It´s lovely and makes you happy- that´s all that counts ("real bag" or not).

I just had a big fat coffee table kind of book on John Galliano (Galliano by Colin McDowell) in the post and am looking forward to reading as there are not only great pictures (which I chose it for after reading somewhere this book contained photos of pages of Galliano´s "storybooks" for his collections), but a lot of text. I noticed it must have belonged to somebody researching. There are underlinings and notes which I find very interesting.
Fabulous blue bags. I like the green bag you picked up for your friend.
Beautiful blue bags. I like your KS wallet with turtle and the turquoise Coach pouch!
Pretty Mini Cara! I just noticed the quilting on your bag stand matches your bag!
Wonderful pinks and purples!
I recall you moved recently, I hope all is going well with your move and job change.
So beautiful
the box on your Dalvy is glowing and your Barenia Pico looks amazing!Outstanding saturated colours - my favourites are your Velo and BV! Just delicious.
Hello All! Checking in to say hi. Hope everyone is well!!No new purse purchases on my end since my YSL Lou Camera in December. But, I am really enjoying that bag along with all my others.
Mr. S. is re-redoing the closet and surprised me with another purse shelf.
So, I’m ready for more adds and hoping he has something in mind. 
LOL! Now that I have my basics covered, he’s better than me at picking out fun bags I’d never buy but love.I had my second foot surgery on Feb 12. This one has been rough!!!! 5 weeks and I’m still in a boot with some pain. The doc says it’s just the process and in a couple months I’ll be up exercising, dancing and wearing pretty shoes again. But, during this healing time it’s demoralizing. I feel like my foot is stuck in a concrete block. I don’t have a lot of energy / motivation to do anything.
We’re super neat so I don’t have any closet cleaning projects I can do. No decorating to do. Pulled back on work travel. Events around town are being cancelled. I have serious cabin fever!!!
So, I’ve found time to cook and bake more.
And, Mr. S is experimenting with some new cocktail recipes. Add in limited moving around and I’ve gained 7 lbs since surgery. 
I’m feeling a bit like a stuffed sausage in some of my clothes. LOL! But, I’m not going to lie to myself and say I’m going to diet. I’ll just make sure I don’t do any more damage and let it come off once I’m moving around more. The only bright side is that I’m getting a diamond necklace custom made. Mr. S thought it would cheer me up. So, I hobbled to the jeweler and talked through a few designs. I think we’re close in that I’ve picked the main stone and general style but, haven’t found exactly what I want. I think I’m going to ask for ideas on the jewelry forum.
What are all of you doing to stay occupied during this Coronavirus hysteria?

Thanks! The Emery is fairly small, 8 1/4 inches by 8 1/4 inches by 3 1/4 inches. It fits everything I need, just barely. The bag comes in a larger size but not in this pink. I haven't seen it IRL. I fell in love with this one. Even though it is kind of small, I think that is part of what makes it so cute.
It's nice to hear from you. It's good you got your foot surgery out of the way and are on the road to recovery.

The last time DH and I went out was last Tuesday so it's been almost a week. We've been watching our investments dwindle away. It's making me anxious. The governor directed that we stay home since we are high risk but we had already decided to do that last week. We stocked up with food and supplies. I've been cooking. I'm trying to use up everything in the freezer. The first things we will run out of are milk, ice cream, cheese and eggs. I may end up baking bread. Yesterday I made tortillas from scratch because I wanted to make enchiladas and hadn't thought to buy any.
I've just started working on our taxes and spending a lot of time on the forum. We have Netflix and Amazon Prime, plus lots of movies on the DVR. I always have a supply of books to read. We have jigsaw puzzles in the garage. If I get motivated, I have plenty of yarn to knit or crochet.
My purses and most of my clothes aren't getting used.
