Wow... it's really hot there! We only got up to the high 50s here on the coast. And the sun never did come out. I'm not wearing enough clothes... gotta go put on another layer.
They're running the Big Sur Marathon here this weekend. It's probably a good thing that it won't be super-hot. It's getting really crowded in town, though. Time to stay close to home.
I'd bring it back and I would start out reasonable, since obviously the merchandise is defective... but if the store puts up roadblocks, I would escalate.
Best of luck to you... that's just so annoying!
I hate dealing with stuff like this. My husband said I should find a tailor to put in a whole new zipper. He does not realize how much of a hassle that is. To top it off we are expecting lots more rain this week.I'd bring it back and I would start out reasonable, since obviously the merchandise is defective... but if the store puts up roadblocks, I would escalate.

I've taken things back to stores with no return policy. Usually if you complain enough, they'll take it back. One was a pair of shoes that fell apart after a week.
When I lived in San Francisco, they fumigated the apartment beneath me and all the cockroaches came to live with me!Oh, there are definitely cockroaches in the U.S.! It depends on where you live. I've never seen one here in California, and I never saw any when I was growing up in the suburbs of NYC. Or in downtown Boston, where I went to college. But I sure saw them in my various apartments in New York City!!! And these weren't dirty apartments, either... I kept them spotless. Also, I encounterd a different kind of cockroach the year I lived in South Carolina... these guys were monsters. I was told that they lived mainly in the live oak trees, but now and again one would wander indoors.
Luckily, I'm not scared of cockroaches. I would just make them go splat...
We've seen several here. They aren't the kind that gets into your food. The traps they sell in the stores don't work on them. We only see one every few months. I don't know how to get rid of them. We've had the pest control people spray. They got rid of the spiders.
This happened to me when I lived in NYC. I put boric acid in all the areas I thought they were coming in and it got rid of them.
I put boric acid in saucers in all the corners but it didn't work.
All this discussion on cockroaches 
in today’s parlance..Im getting triggered! 
They positively freak me out. Whateve’s story made my skin crawl. Ugh
in today’s parlance..Im getting triggered! They positively freak me out. Whateve’s story made my skin crawl. UghWe don't get cockroaches here, or at least I've never seen any, but we do get slugs. Yuck. I read online that the answer was to put down a pie-tin filled with beer, which would attract the little dudes. I don't know if they were supposed to drink the stuff and then stagger away down the block to someone else's house, or if it was supposed to dissolve them. But I did pour some beer into a glass pie pan that I wasn't particularly using for anything else, and I haven't seen any slug trails since. So either they've gone searching for a better party, or else they've gone up in a puff of smoke. Either way is fine with me!
I hate slugs! I have some kind of granular snail bait. I sprinkle it in the garden, then I don't see any more slugs.We don't get cockroaches here, or at least I've never seen any, but we do get slugs. Yuck.

I didn't put it in saucers. I made a fine line of it and put it in the edges of the wall and cabinets any where they could come in as a barrier.
Ok back to bags. How is everyone doing with the challenges if you chose one? I was sweating it for a while but the one bag I wanted gone sold and I will deliver it in person. I gave one slg away as the gift with purchase and sold two more. I still have some more slgs I would like gone. The bags I have at consignment are all bags I like but rarely use, so if they don't sell I wont be devastated but I still would like them gone. I like the open space. I have also been getting rid of my silver jewelry from years ago. That ironically has been moving. She even told me I could bring nonprecious jewelry and that stuff is really moving. I sent a multi colored glass heart necklace on a silk cord and it went right away. Who knew!
I’m not doing any of the challenges but I’m happy to have 2 bags out this month!! One sold by the consignment shop and the other one I gave away to a friend.
I have several bags listed and some jewelry. I have sold quite a few bags that I wasn’t intending on carrying. Now I have bags listed that I didn’t intend on parting with, so I’m happy about that. I did sell a Fred Harvey era snake eye bracelet that was gorgeous but wasn’t comfortable to wear. The buyer was so happy because I accepted his offer and I feel like someone can enjoy it. I’m glad it has a new home. I put a ton of amber jewelry up in my shop last week and sold a necklace and matching earrings. I honestly am not the best or the fastest typist by no means, and that is slowing me down plus I’m still getting over being sick. I do want to knock my faceted gemstone collection down a bit but it’s hard for me to purge them yet. I am proud of getting rid of some bags. I can kinda see the floor in my office. I just wish I had better organizational skills. I could be in my office for hours organizing and my husband comes in there for 15 minutes and I feel like I just had one of those paid organizer come to my house and untangle my mess. The bad part is he has no idea about my stuff and loves the trash can wayyyy too much.
