Thanks! I love my blues. I hope it works with my collection since it is similar to my birkin. Will need to get all my blues out while home and decide. My DH already loves it so likely a keeper regardless.
2019 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

Can anyone suggest a bag organiser for the longchamp le pliage that’s not expensive but one that is not the typical rectangle
Shape that sits at the bottom of the bag? I am looking for one that covers the whole inside of the bag all the way to the top. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Oh no! I hope this works out. Please share your results.I've been carrying my bright yellow Balenciaga City all week, because I needed the extra room, and suddenly I looked down yesterday and... eek! ... there was color transfer from my black jeans on the handle that's closest to my body.
I've had this bag for four years, but the jeans are fairly new (just bought this year) so I guess I should have washed them before carrying the bag. But I've never, ever, EVER had an issue with color transfer with any of my bags, so it honestly never crossed my mind to watch out for this. Lesson learned.
Fortunately, tPF to the rescue! I searched out a number of solutions, but the one I chose was a product called "Bye Bye Dye" from Lovin' My Bags. I've used a lot of their products over the years, and I've always been very pleased, so I'm keeping my fingers, toes, and eye crossed that this one works as promised.
You pick souvenirs that are so much better than I get. My main request is just no more straw.
What in the world makes anyone who knows me think I want straw nick knacks in my home???? LOL!Classy and beautiful!
Please share the comparison shot!
I had amazing grandparents who taught me, loved me and cared for me. Sadly, they are all gone. I had a freakishly brilliant Daddy who was also loving, supportive and a bundle of laughs. All of my good came from him and, I hope to be worthy of his legacy. I miss Daddy.What are you guys going to give your mom on mother's day?
Our usual tradition has been a bucket of flowers plus dinner at a fancy place but it'd be a nice to surprise my mom. Just running out of new ideas.
But because life is interesting, I’m left with the entity that claims it is my mother as it still roams the earth leaving chaos and destruction in her wake. I step nimbly away and send her a card. I’m not taking in poison on Mother’s Day.
I envy all of you who have good moms. Please shower then with crazy amounts of love as they didn’t have to be all that they were and are to you.
Now for ideas:
• Dinner at home led by the kids. That’s always a hilarious time. Let a 6 year old be the sommelier describing the lemonade and you will laugh for months.
• Dessert buffet of items that begin with the same letter as her first name
• Foods in her favorite color?
• Thank you jar - cut mini scrolls and write something you’re thankful for on each. Place them all in a beautiful glass jar adorned with a ribbon
• I saw someplace that makes socks with peoples pictures. Perhaps she’d like that?
• A tabletop book of special photos and memories
• Spa day
I’ll keep thinking

It still makes me sad.
But, I’m always happy to hear that others have great moms. You’re lucky to have her be a great mom and grandmom!!!
I am having her over for brunch but I don't know what gift because she said she didn't want a gift multiple times. Still going to pick something up but don't know what.What are you guys going to give your mom on mother's day?

My mom has been gone for years. DH's mom died last year. My son's birthday is in the same week as Mother's Day, so we go out to eat with him to celebrate both. We usually avoid going out on that Sunday because restaurants tend to be less than perfect on holidays.What are you guys going to give your mom on mother's day?

We're doing the same; I did pick up an orchid for a small gift.
I’ve been so busy I haven’t had a minute to buy anything. Which isn’t a bad thing. Lol!
I am going to get my unwanted jewelry (9 pieces) out of consignment, however. I learned of this place from a referral but I just don’t think they have enough traffic to sell the items. So, as much as I despise the idea of selling the items myself, I’m going to try. If I drop the price 25% under where they had the items priced, they should easily move. An, I’ll still make more than I would have with their 40% cut.
However, before I list, I’m going to take it all to a different jeweler to see if it makes sense to have some of it redesigned. In particular, there are some truly beautiful stones (diamonds and rubies) that would cost quite a bit to buy now. It may be worth it to have them all reset and just sell any remaining settings for next to nothing. We’ll see.
