What did she do with it? Such a shame you don´t have it! My Mum used to have a green wool coat with a huge fox collar and domed buttons that looked like amber. She wore it through half my childhood, well into times when it was heavily out of fashion until the family budget stretched to a new coat. The old one went into the donations bin. I so wished she would have just stored it away. I would love to wear it now. I´m still searching for a similiar model... there simply mst be someone who still has this coat.

I have no idea. It would have been too big for me. She probably donated it. My mom didn't hang onto things she never used. When she died, my sister and my father donated all her stuff before I had a chance to see if there was anything I wanted. My sister is unsentimental and doesn't like clutter - completely opposite of me. Once she sold a Persian carpet at a garage sale for $100. It was worth at least $30,000. She said it was worn out.

What a shame! My Mum was like yours. She never hung onto things. So many treasures I remember ended up in the trash. Even my childhood toys when she thought I didn´t play with them anymore... I´m the total contrast: I try to keep everything, even a single cup as I believe the matching saucer will turn up one day... My Dad used to throw things he did not appreciate out with ease, too. When his old uncle died he took me to his appartment to have a look whether I wanted anything. I couldn´t take much. Dad rushed me and the car was too small. The next day he had the rest thrown into the trash- loads of unfinished paintings, a wonderful broken lamp, the uncle´s easel.... I would have filled two removal trucks had I had the chance.

I'm like you! I'm always seeing the possibilities in things. When I do throw something away, I often regret it.

Another contribution to the clutch topic.
It´s just a cheap faux leather thing by Dune I bought in a charity shop in the UK last year, but I think it´s stunning. Paired with a nice outfit it does not look cheap at all. DH bought the little purse for me in a different shop while I was buying the bag.

The Dior looks amazing and the clutch is cute - great hardaware. I love that your husband got you the coordinating purse.

I did something a bit nutty yesterday. I ordered a mystery mini crossbody plus 8 other items. I rarely get a surprise because dh almost always has me pick my gift. Since I love the Portland Leather Goods Mini Crossbody so much I went for it. I hope I get some nice small goods. If they are not love then there will be lots of leather gifts in peoples stockings this year. lol

I hope so too. That particular mystery box is now sold out. I hope that what ever mini crossbody I get is not a duplicate but there are so many colors I don't have so I am not to worried. I hope I get a nice journal with blank pages so I can sketch in it. Now the hard part is waiting for it to cross the country.
