Fresh bread everyday sounds heavenly. The other stuff sounds delicious too.

It's like taking care of a special plant, lol.
You're right, I have this (Birch) and another in black. I think the black gets carried more frequently, just because it is black. Some sort of a go-to color. But, in terms of looks, the birch really has a more beautiful leather (older season I think) and I'd say a better wow factor IMO. I thought briefly of letting one go, but I just couldn't do it.
I am also really attracted to the idea of making sourdough bread, so nurturing. And also intimidated by the idea of having to keep the thing going, like another living being that I become responsible for (basically the reasons why I both love and hate cooking... I love the feeling of feeding my brood, and I resent the feeling of being responsible for feeding my brood, if that makes sense
)Plus I live in Germany where you can get great bread around every corner!
You remind me how much I love this scarf specially in this color way. It is not easy to find nice ones with both good colors and lots of white. Perfection.

I got into breads this quarantine period just because I depended heavily on deliveries. I found a baker of yummy breads via Viber marketplace. But the cost of the courier (motorcycle rider) is more than the cost of 1 pack of bread.
If I could get good ones around the corner, then I would probably not bake my own breads. (I realized there is a neighborhood bakery a few meters away. But, I had tasted its products before and they are not for me.) How nice that you have easy access to great ones!
I played with these bags last year in the NYC store and they are really perfect, I have to say! I do need one. Eventually. Is black hard to find?Hi Essie - sorry for my delay!
It’s a new style for Ferragamo, I bought it last year. It’s the Studio Bag, I saw one in multi-green and started on a search. I just love it and if I find one in black - I will buy it too. The only thing I don’t like about it, is the pocket under the flap - it’s a pain to get to, and in time will cause the flap to wrinkle and develop a permanent curve.
Here’s a picture of the leather lining in the sunshine:

I hope that helps!
I just bought another shawl which makes my YTD stats:
13 scarves in
6 out.
Ugh - I need to do better.
6 purchases were before Covid, so I can't even blame that, LOL!

Here´s what I did with a vintage scarf I liked very much:
I wouldn´t ever have worn it...
It´s such a beautiful scarf @keodi! It must feel very special to own a piece like this. How do you style it?
Aww, don´t torture yourself! It´s just a little scarf... it doesn´t take up much room and it makes you happy... and maybe with having this new one now you probably will look at the ones you already have with fresh eyes and let another one go.
Ha ha, yes, I totally get this and feel the same way!I am also really attracted to the idea of making sourdough bread, so nurturing.

It sounds like you’re actively curating your collection. Some years there is a lot of action (great pieces and good timing), some years more ins than outs, some years less action, all part of the journey. I hope you will share some of your favourite acquisitions.
Yes, haha, thanks! I am definitely going to do that.
I don't think so, but I'm afraid to look... One might come home with me!
Eh - that's not so bad....

Very true. Also I sometimes price things high because I am actually ambivalent about letting them go. ARGH.It sounds like you’re actively curating your collection.

I hope you will share some of your favourite acquisitions.
Interesting - sometimes the favorite acquisitions are different than the favorite scarves - when something feels like a bargain, or was hard to find, or you win an auction at the last minute, or you bid on it from a train with spotty internet and didn't know whether you won or no - that stuff is really "acquisition fun"!
Ya, haha to both. There are lots of black studios according to Ms. Google, but all full price. I remember a fabulous sale on studio bags -- when? not too long ago, both at Saks and at Ferragamo itself. We can wait, right?I don't think so, but I'm afraid to look... One might come home with me!
