Thank you! I don't get to cut into it until dinner... but then I'll also have some tomorrow morning for breakfast. Believe me, I usually eat very sensibly, but this is a birthday tradition!

Hi, not planing on shopping on my own collection 2019, but stationary, paper, pens, journals, inner 5 year old- I urgently want to join. May I?
aaaaaaaaah dear Lord, too stupid I am! Thank you, will head over to 2019 now
My preferred weight is up to a kilo (2.2lbs). I just measured this and it weighs 2.4 lbs. I had a bag at same weight before and I managed fine.
Thanks. I think bag weight starts to really be a problem once they get over 3 pounds. Depends on how you carry it, too (shoulder, arm, crossbody).
I received the bags I counted in last month and my daughter bought me this little pouch. It is not really a bag and it is to big to be an slg. I might use it as a large wristlet from time to time because I have wristlet straps I bought from Etsy for the black one I have like this. These are great for going for a quick dinner where the food is a bit messy etc.

Lovely buttery leather
Thank you! It's my favorite bag I need to get rid of, haha.
I haven’t found an organizer I like yet that zips shut. But even if I did, I’m not sure it would solve the problems with this particular bag. Yes, annoying!
I think just discussing it on this thread has helped me decide to just cut my losses on this one!
I love when just talking something through helps get to a decision.
Happy birthday, Elaine! Your cake sounds scrumptious!I love the Jane Austen quotation!
Your notebooks are charming... not at all childish. This, mind you, coming from the fully adult woman who is picking up her birthday cake today: chocolate, with vanilla buttercream frosting, and pink roses!
I really like this one. Very tranquil and cozy.

Very pretty!
Woooo - leave tPF for a couple days and look what happens!
@ElainePG - Happy birthday! Your cake sounds delish and I personally think everyone should eat birthday cake for breakfast! Why not?!
@catsinthebag - it sounds like you've made the correct decision! Buh-bye purse that doesn't stay shut!
It seems like everyone had a marvelous Christmas/Holiday - i did as well. My kids were all thrilled and that was all that really mattered to me.
I looked over my goals for 2018.
A black everyday purse. Didn't find, so a goal for next year too. The Gucci is darling and I love it but it is not an 'everyday' bag. I really do need 2 black bags that I consider everyday - otherwise I wear the same black bag over and over… That was my Loewe (still sad I had to return it), and is now the LV Lockme Bucket. I had written that I thought I wanted a Kelly - and I *think* I still do, but I have the same feelings about it. My biggest fear about it is that it will be too fiddly. I like easy-peasy (which would be a B, but no shoulder strap there, so Nope) purses… but oh my - I love those lady-like elegant bags! So, still looking for that HG Kelly - the right color, the right condition (because I'm going Pre-loved) and the right price.
Okay to get a bag if I love it. I bought several purses this year, and then discovered I didn't love them. So I turned around and sold or donated several of them.
Stop buying scarves due to Sales Goggles - well - I tried. Next year.
Sell scarves I'm not wearing - a work in progress. I did sell 17 this year, I hope to sell a few more in 2019. Since I do keep a spreadsheet for them, I know which ones should go.
My spreadsheet for my purses was interesting - this was the first time I'd ever done that.
I'll do it again next year to see if there are changes.
It showed me that I don't wear my beloved black bags as much in the summer as I thought, but in the cooler months, it's hard to get me out of them. I love my Just Campagne Confort 1 - love the leather, love the color. I have looked at other bags in this color and thought "Nah - I have the Confort - it's perfect!". My H Vespa was my 3rd most worn bag - it is a perfect summer casual, and just the right size. The H Drag 2 was 4th - I think it would get more wear if it had a shoulder strap… but I do love it so it's not going anywhere.
I've really enjoyed this thread, and look forward to joining y'all for 2019!
Thank you! It is titled Quiet Reflection.

it's lovely!
you'll like it, i am sure, it's lightweight, washable, and eases the process of switching from one bag to another!
