Finally getting some wear on one of my newest babies. First bag of this month's challenge! 
I think he is not earning well enough so the business is not sustainable. He tried looking for an investor but no luck so far. He is considering something like a kickstarter campaign and everyone in the thread is very hopeful that he’ll be able to open his business again in one form or another.
He does beautiful work.
I hope he gets a fresh start. He was so popular on tPF but I wonder if he had trouble getting momentum more broadly?
This is a gorgeous sight! I love it all-the bag, the pen, the colorful scarf. Thank you so much for tagging me so I could see this sooner!Tagging @Miss_Dawn @essiedub @ElainePG @catsinthebag @tealocean @Nibb for a pen photo, apologies to anyone I missed
Here is today's bag, my Chanel Black Reissue 226 Aged Calfskin RHW, H Clic Clic A Pois Maxi Twilly and S. T. Dupont Liberte Ball Point Pen in Pearly Nude.

I have to admit that I was the one that always started the "hot spots". I had to make myself stop, and I still have to remind myself not to create out of sight "hot spots". I used to put out signs for myself on every flat surface with funny sayings and "Stop!" I'm so excited that I have stuck to keeping the tray on the fridge clear for weeks now. I feel for you! 
It was easier for me since I started changing when my oldest children were toddlers.Wait, what? I missed the racist Galliano thing. <races to Google>
OMG! This was awful!!! Racist, anti semitic. Heck, he even insulted the woman’s thighs! What the ham sandwich???
He claims he doesn’t remember it because of addictions.As my Southern grandma always said “The drunk mouth says what the sober mind’s thinking”. People don’t become different. Their existing hidden or repressed bad aspect show. SMH!

And, I hate that bag. It doesn’t say Dior to me at all. I hate it’s sister patterns even more. But, for those who love it great. It’s like I love Chanel and don’t like the Gabriel. No, let me stop, it’s not. I definitely see the Gabriel as fitting Chanel. It’s just not my cup of tea. I don’t see these trumped up storage bags as having the Dior aesthetic.
That being said, they are better than the horrible artist line they just did on the Lady Diors. This mossy madness is one of the bags for purchase. My SA actually called me to see if I wanted it as she received (got stuck) with one.

I happened to run across these shoes and thought - A match! Just what I need if I’m going to meet Big Foot and some woodland nymphs for a lovely lunch in a dank forest View attachment 4323708
I looooooooved being a mom. Once my kids got to be about 2 they were so much fun to raise and be around.
But, I’m the oddball. I am soooo not looking forward to being a grandmother.I didn’t get that gene. Luckily, neither of my children look like they are getting married any time soon so I’m safe for now! Lol!
When I was thinking navy it was because I have a cobalt blue quilted chain strap Miss Dior bag and wanted some distance between the two. But, I’ve decided not to dye.
Thanks for the compliment on the bag. But, this is why I never say never on fashion. Sometimes something just hits me the right way and I have to eat another big ol’ plate of crow because I swore I wouldn’t touch that type of thing with a 10 foot pole.
Hmmmm...maybe I’d like my ivory Chanel better if I had super cool ivory boots
Yes!!!!!!
This is gorgeous. One my favorites you’ve shown.
I might have been projecting my desire for an electric blue bag on you!This sounds fun! If you share pics, please tag me. I would love to see the jewelry you create.Jewelry!I am ramping up after a couple (unplanned) years away from doing it.
We’re starting RED bag week! I can’t wait to see everyone's beauties!!!! 
My red bags through the years!
2015
• No name pleather clutch
• Coach Willis in burgundy patent leather w/ ghw
• Gucci Soho in red pebbled leather with light ghw
• Prada small double zip tote in red saffiano leather w/ ghw
2016
• Sold the Coach Willis
• Added Chanel 10c red caviar single classic flap w/shw
2017
• Sold the Gucci Soho
• Donated the no name.
• Added Gucci Stirrup in burgundy leather w/ghw
2018
• Swapped out the caviar Chanel for lamb (shw)
• Added Trussardi Lovy Mini in red pebbled leather w/red hardware
2019
Same as 2018 except I sold the Gucci Stirrup which I miss terribly!! But, I didn’t reach for it so, it’s probably good that it’s gone.
Wow! There has been a lot of change as I’ve refined my style. I’m pretty content with my reds. The color is a neutral but, I still don’t wear them as often as I’d think I would so, I don’t feel any need to add a fourth. I ADORE my Chanel flap and tiny Trussardi.
The Prada - meh. If anything I’d sell the Prada and get a red I’d wear a little more often - like an LV lockme II BB.
Or, perhaps I should sell it and get a different bag in a different color. I’ve considered selling to for a number of years. We’ll see what happens.

My three Balenciaga rouge theatre bags, all sold now. Plus my true red, also sold. I love red but feel like a stop sign carrying it.
This bag is beautiful!
Fabulous red journey through the years, all gorgeous!My red bags through the years!
