again the only one that I saw. Suddenly, Beverly Hills moussies popped up so I got one of those; also got a 70 cm and a scarf ring.
I weeded things out a few times and was quite proud of myself for being so discriminating. A trip to the cash register proved me wrong!
Somewhere I heard that they were going to restock jewelry on Fri afternoon after 3 pm, so I showed up again. Told myself that I would pick up a request for a friend, but didn't need anything more myself.
The line wasn't bad at 3:45 - I was probably about 15 back from the door. After I was there for about 10 minutes, I realized that there was a bunch of people in line behind me. We had to wait for shoppers to leave before we could get in. Took about 45 minutes standing in cold gale-force winds. But the worst part - no one fun to talk to! The people in front of me wanted to sue H for not publicizing the sale. An amazing number of people came to the sale because they saw the windows announcing it as they walked by.
I went straight to the jewelry, where there was another line - maybe 20 min or so. When I finally for inside the rope line, I was met by my SA from Day 1 who yelled "Welcome back" to everyone's amusement. Then she want nuts when I told her my name, which she shouted repeatedly, even when I was gone from Jewelry but came into her sight.
The Jewelry had indeed been re-stocked. There were lots of clic clacs, but very limited colors. There were lots of bangles, but the ones I has seen on Day 1 were pretty much gone. Lots more lacquer necklaces and more leather overall, but most of the smaller - Micro Rivale and Be Hapis - were gone. More KD Extreme, but almost all were blue and orange.
Scarves had definitely been re-stocked. 90s were almost entirely different than on Day 1 and had been given more counter space. Way more CSGMs, they had one of each on display on a rack so they weren't being pawed over. I got a lovely Plume (scarf not bag!) - the Plumes were kept behind the counter with the exceptionals, so they were pristine.
Bumped into SM again - he said that Wed had been a huge day, Thurs was rather light - maybe due to the rain - and Friday was a good day, too.
I ended up with. bateau Fleuri 90, a fuchsia Plume,another XL clic clac for me and the one that my friend had requested - a lovely red.
I got lots of nice things, but having a big, fun TPF group on Day 1 was definitely the best part!!

Sorry to have missed you! Wow, you got some wonderful things! What cw of ZP and Bateau Fleuri? And I'm mighty jealous of your BH moussie!! I would've snapped that up in a heartbeat, too!
You have such lovely things, MYH!! I have been able to pick up several pairs of gloves at Paris sales - I love wearing them, they are so amazingly soft! It feels like a little secret indulgence - no one else really noticed them but I know that they are awesome -LOL!!
Thanknyou dear luvbolide. What a rush the first day was. I was tuckered out by noon lol.so happy you got a BH mousseline!
And you were right to head to jewelry first to get your first picks! So hard to decide where to go first. I wish there was more room at scarves counter and mens area switched with it. It was impossible to look at the silks in such a narrow space. I agree the most fun was being with fellow tpfers.
Congrats on your haul! Did you see any of the pale pink Tapis CW that morning? Just curious...
Happy to help!
Sorry you did not find anything; it is all about timing for these things, and serendipity. What a great sense of humor that your DH has, and just think he has now let you know there is 7500 to buy you somtheing at the boutique as consolation prize rainneday.
Thank you!
Haha, you are so right! 
I will makes sure he knows that 
Thank you!
Hopefully there will be another west coast sale next year!
OMG people are hilarious! And ridiculous! I would have loved to hear your response.
I went today with my bf and this is my little haul ☺ I've never gone to a Sale before so I wasn't sure what to expect, was number 1 in line for the last day.
But I have a question for you ladies, I didn't see this until I got home, I noticed one of my 90s has 2 marks And since it is a sale item, it's final sale. What do you ladies think I should do? (Is there anything I can even do? Am I stuck with it forever?)

Rainne, we didn't see the pale pink one at all - just the black/bronze one (11), the blue one (02), and the red/steel grey one (13). I was on the lookout for the green (03) one myself, but didn't see it. The other one high on my list was 13, but it didn't love me when I tried it on so I ended up with 02.
Glad to hear you had som success when you went back. I would love to have seen what the "new" scarfofferings were.....particularly the GM C/s!
Mine too but not like that, I'm not even sure what it is, but it is my first silk scarf so I dont know what to do. I guess for a sale item I'm okay with it because I love the scarf and unnoticeable but I would like to get it fixed. This is probably for a different thread but I just wanna say, I feel your pain!
It's my first silk scarf also! I'm semi-okay with it since I know I got it for sale.. but still, even at $200, I would think that there wouldn't be some mark? It looks to me like a ink mark of some kind? Thanks for your input though!! So sad when I noticed it!
