These are all beautiful.
Thank you!
Well done! That Pelages/Camouflages is superb. How nice to check so many scarves off the GRAIL list, all in one month!
Thank you!
Finally got out the canvas Garden Party to carry a bottle of rosé (not pictured) to a small outdoor dinner. I love these colors!

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.
This reminds me, when my daughter was born, my mother came with these traditional baby gear, hand knitted and embroidered and using the most beaufufil soft white pique fabric. She then said casually, oh that fabric, I got it from my old Courreges dresses from the 60s...
I could have died...:annoyed:

Funnily, she was also a outwear addict. She was a very minimal dresser otherwise, carefully choosing any additions to her wardrobe and ensuring everything went together. But she got at least a new proper coat every season. She justified it because during half the year, most of her social life took place in a coat, so that (and a handbag) was the most important investment :P
 

Very nice, love the cannage and it looks tricking with the silver hardware.

Oh what a great color! I love that the inside is blue!
 
I’m a Sag but my moon and something else are in Capricorn. I know very little about the zodiac but my zodiac expert friend has informed me this is why I’m zany and have wanderlust but also crave order and detail. Eh...sounds reasonable. So, I’ll go with it. LOL!
Mr. PG is an Aries, for whatever that's worth. He has a line he uses in social settings when the conversation gets around to horoscopes. He says "I don't believe in the zodiac. But then again, I'm an Aries, and Aries don't believe in the zodiac." Some folks crack up (which is his intent, of course) and some look at him, like… huh? :hrmm:

Did I mention that Mr. PG has an understated sense of humor??? :lol:

I would be one of the people laughing at that joke, Elaine!

Gah I looked...the tartans are soooo cute! Scarlet for cookie. How about you Elaine? I must resist...but off I go to seek out more tartan. I have a soft spot for plaid and tartan !
Nope… I held firm. It would have been the blue one, but I pulled out all my SLGs and gave myself a stern talking-to. I seriously do have enough wallets. And for the foreseeable future I'm relying heavily on cc cases plus Mr. PG's Tiffany silver money clip (which he has nicely lent me for the duration) for bills.
 
Thanks, everyone!!! Part of why I milk my bday is that it means summer is over, school and other seasonal things start up again, and that is always happy/sad/confusing for me. And this year, cultural things are NOT starting up again, and that is worrisome and horrible for those in the business.
I know! That's always how I've always marked the start of autumn: a snap in the air, and organizing the stack of tickets. :frown:

I honestly haven't had an issue like this with Poshmark. Most of the things I've bought or sold have been delivered in around 3 days (there have been a few that did take longer), and payment - once the buyer has accepted the item - has been pretty seamless.
My BIG complaint about Poshmark is the incredible number of fake items they allow to be sold.
I've never sold on Poshmark, but I've bought several items over the past few months and I've been quite impressed. Nothing terribly expensive, but everything has arrived quickly and the process has been seamless. One item had a problem, and the buyer apologized and accepted it back. Even that worked out smoothly (whew!), and I was reimbursed within 10 days.
 
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.
omg I would have died. I am very sentimental about Persian rugs. Such an incredible artform
