2020 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

[dcooney4]

I have too many black bags to post, but my favorites are:

• Gucci soho disco
• Mansur Gavriel mini moon clutch
• Mansur Gavriel small tote (flamma interior)View attachment 4697670 View attachment 4697671View attachment 4697672

I adore that tote. The red lining gives it such a nice pop of color. Beautiful bags!

Yes! I love the handle too… it's the thing that made me go
But you can see how narrow it is at the bottom - my phone and epi-pen barely fits in it. Maybe I should use it as a bookend for all my Pearl Buck books?

Oh, now you have me wanting to reread Peal Buck! It's been forever. Is there one in particular that you recommend? I still remember how moved I was the first time I read The Good Earth, probably in 8th grade.

View attachment 4697907 My belated pink post. Didn’t realize there were so many until I pulled them out - I wasn’t a pink person until about 3 years ago.

Floral Ted Baker, dusty pink Rogue, raisin Retiro, pink MK trio, metallic pink MK pouch, primrose tea rose Rogue, Coach Charlie bucket in vintage mauve, LV Hyde Park in fuschia, Gucci Soho Disco, hot pink LC case, powder pink LC pouch, sm floral KS wallet, long floral KS wallet, ombré pink Coach wallet, Coach wristlet, floral Coach wristlet, pink MK pouch

I wouldn't even classify some of this collection as "pink," per se. Lots of rose, some burgundy, and then a few bits of "pinky" pink. It's all lovely! That Retiro is a great design. And I'm a sucker for all the Coach tea rose bags. Yours is delicious.

I never forgot that image of her giving birth in the field and then going back to work.

Thank you sweetie!

My favorite is still The Good Earth. ❤️
it’s been forever since I’ve read it as well, but since I’m struggling to get through Great Expectations, I might but it aside and try TGE.

Another week has passed and I’ve not been around. Hope you are all keeping well. Like everyone else, I’ve been coordinating home schooling, working, older parents food deliveries etc etc. My siblings both have the virus in other parts of the country and one in particular has been very sick.

Handbags and shopping have just felt too frivolous in amongst all the stress but I appreciate the distraction when I can get here.

My Mulberry Cara has been on my back for the 30 minute walks I’ve been trying to take each day. It feels purposeful and practical to wear a back pack. We are allowed out for essential food shopping, deliveries to the vulnerable, key work that can’t be fine from home or exercise away from others once a day.

I do have several black bags for some point and missed sharing several pinks. Not sure my handbag stats are going to be of much use this year!

Take care everyone.

My remaining pinks.

Happy to hear from you! Hope your siblings recover from the virus. Take care yourself!!

Just curious if you have given your daughter any dairy yet? My daughter when she was about one and a half or two almost needed tubes. She kept getting sick quickly as her older brother would bring things home and she always had mucus in her nose etc. I took her completely off dairy and it worked. She dried up and no longer needed tubes.

I have. That's something really good for me to think about. She really took to food early, so she's been having dairy for almost half her life. Thank you for sharing and I will make sure to consider that for her!

You are so lucky! I did this for several years until I realized they were giving the worst produce to their subscribers and saving the good stuff for their weekend farmers market appearances. I think they have since changed their ways, but it turned me off to them, and we don't have another local CSA that I know of.

I'm sorry you had that experience! It's always something I thought about with meat and produce, but never decided to go for it. Now that I'm researching, there are truly so many options. My Mom network had a ton of suggestions and one person's uncle wasn't sure what to do with all of his eggs now that restaurants are closed. So many Moms have wanted to buy eggs from him so he'll be making a trip to the city where I live once a week to be able to sell his eggs. I wish you had more/better options!!

Ooh the ones that jump up are the LV with the pink perking out, the luscious box on the Kelly, and the one the architectural one that looks like a Torii gate..1st photo bottom left. I love that!!

I’m sneaking in a few minutes on TPF..gotta wonder..I’m home all day yet I have no time cuz DH and DS are here..it’s messing with my routine. They do their own thing but somehow I guess I feel I can’t slack about playing with y’all. I’m on a serious decluttering mission! And I’m coming up with jewelry merging designs/ideas. All those pieces that I no longer wear because they look too measly (the jewelry people have a term for when pieces “shrink” as we age..cant recall the term at the moment); anyway, I’m looking at ways to rework them. Here are some ideas for merging smaller settings into a more impactful piece (not mine..just inspiration)

Sorry this has nothing to do with handbags but you’re my best buddies here..so there!

Beautiful!! I particularly love the first one! I'd love to see the pieces you're thinking of merging for more inspiration

Thank you so much for this information, @Rhl2987 ! I never knew about CSAs… which is strange, since I'm close to many farming communities.

I'm trying to search one out now, but as you can imagine, they are at maximum capacity. I'll keep looking, though.

Keep me posted! I hope you're able to find something but I'd imagine/hope the max capacity means they'll be keeping their incomes for now!

I'm so sorry to hear about your sick siblings. Praying that they recover quickly. Thinking of you and everything that you're dealing with. Please stay well and try to take care of yourself the best you can. It's such a stressful time!
