...just to reassure all of you about weight.. this is me. Amazingly the true vintage dress pattern I made this dress from did fit all my measurements perfectly. This dress makes me feel pretty and totally at peace with my body.

ohmigosh! Beautiful!
And I love the dress!
I´m totally into Steinbeck at the moment. The Grapes of Wrath are a book I come back to every few months for example.
I really enjoy Thomas Wolfe, too. Look Homeward Angel and Of Time and the River are good old friends.
I am Charlotte Simmons by Tom Wolfe is another favourite.
Not to forget Irving, sometimes a bit of Updike and Jack Kerouac...
We may be sisters - both Dior fans and your favorite authors are also mine.
Love Steinbeck - my favorite is East of Eden.
John Irving - The World According to Garth and A Prayer for Owen Meany
I have a shelf in our ‘library’ for my favorites, I‘ll take a picture when the light is better.

sorry I’ve been MIA lately - holiday blues - but our Zoom Cheers went well. ❤️

We read Steinbeck at school and still remember it
 
After a few days cuddling with my cats and basically clinging onto my mum as though I am a 2 year old again :lol: it is time to return to hospital.
I had intended to snap a picture of the 2 bags I'd managed to use during my walks since I got home (they are well-loved and sooo smooshy), but alas did not get the chance.
It has been lovely to be back, even for such a short time. This place never disappoints!
Take care everyone! Stay safe and keep smiling! Hopefully normalcy is around the corner. Please do hang in there and take care of your mental (as well as physical) health! :smile:

:hugs:
 
No news on bags, but I did purchase a potentially disastrous, spontaneous SLG from Hermes. I passed that hideous professional exam I told you about (second try. It took me all Summer to study for and I hated most of it apart from officially mentoring 3 of my colleagues, so thank goodness I passed because I wasn't even sure I wanted to try again. Funny thing, the first time I studied hard and diligently, did all the right things, presentation to time, all the right docs, 3 000 words on theory blah blah. This time, I didn't have a minute to prep and in the exam was stopped mid-flow ramble etc. Same stony-faced woman on the panel too. Anyway, I passed - straight to Hermes.com to celebrate :lol:

I feel a renewed sense of energy towards doing bay and selling though, my mannequin is wearing a sheepskin I'll take pictures of tomorrow. Never mind bags, I want at least 6 coats gone.

Thank you, ha, we shall see. It's a MM Calvi Pouch and I think I want it for a flat bag organiser, hard to tell without seeing it IRL. it should be here Mon. I was only looking for a normal, little Calvi to reward myself because my card hold is looking tatty.

I still need a real card holder :roflmfao: .
