Congrats on the new home. I think maybe it is for the best the first one didn't work out. Who knows what other things were hiding behind the walls with that guy. Great job on the outs. I want to move badly but dh does not. Once I realized this I let dh get me a gucci for a special occasion, but I don't want to spend any other big money if there is any hope of moving next year. So I totally get your not spending and getting things out. Congrats on your outs.

@dcooney4, Diptych; triptych, then maybe you can hang each canvas on a wall and paint that way? I paint and prefer not to do it on an easel. I also have a bad back! Good luck and pls do post pics! Would love to see them. .
@jblended, I buy things if I see potential too. I also buy things if I’m sorry for them lol. But, I‘m Not good at rehabbing myself, so I send to @docride.
@Vintage Leather, congrats on the new home. And, I would love to see your collection of brooches. DH and I thought we we’re buying a new home and made an accepted offer contingent on inspection, and the inspection turned up costly red flags so we retracted and are back to the drawing board.
@More bags, I thought I wasn’t a bolide person, but now I’m thinking about it thanks to your gorgeous pic. And, etain

So many items out! Congratulations and I am very envious. Wow. OK I will count the boxes and boxes of books and CDs I have been donating to my library's annual book sale.
Best wishes for your move!!!
Yes! I also just ordered some blue lens glasses because my eyes are killing me from all the zoom and other computer hours.Earrings are a terrific idea if you're on Zoom a lot!
I am with @Sparkletastic, both. I have two Reissue 226s - black and raspberry red. Both bags are in my top 4 most used bags this year and my top 5 most carried bags of all time. The black one is my favourite bag of my whole bag wardrobe.
I took a picture of both bags earlier today, as I recall @momasaurus suggested this as a showcase idea - sharing pictures of bags we own in multiples.
When I was first interested in Chanel I obsessed over styling pics of the Reissue. I thought about it for a long time, went through the clubhouse thread on TPF, read a ton of reviews, watched YouTube videos and looked at lots of online pictures. I tried it on in the boutique and compared it to the Classic Flap (the CF was heavier and couldn’t be worn cross body easily). I put my name on the waitlist for a black aged calfskin with ruthenium hardware Reissue 226 as none were available in store. Fast forward a couple of months and we were travelling. I managed to convince my husband and kids to check out a boutique with me. I asked to look at a black reissue 226 and they didn’t have any. They did, however, have a raspberry red one and it made my heart leap! I picked up an amazing souvenir from our trip and carried that raspberry red Reissue 226 everywhere. Six months later I got the call that the black one was available in my home boutique. I was conflicted. I already had a lovely red Reissue that I was smitten with. The black one was the one that had been on my mind to start with. I went in to look at it and decided to bring the beautiful black Reissue home. Fast forward six years and the black Reissue is my favourite bag. I wear it often, it fits my lifestyle and it fits what I carry on a regular basis. I also wear the red one frequently. What I love about Reissues - they are under the radar bags, lightweight, versatile with multiple ways to carry it (crossbody, single strap on the shoulder, double strapped on the shoulder), it works with my wardrobe and goes casual to dressy and day to night.

I don't get on very well with chain handles myself (ones I have are usually for evening) but the Reissue is one of my favourite bags from an aesthetic POV and these 2 examples show the model's personality in different ways.
Yup, I found both of them on The Bay! I have Thumper bookmarked, but I went ahead and popped for Dumbo.
It's a bit strange-looking, because the little guy is upside-down, but he looks okay if you hold the card holder in the opposite direction. Like this (this is the seller's photo… mine will be here next week).

Do you think this is one from the outlet collection, since he's the wrong way 'round?
I loved the movie. It always made me weepy in the middle, when his Mom is locked up and cradling him with her trunk. But I just ADORE the ending, when he unfurls his ears and sails over everyone's heads. Yay Dumbo!
He'll turn the right way and safely before he lands!
I don't think we can blame tPF, after all if they break the rules for one member they'd have to let everyone and promote and it would be a very different forum.
I even notice that as soon as my favourite influencers start to launch their own lines, receive PR/sponsorships etc from other companies their independence is compromised and their vids sound and feel like advertorials. Not blaming them, for many its their business too, but it's not the same.
If you have a Dalvy you may not need one.
Bolide was developed from a travel bag and I think that's where they get their purpose.
* Easy to organise
* Things stay where placed
* Can see most things at a glance.
* Secure even unzipped when carried as the handles shut the bag
* Shoulder strap
* Not too much weight from hardware
* Goes with minimalist style wardrobes
* Looks Modern but also trad.
* Can be structured or soft (if in a more supple leather)

I could never carry my 35s (really 37) cross-body
The shoulder strap is very 'occasional' use.
What I'd say is people who hate hand-held only stay away from the Bolide (apart from 27) and even Kellys
Great idea, I hope that she/he is trustworthy and appreciative.
Sorry guys,
Been neglecting this thread due to organising (I was 'volunteered') a very large event at work going live in a couple of weeks. My only tPF has been amusing myself on a certain celeb thread early in the morning, where there is very little thinking involved.
RTW purchases from credit from FF, and gifts from Liberty with 2 birthdays coming up to buy for (DH and Niece).

Best wishes with the second house. Thank goodness the not to code items with safety violations were found before you moved in. So sorry for all of the additional stress. I recall you’re moving across country, too. Sending good vibes.
