During lockdown/shelter in place, I am staying positive, i get up, do yoga, shower get dressed put on makeup, as though I'm going in the office to include taking a work bag with me in my home office. I'm trying very hard to stay positive. especially with the doom and gloom reports from back home NYC, and the news(i've started watching the news less and less) TPF, you ladies on this thread, and others have really helped me to stay upbeat. I'm really worried about my family especially my mom who is a nurse at an NYC hospital, has been on the front lines, and she's showing flu like and cannot get a test to rule anything out as officials are denying her testing due to shortages. I try not to view the footage of what is happening at her place of work because I break down in sobs when I do. With that being said i appreciate you guys company and of all the pretty purses on here!

keodi, sending hugs I want to send my best wishes and appreciation to your mom. I hope she can get tested soon. It must be incredibly stressful for both her and you. Keeping you in my thoughts. Sending love to our frontline healthcare workers and their families.

Things non bag-related I did in March. Sorry, I don´t know how to do photo collages, so there will be quite a few pics.

Repair the damage the mice have done. (After putting up traps we caught 4 huge fat beasts almost as big as hamsters and I must admit I was sad as they were so beautiful.)
A new (old) collar for the little black 60ies dress, a bold repair to my 40ies Dirndl, done in the same way I repair pram hoods, 2 dresses shortened.

A couple of sizes added to a cheerful 70ies summer dress

A fastener added to my latest leather jacket which being 90ies oversized fitted me nicely over the shoulders but wouldn´t close as I´m far from a size "S".

and finally another attempt on a tighter fitting "canvas" as last time made at an interpretation of the Galliano´s Circus leather jacket- this time with the story he spun for the collection "embroidered" on the lining. (Transcripted from a youtube video.)

Thanks! I found the gold and taupe CW of VdP from a French seller - I think it's a gorgeous scarf. The Au Coeur de la Vie is from 2007 - black background, the design is mostly green with pink and lavender - I wish I knew the actual CW because I do like to know that. Very pretty and I love green!
I'll pop a picture on here in a sec! Okay - here it is - the light is very poor though

I know you like car themes and car shows, have you thought about a Harvey's Seatbelt CNG?
Harvey's is my current obsession. They make all their bags out of seatbelts, and they have a keychain on a strap that I like - it's long enough to fit on my wrist, has a clip so I can attach it to a d-ring inside a bag, and a very sturdy key ring itself.

Congratulations on all of your jewelry and accessories out - 17!

Thank you momasaurus, Sparkletastic and papertiger. Papertiger, your words are so sweet I am thankful my kids have retained a sense of humour while staying at home and having their world turned upside down. We laugh a lot. My older son was coming out of the washroom this morning and said guys, there’s a problem with the toilet, it’s smoking ...

He got us good. Happy April Fool’s Day!

Oh, @keodi, your mom is doing heroic work. The situation in NYC is heartbreaking. I wish her the very best of health and strength, and I hope you can stay positive and optimistic about her situation. We are here for you!

I have not been very good for March or April.
March
3 Bags in
2 Bags out
0 slgs in
2 slgs out
1 sport bag in
0 sport bags out
Yesterday , I was searching for a camera bag but all the ones I like did not have a long enough strap drop. I was looking on posh and saw an MK that was the right size and length. I didn't really mean to buy it. It was new with tags and I shot an offer of 30 percent off. I should have just hit the like button so I could compare it to the better brands ,but suddenly I got an accepted offer. So I guess I bought it. If I like it I will continue to look at the higher end ones to find one that is right for me. If it doesn't work I will sell or gift it .

The only grays I own!

I love the Chloe set!

 

[dcooney4]

LOVE that cute little Gucci bag!! Can I see the horse print shirt? It sounds amazing! How sweet of your husband to get you a peacoat. I fear that my husband really tries and thinks hard about his gifts, but somehow ends up missing the mark. I like what I like, he likes what he likes and wants to try to get me something he likes that he thinks I'll like, but we don't often overlap

Same here.

Love your MCM! Lovely bags!

Thanks! I didn’t know you let go your Foulonne Longchamp too. I just needed it to have a bit longer strap drop plus it was really not getting much use - if I wanted to wear Longchamp I normally would go for the nylons and when I wanted leather I would normally pick something else too.

I love the look, so polished, but I was not reaching for it. I just have other bags I preferred to use, so rather than it sitting in my closet, I let it go.

Thanks! I’ve not worn my MJ Baroque Single bags in a while. Super love the look but I guess chain straps are not easy for me to wear.

I think I got the Massaccesi midi Theia in late 2018. While the style works for me, I don’t love the color of this particular bag. It’s the Light Port. That time, Marco ran out of his regular Port color. He asked if I wanted this instead. I thought it was okay, but when I received it I didn’t like the color. Later when I got to have another bag in The original Port, love love love!

Btw, the midi Theia also works for me as a bigger crossbody bag.


What Longchamp is that? What material? Looks unique!

I just was not reaching for it. So I thought better to let it find a home where it will get used.
