My one gray bag - Massaccesi Juliet Midi in gray Flor
I love seeing this bag , I will never tire of it. So cool!
Thank you momasaurus, Sparkletastic and papertiger. Papertiger, your words are so sweetI 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!
thats a good one!keodi, sending hugsI 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.
Thank you so much @More bags and @msd_bags, i appreciate it, i told my mom yesterday how you guys are really supportive of what her work.
I love this bag!
@Cookiefiend & @papertiger : Twins (good memory Papertiger!). Looked up details for Au Coeur de la Vie in the scarf booklet (I try to keep these for all my scarfs along with the tags) . The scarf is from the SS 2007 collex and the reference is 2235S cw 06. This is the cw shown in the scarf booklet. This scarf is one of my favourites, as DH (who bought it for me) is a PhD biologist, and the centre of the scarf reminds me of the endless microscope slides showing the xs of dicotyledon phloem that I studied in science class.
Thank you!
I'm very happy with it and wore it 6 times in March - which is the same month I received it in! Definitely a keeper!
Thank you so much sweetie!

Thank you twin - for the information!
It is a beautiful scarf, the detail is just incredible.
My husband is like that too, except he doesn't like to go to the mall at all. He'll take me and then just wander off when I go into Neiman Marcus or Chanel. He gets irritated if he has to wait a longtime or has to come with me into these places.
That bag is amazing!!! I do prefer the red because it's their signature, but I can't wait to see what Mr. S decides upon! I am so happy you're getting that!Happily the Jimmy Choo sneakers started as a concession to surgery. But, the fact that they are glittery has made me love them.
I love how you invest in your wardrobe!! Honestly, you’ve been an inspiration to me. I hear about / see the lovely things you buy and somewhere along the way I started wondering why I don’t buy lively clothing. I’m at about 1/100th of the journey you are on buy at least I’m on the path. LOL!! Keep sharing, please!
I rotate my jewelry pretty well except some items really aren’t day appropriate so I rotate them when I go out and about.
ROFL! I’m just the opposite. I can’t find much of anything to buy. I’m only lusting for one bag at the moment: the Cartier Guirlande. I actually want it in the black but it’s so iconic in the red. Don’t know which I should put on my wish list so I put both.Mr S will figure it out lol! View attachment 4701284View attachment 4701285
Love the MCM!
How about the system I mentioned before? Mr. Sparkle and I put our wish list items on a Pinterest page. That way when one of us wants to buy a gift for the other, we don’t have to wonder. We can go to the page and pick something the person will like and yet it’s still a surprise because there are a number of items (at varying price points) to choose from from $50 to tens of thousands. This has made gift giving fool proof. No more disappointment. We still surprise each other a bit but, 80% of our gift giving is now Pinterest page directed.
I love that idea. That's so wonderful! I want to do that as well. Planning gifts that we can enjoy/do together.My husband & I gave up trying to surprise each other with birthday present years & years (and YEARS) ago! He buys me something I'm excited about, and I do the same for him.
For our anniversary, we either plan a trip, or we buy something the two of us can enjoy together.
I can’t wait to see. If it helps at all, I’m loving my new YSL camera bag. It’s not a shape I’ve had before but I definitely will add more going forward.
It’s role reversal over here. I HATE going into the mall and shopping while Mr. S likes to go. So, he is usually half dragging me to stores for us to try on clothes (I’d rather take toothpicks to my eyeballs). It’s not so much that he loves shopping. To be fair, he’s very efficient when we go. But, I still am just not a shopper. I need a genie to drop things I can wear in my living room.
I likely won’t get it for a while. But, it will be fun when I do!
Gosh, I love this dear!! Thank you for sharing! I want to come back and reread this. It's so special.March Update, YTD Stats and Challenges

Self Isolation/Staying at Home/Shelter In Place Reflections
I hope you are all safe, healthy and finding a way to be well.
- We’re benefiting from a regular schedule, including afternoon walks (even if it is -9C/16 F and snowing, we just bundle up and head outside; at first the kids didn’t want to go and now they’re reminding me of our scheduled walk time)
- We eat dinner together seated at the table more often (the kids’ sports often meant first dinner and second dinners scheduled around trips to the rink for hockey practices and games)
- Dinners are more elaborate, Sunday night/ comfort food type meals, with desserts
- We call our family to talk and connect more often
- I’ve been reading more books
- We’re not wanting to buy stuff; I asked my soon to be 13 year old DS what he wants for his birthday, “Uh, nothing Mom”
; OK, I do want to be able to buy orange juice, pasta, milk, bananas and garlic without having to run around to three places to find it. At this stage we’re not lacking for anything except hand sanitizer and disinfectant cleaning spray
- We’re not rushing around as much with young kids, there is nowhere to go - all activities have been shut down, there’s no place to be except at home
- With all that is uncertain, my family has adjusted to the new normal, developed new rituals and is rolling with it - I am still adjusting to homeschooling the kiddos, we started yesterday
Glad I remembered correctly 'It's sooooo beautiful, how could I forget.
Same!! They are stubborn and I think want to please on their own terms. It's interesting. But thinking about myself, I do tend to get him things I like but that I think he'll like too. He usually likes them a lot more than I like what he gets me. For Christmas, he got me a cooking class and tickets to the ballet. Things we can enjoy together! I like that a lot more even though I did tell him not to get me anything big and that was disappointing. I was hoping we wouldn't spend money and I don't need him to spend money on me since I usually spend it on myself.
