My January stats…

Bags in: 1 (Maybe. It's from Fashionphile, it just arrived today, and I have 30 days to make up my mind. We shall see, but I drooled a little when I took it out of the box. I'll post it if I decide to keep it!)
Bags out: 0
Bags on probation: 2 (I'll post about this another day. I it would require venting about heavy bags and my shoulder, if anyone is interested. :annoyed: )

Slgs in: 0
Slgs out: 0

Drooling a bit is usually a good sign... :giggle:
Cat waits to see it!
And vent away! Everyone is still listening to me and my Danse Lente trials!

Now those are some stats! Well done!
I’ve been working on my photos (phone) just so that I can find things for TPF. :giggle:
One on my goals this year is to waste less food - I wasn't perfect in January, but my refrigerator is as bare as it has ever been (which honestly scares me a bit) and I like the way it looks even though it worries me.
Does any one else have a problem with condiments? I have SO many! Jams galore, pickles, mayos, salad dressings, mustards, and various sauces are jammed in there... I’m afraid to get rid of them because so many recipes call for a tablespoon of XY or Z - so I will eventually need it!

That is so cool!

I've been on the road most of January, and also am still nursing my broken arm, so the only bag I've carried has been my backpack. I brought along a barenia evelyn, which has been useful when I want to feel more human. When I get home tomorrow I hope the new strap I ordered will have arrived. The thing I dislike the most about the evelyn is the crummy canvas strap.
Stats: Nothing in or out in leather.
But 3 scarves in. One grail, one item from a friend, one new Jungle Love Love twilly (and twillies don't really count, right?)
Going to relist a bunch of scarves when I get home.

Twillies definitely don’t count! And do tell about the grail! :yes:

Oh Great. :annoyed:Now I want everything that you show:annoyed: the O case, the clues, the Disco, the card holder, even your sunglasses case. Just great:sad:
seriously though, I love the color coordination of the black and red. Do you rotate your SLGs? that Disco is larger than I expected, eh? Really cute! Does it come in different colors? Does it have a contrast interior? Oh oh..I really want that O case..that has the burgundy interior? :hbeat:
Thanks for spilling your bag!:drinks: Bet you were carrying the red Marilyn pen?

It has a beautiful red interior. I am using the wallet my dd gave me . The pouch carries blistex and cough drops and headache meds plus a couple of business cards and a key . Only thing missing is my phone and glasses as need them to take the picture.

You are a minimalist! Love the red interior and the grommet detail. This would be great for travel too!
I know that Kate Spade wallet..it’s awesome. Has everything (coin, card, and compartment for unfolded bills), yet is small and flat. I searched every major mfg a few years ago ..it was so hard to find. I think they finally adapted for the small bag trend .

I have shoulder issues so I had to become a minimalist. I love the grommets. Thanks!

Yes! I had tons of condiments, sauces and marinades. I recently cleaned out the refrigerator and got rid of most. I just don't cook much anymore. There are some cabinets that probably need to be cleaned out too.

Received this a few minutes ago. Just ordered yesterday. My Mz Wallace Fulton Crossbody. Checked it and took the tags right off and loaded her up.

My stats for January:

Bag in: 1
This one: (I have been watching this for a while then the price dropped below $150 so I caved.)

View attachment 4654398

I’m not exactly happy with the bag I got since I feel it’s a return. But it’s the last piece and I’m a bit lazy to go through the return process so I’m keeping the bag. And this is not a daily bag for me so I’m okay with it. I’ll see if I can use it this weekend.
Bag out: 0
Total number of bags used: 7. This is a bit low for me since I was averaging 10 before. But since December, I’ve been staying longer with my bags. I don’t see this as a bad thing, in fact I feel good that a particular bag is having more playtime. We’ll see how I feel in the next weeks.

Great stats! Way to go.


Pretty bag whateve!


This is a great shade of blue Elaine!


Congrats on your stats and on your new bag! Looking forward to details and pics if she’s a keeper.
Ack, heavy bags are a no go for me. Feel free to vent when you’re ready. I will support you and your shoulder.

I really liked Henri Bendel. It was a department store back in the day - I still have a red linen jacket from the 1980s. The bags were great, and lots of variety. This is beautiful.

Twillies absolutely don't count! And what's the story with the grail???

That broken arm must be so frustrating. How much longer will you have to be in the cast? And was it a trial when you were on airplanes… especially going through TSA security?
