Ok I’m really bummed out. It’s 9AM and the skies are orange-y muck from the fires and smoke. Here’s my view View attachment 4842988

Usually the Bay Bridge and San Francisco skyline is dead on (i need to improve my photo skills)

I’m so sorry for everyone affected by these fires.

Stunning LPC family!

Thank you! I think it's complete - while great new colors come out each season I've got all the colors I regularly wear covered. (Except royal blue, which for some reason I haven't any urge to own a purse in.)

I will have to hunt down a strap for the gray one, though - walking fast to meet a friend yesterday it did not stay on my shoulder, and while technically it functioned crossbody it wasn't flattering at all.

I must be a closet historian as I loved reading all the stories.. the saddest one was the father earl imprisoning his own son and dehydrating him to death. Yeah that “conflict” with the Campbells..that castle, needs a lot of work! Are they making any inroads? Indeed a fascinating family. Do you wonder if generational grudges are still held?

I haven't tracked the status of the castle at all. It was fun to poke around the ruins, and as it was my first trip to Europe it was a great excuse to go, and to prepend the Gathering with visits to Rome and Paris. (And London - the Earl was a minister for Thatcher so we got a reception in the Parliament building and everything. Fancy!)

But I vacillate between romanticizing the family history and being ultra-cynical. After all, I'm not really a Sinclair, as my grandfather yelled at my mom in the delivery room for not having a boy to carry on the name. (Which I wouldn't have anyway! She took my dad's name!) There. that's MY generational grudge.

Wow that is a great family shot. Such great light weight leather.

Thanks!! It's easy to load down, though - it holds so much! I have the small version and I can't imagine finding anything in the medium or large versions.

What a pretty wallet! The quality must be amazing as my fingertips react to what my eyes see and want to touch.

Thank you! I am tickled by it - I was a bit worried about the cotton, but it's tightly woven and yet soft. Verra pretty!

My Portland Leather Goods Mystery Mini Crossbody plus eight other surprise items arrived. I am so glad I received a color bag I don’t already have. I love the two journals . The black one is lined and the wrapped one is plain paper so I can sketch in it. The passport holder , mini wallet ,and coin / ear bud triangle thing are great. The only thing I might not use is the mug holder. My hubby came in and started smelling everything. It was rather funny. He was eyeing a few of the items.lol

I hope they can put those fires out soon. Stay safe!

Just found one more item in the box. The big leather makeup bag. I guess I should have counted before.

OMG, I am so sorry for you and everyone in the area. I pray it'll be under control and over soon

Please share the name.

sure -- the one I'm using now is actually called Drunk Elephant C Firma Day Serum: https://www.drunkelephant.com/collections/serums/products/c-firma-vitamin-c-day-serum

I have also used SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Vitamin C Serum: https://www.skinstore.com/skinceuti...7MOaRgcqZG9BCmjO_PP-sY9m9KwfMb9MaAv--EALw_wcB

The price difference is significant but I honestly don't see a difference between the two products. I tried Drunk Elephant because I got a special on it.

My heart goes out to all of you. I used to live in San Francisco and still have a lot of friends out there who have shared similar photos on FB today. Just awful. I hope you find healthy air to breathe and that the haze clears out soon,.
