I'm not doing great on challenges unless I'm doing the newest bags again, or carrying my most used bags. I haven't felt much like changing bags. I've been staying in the same bag close to a week. I can't remember what challenge I was going to do.

Sales are slow. I've sold 6 SLGs this month. I bought one though.

6 out and only 1 in is still good .

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!

How nice that your jewelry has been selling. And terrific news about that one bag selling. Great idea to do an slg as a gift with purchase. I never would have thought of that, buy hey, it works when the beauty product sites do it! Everyone loves a prezzie! :presents:

It’s here!

And it’s fabulous - I’m just thrilled!
It holds more than I thought it would - it fits all my things (wallet, sunglasses, checkbook, phone, small cosmetic bag, and epi-pen easily. The chain is long enough that I can wear it crossbody (incredible), I didn’t realize it was half silver and half gold (which is awesome) and it comes off if I want to carry the purse as a clutch or if I wanted to put a red fun strap on instead.
This is going to be a great addition! [emoji173]️
Thanks again @Sparkletastic!

I’m doing okay on the challenges and I sold a scarf!
I haven’t been doing so well on the whole Shopping My Closet thing. I have bought a few purses - will disclose later - a few scarves and clothes.
I needed the clothes though - when you get to the point where what’s holding your pants up is the belt - it’s time for some smaller pants! I also found a couple cute summer shift dresses that fit fairly well. I’ve taken them in for alterations.

One scarf out, and HOW many scarves in? :giggle: Sounds as though you've been having fun!

But if you need a belt to hold up your pants, then you definitely need new pants. Aaaaaand... you deserve them! Those shift dresses will be perfect for summer. They sound really cute.

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... :biggrin:

Lol :biggrin: i moved to SC 10 years ago and the roaches, called palmetto bugs here, drive me insane. Multiple sightings a week no matter how clean u are. :wtf: The big ones fly!

Happy Monday to you all.

Almost pulled the trigger to buy a used Chanel reissue large in black calfleather from overseas over the weekend. Ended up deciding not to do so because it is just so much working trying to pay someone, and not knowing the vendor at all, it just seems - risky (although she has excellent reputation from this forum and other sources).

Which leads me to think - do I really need to buy my Holy Grail bag even when 1) it is available, 2) I have the money for it, and 3) I just been dreaming of owning one? It almost feel like it'd break my heart if it doesn't turned out to be all that magical. Should I at least get it and give it a spin? Would I ever bee the same if it turned out to be a lemon? Disillusioned can be such a hard feeling.

Make sure there is a return policy just in case. I bought a preloved 226 calfskin Reissue like you described back in the fall. Condition was excellent but not new, but the savings allowed me to put that toward another Chanel....and i love my reissue, no letdown whatsoever! I will never sell this bag :loveeyes: So in my opinion, go for it if this is your unicorn bag. Its the most fantastic, gorgeous, bag!
