So… stats for August…. Birthday month so - I did some things. 
Purses in - 1 - The Goyard Sac Rouette. So light and easy to carry, I carried it 7 times in August.
Purse out - 1 - The Coach Saddle Bag. I really liked this but decided I liked the Lederer Toile bag much more.
SLGs in - 1 - I am thrilled with my new Mulberry Medium Zip Around wallet. In Prussian Blue, with a burgundy leather interior. It is (finally) exactly what I've been looking for.
SLGs out - 0 - but I might list my very small Coach card case… I've never carried it, but I love the leather.
Scarves in - 5. Oops! A 140 moussie (I was enabled!), a vintage jacquard, a 70 that I had been looking for, a 90 in a super fun graphic pattern, and a CS losange - which might be my foothold into the CSGM?
Cross Stitch/Lederer Update - I had sent the Lederer bag to a trusted purse person in Montana; she thought she might be able to get the cross stitch on the purse, but needed to see (and handle the bag) it first to make an informed decision. Welp - it's coming back to me this week - she just didn't feel comfortable. It would have involved taking the bag completely apart, and then the worry of getting it back together, leather issues, hardware issues and lets not talk about how much all that would have cost! So - I'm glad. When I sent it off, I was of two minds. Yes - I want that work on the bag. No - I like that bag just as it is. Okay - I was of three minds - what if I didn't like it once the cross stitch was on it?
She thought maybe it would be better if I put it on a tote - like a Double Sens, or even a RL tote of some sort. But, I learned that while I *like* a tote, I don't like a BIG tote. I love my Just Campagne - it's a great size. But I don't love any of my other totes, I only carry a tote when I have a crap-ton of stuff to haul to the office or if I'm traveling - so they aren't a thing for me. So, I don't want a tote!
When the Lederer gets here, I may carry it a few days out of sheer relief that it's back and I didn't ruin it.
Now my thoughts for the cross stitch is to make it into a smallish clutch or just frame it and enjoy it that way.

Happy belated birthday Cookie! I hope you and Mr. Cookie were able to find a way to celebrate! Your new wallet sounds amazing, Prussian Blue exterior and Burgundy interior - dreamy! Congrats on the scarves and Lederer/cross stich decision. Your cross stich as a clutch or in a frame sound lovely.So… stats for August…. Birthday month so - I did some things.

I'm glad you were able to do a bit of indulging. You definitely deserve it!The wallet sounds gorgeous. When you have a chance, a photo would be great. I went on the Mulberry site but couldn't find it. Was it a special seasonal offering?
Funny that you might list your Coach CC case… I just ended up buying TWO (count 'em!) on Poshmark. (It was a goof. I only planned on buying one. These things happen!) But they weren't pricey, and I'm only carrying CC cases these days, not actual wallets, so I'm telling myself it's fine.
I'm planning to switch them out every week. It will give me something to do.Ooh… SCARVES!!! Especially a vintage jacquard. Which one???
A pity about the Lederer bag, though it's nice that the craft person in Montana was honest with you. But I'm thinking, the cross stitich turned out so gorgeous, you might be best off framing it and enjoying it as a piece of art. I still have some of my cross stitch/embroidered pieces up in our guest bedroom, and I get so much pleasure from seeing them there.

I’ll post some pictures tomorrow. Right now on the Mulberry site there’s a red faux Croc one - I am tempted because I’m so happy with this one.

The vintage jacquard is a Mors et Gourmettes in the mesh jacquard. I posted pictures of it last week on the SOTD thread, it is a beautiful green.
I absolutely appreciate the honesty from Annie - she really thought long and hard, and we had several conversations about options. What she did was priceless these days - she was honest. ❤️
Thank you so much! ❤️
Priceless - you can’t beat being happy.Aug YTD Stats

Just checked them out. Yike! Even on sale, very expensive!!! But if I could try them on (or even grope the fabric) I'd probably fall down that particular rabbit hole. Not sure about buying them, even on sale, remotely. And remotely is the only way I'm shopping these days.
I used to love Wolford tights (stockings? pantyhose?) back when I was wearing such things, and even though they were $$$, they lasted & lasted. The black patterned ones, worn with a skirt & sweater, really lent "oomph" to a casual outfit.
Yikes indeed and agreed!
I don't know anybody that buys Woolford full price.
Another recommendation would be for Bloch dance wear. Therir things last me years and years too and not nearly expensive as Woolford and can stand up to repeated washing easily.

Congratulations on you your birthday month goodies, they sound gorgeous.
I liked the Catch Saddle bag too, just couldn't justify it, can't have everything. It must have been hard letting this one go.
You will find the perfect bag for your X-stich.
