It would be good if people just keep their “regular” stock levels and then just add perhaps a month’s more food.

However, every time I’ve gone to the grocery store, the produce section is full. So, if people will start eating more fruits and vegetables, we’d be healthier and allow those who need various packaged food (perhaps because they don’t have a freezer or facilities to do a lot of cooking) to have them.
May I ask who was the source? Our local news is reporting that the supply chain is still intact. It’s hard to know what it true.
Beautiful!

It's very hard to know what's true. I agree. There is a lot of "tip of the iceberg" talk. I heard this from my DIL, who works in social services for older folks here in the NE where I am.

The bag deserves to be cared for.
I did a bit of research into the brand and am very impressed.
At the time my bag was made Seeger Offenbach was a small top notch company, only using the best materials and catering even to the Pope.
In 1992 the company was sold to Montblanc, the Seeger brand name disappeared.
It came back onto the market in 2009 when the employees found an investor to resurrect the Seeger company instead of being closed down as Montblanc was moving their production to Italy.
Again top notch leather goods were produced. Unfortunately they only lasted for 2 years.
The name was sold to a new company, the Offenbach factory closed for good.

Thanks for this. So interesting.

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.

So sorry to read of the additional burdens you have. I hope your load is lightened soon, when your siblings recover. Frivolity has become necessity, though, hasn't it? Otherwise we will go crazy.

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!!

Thanks! I have access to some good farmers' markets once it gets warmer, and hopefully we are allowed to congregate once again.

Best wishes to you on staying sane and balanced with your heavier load. I hope your siblings recover quickly. Remember your self care so you are able to stay strong as you care for the rest of your family.

picture-book pretty!
May I ask which brand the 3 pouch set is?(Sorry, my fuzzy head can´t put the names from the list to the bags.) It´s so cute! Years ago I gave my daughter a 3 pouch set in 2 different shades of pink and one grey for her 18th birthday. They were Furla. I must ask her whether she still has them... the gift box I made is still there. I spotted this as a storage box in her wardrobe.

Good to hear from you. I'm so sorry to hear that your siblings have COVID-19. I hope they mend well, and that they have support during their illness. It must be so difficult for you to be far away from them at this time.
