I agree with your theory. I think this started in Hong Kong. I am moving to Hong Kong soon so have been following this from the beginning. About 2 months ago in my mom Hong Kong group it was posted numerous times that there was a rumour that the tp factories in China, where tp is purposed for HK, were going to start making masks instead. Suddenly everyone was stock piling tp. It was on the news here at the time and I think folks saw that so when the virus cases started going up in other places people started stock piling tp. Herd mentality. No one is hoarding wine or beer! So strange.
DH wants me to lay in a supply of chocolate ! :P
 
A cheer up pic of my favourite blue handbag. Carried last weekend but not this weekend as I’m not going out. Mini Cara. It was the first premier bag that I bought for myself so a pleasant reminder of easier times.View attachment 4690491
That is so cute!
Here you go!
D'awwww!!
OK very late to the blue party. Although I love blue and have a zillion blue scarves, not a lot of blue bags. The Dalvy you’ve seen. A PM indigo barenia Pico and a turquoise Massacesi bag I forget the name. View attachment 4690809
Such a gorgeous Dalvy! We're twins!
I love your Pico - in barenia! <faints!>
I *think the Massaccesi is a Soulmate?
And just for eye candy, a beautiful bag I wish I had! View attachment 4690812
The contrast stitching…. drool….
The only pink I have besides an inexpensive lululemon bag.
Really cute - I like the pattern!
 
..and two green ones that turned up "out of the blue" during the last few days...

First this great piece of luggage I simply couldn´t leave behind at unbelievable 5,99 Euro! It´s almost like new and even if I don´t get to use it for travelling in the near future it always will make great storage. I could put quite a few hats into this.

The second purchase is a leather handbag from the 70ies. I don´t have to feel guilty about it as I bought it for my best friend´s birthday. She adores green and I´m sure will love the style. In the photos the bag looks a bit dull and scratched. I polished it up this afternoon and the lovely soft leather came up much nicer. The lining is suede.

Interesting. If it's municipal water maybe there is a chlorine taste?
They haven't used chlorine in water in California in at least 20 years. I think the water tastes great. People have a perception that bottled water is cleaner although that isn't true. For one thing, bottled water absorbs chemicals from the plastic bottle.
