I'm glad you were able to find stores that will deliver to you. It's important to keep yourself stocked up. And I agree with staying out of the grocery store, if you possibly can. Better to stay safe indoors.

I am exactly the same way! I have told Mr. PG that I am the department manager in charge of "Purchasing" and "Inventory" until the threat lifts.Our lockdown is until the end of the month (not sure if it will be further extended) and I think I have more food stuff than I need within this period. But there is this hoarder side of me that feels more calm if I don’t see my supplies diminishing.Well, deep inside I think we’re both on panic mode.
You're right! And until last week, I was going out occasionally to the grocery store because I was being careful. Plus, as you say, packages come into the house, so it's impossible to totally quarantine.
And then I went to the grocery store, and five days later I came down with an upper respiratory infection.
Of course, you can imagine what I worried about! Fortunately, it was only (only!) pleurisy. I have a wonderful pulmonologist. She sent me to the hospital (the hospital! eek!) for a chest X-ray, she saw me in her office EARLY the next morning, before any other patients arrived, she listened to my chest, she confirmed that it was only (only!) pleurisy. One week, and lots of prednisone, later… and I'm on the mend.
But. Now Mr. PG and I are banned from all outside-the-house errands other than outdoor walks. We just can't take the chance with my health. And when packages come to the house, they get opened outside and the boxes go directly to recycle. Then we wash our hands for a hundred years.
But of course we're older, and I'm at risk. I don't know that everyone has to be that careful. We're just following my doctor's orders. And I feel much calmer, now that we have a good plan to keep me healthy.
I think everyone has to balance what feels safe with what feels do-able.
Thank you! I'll find out in November, and I'll let you know!

I’m so glad you’re ok. I would have been terrified and convinced I had Covid-19.You're right! And until last week, I was going out occasionally to the grocery store because I was being careful. Plus, as you say, packages come into the house, so it's impossible to totally quarantine.

And, pleurisy is no small thing! It can be very painful! Many years ago I had the flu and pleurisy plus one of my lungs collapsed. Every breath was precious. I never want to feel that again.

OMG, I didn't know that. That must have been so scary. I'm happy that is was 'only' pleurisy (which sound horrible - big hugs to @Sparkletastic ). I'm so glad you are on th mend and taking such precautions, I guess we should all do the same actually.
At the start of our quarantine (initially for 1 month, then now at 1.5 months), I was thinking of having supplies just for one month. But now with the realization that even after the lockdown, I would not want to go to the grocery as much as possible, then I'm beginning to hoard. If your freezer is full then you're still good!
And can I add. I thought that I would just be eating for the sake of eating. Nothing fancy. And worst case, I would go for canned goods. But then 2 week after the start, I saw through a friend that she could access these delivery services by small shops, so that's when the hoarding tendency started. And now I have steak.
If one really thinks about it, we would need to change gloves/wash our hands every few seconds that we're out!! And even in touching the deliveries at home! I'm very paranoid with this. Washing my hands several times, and then splashing alcohol on them. This thing really is scary.
Oh Elaine, that was scary. I'm glad it's something treatable and not covid! I'm glad you're on the mend now.You're right! And until last week, I was going out occasionally to the grocery store because I was being careful. Plus, as you say, packages come into the house, so it's impossible to totally quarantine.

I like my B because of the casual and sturdy leather - I have no use for one of those perfect ladylike Bs, although I admire them on others. B30 is probably more practical, but I already have bags that carry that amount, so the 35 gives more room. It can get heavy, but I mostly use it when I'm doing things that involve being in cars or taxis, so not a lot of walking. What leather/color would you want?
Interesting idea - the power bag. For me that is the Kelly and the Dalvy. I have 2 of each. Feel very lucky.I don’t get how or why people feel they can/ should comment on anything unless it’s an unequivocal compliment. If I were you, I wouldn’t let any comments about price keep me from wearing my bags in my private / social life.
Nailing down my aesthetic was a hard fought battle. I went through stages of dressing as my mom taught me, dressing for my career, wearing sparkly / girly things because they fit an aspect of my personality, trying to look older than my age to get credibility, wearing worn out mom things because I was exhausted from working and having little ones while in grad school, mirroring friends, coworkers or even people in the media ... It’s been a carnival of crazy.
I’ve had to get quiet and figure out what makes me feel the best and what looks best on me. For example, one day I realized I didn’t have to wear shorts - which are uncomfortable and don’t look good on me - just because others do.
I like very feminine (soft but def not little girly and never prim) clean lines, architectural interest, a little bit of edge & the classy side of sex appeal, and just a bit of sparkle for going out. I don’t have one word for it but, I know it when I see it.
My biggest issue now is finding clothes that truly work for me that also don’t break the bank. I value spending premier money on a good bag. I don’t value spending premier money on the majority of my clothes. As spice for my wardrobe - sure. But not for the vaaaaaast majority of what I wear. So, I’m struggling a bit. But, I’m making progress.
I just started coloring. What pens and pencils do you recommend?
Love your browns. And, I’m especially drawn to that cute straw bag.I just loved the look of the bag. When I wore it, I felt very strong, powerful, like it’d arrived.I don’t have any “power” bags now. I wonder what one could even be?
Hmmm...I may ponder on this as I’d like to have a power bag or two in my closet.
Beautiful.
Well, you live in CA after all, don't you?That's funny!
He wasn't ever a hippie, although he and I are certainly both of that era. I do have some pix of him taken when he had hair over his ears, and touching his collar. AND a mustache. Early 1970s. Wide tie. Bright shirt. Need I say more?
Needless to say, this was before I knew him.
Thank you so much!
The K was advertised as vache, but when it came it was obviously chamonix. I love it!Beautiful brown and tan bags!
Beautiful collection! I love the leathers on your kelly and Birkin!
Love the fuchsia lining on the Massaccesi bag. The leather looks butter-soft from where I'm sitting. Fabulous!
Yes, thank you, I love that lining! This is the only MM bag I bought from another person. However the one I custom ordered from him (grey) also has a fuchsia lining.
Thank you so much. I'm pretty sure that K is my favorite bag.....
