Great stats for the year, @keodi . And you have wonderful bags to look forward to next year.

What color Balenciaga are you interested in? Last January (eek… that seems like so long ago!) I bought a Balenciaga City in Cassis, with SHW. It's Agneau, not Chèvre. Lovely and smooshy, though.

I probably posted a photo of it at the time, but here it is again:

She's beautiful! I purchased a unicorn back in Oct, a 2003 navy blue first with silver hardware, and now i'm looking at a black metallic edge city with silver hardware. Here's a pic of my new to me, 2003 first bag

Wonderful. I am a Christmas fanatic so love seeing all the Christmas decor here, keep it coming. We will get our tree on Thursday. Can wait.

For this weekend we have enough: tomorrow in Germany comes the Nikolaus. We will put socks out and he will fill them with chocolates, nuts and mandarines and, in our house, books and hats and mittens for the cold. We have put out the Advent calendars (one for the dog too) and the Advent crown and will light two candles for the 2nd of advent. And we have to set the nativity, which is a lot of work. This is the time of the year when I love living in Germany too.

Oh how I love Christmas.

Yes, the Nikolaus... and guess who has completely forgotten about this: my son! I hope he´ll be happy about an absolutely unexpected chocolate Nikolaus and a tiny little toy. The Advent calender is on the wall, too. We didn´t get an Advent crown as there simply is no proper place to put it and no nativity, either. Back in my parents´ house I still have my Grandma´s-nothing fancy, just a mail order thing from the 70ies, but it feels so special to me.

Best wishes on your surgery Elaine. It’s scheduled in a couple of weeks? Before/after your birthday? Ack, sorry for that miserable birthday present. I am sure you’ll be in good hands.
My older DS got a Pneumonia diagnosis on his 2019 birthday and Covid socially distanced 2020 birthday wishes from the sidewalk, three weeks into home sheltering.
Sending hugs and good wishes your way! :hugs:

Thank you for the good wishes, dear. The surgery is scheduled for before my birthday, and hopefully it will turn out to be a good birthday present. It's been a pretty miserable 5 months.

Oh, gosh, your poor DS! 2019 and 2020 birthdays were NOT a lot of fun for him. Hoping that 2021 gives him (and your entire family) many reasons to celebrate. :party:

I'm keeping you in my thoughts with the surgery. I'm glad you'll be in and out, and safe at home! :hugs:

Me too! thats how I know I want the bag, it's been 10 months, and its still on my radar!

Thank you! In, out, and safe is exactly the way I'm thinking about it!

So you don't already have an Evelyne? I thought you did. Have you tried the different sizes IRL? Do you have preference of leather type, and color? I think it's @papertiger who has one in black, with gold hardware… is that right? And it looks gorgeous!

That's gorgeous! I own a First… Atlantique with RGH. I like the top zipper of the First, but the strap is a bit too short for me. I've swapped it out for a fabric one from Mautto, which makes it more useable, but it's not a perfect solution.

Absolutely, that's the cw I have, and though it's called a PM (29) it's very roomy. I thought I would like a GM, but now I think I wouldn't like so much loaded weight around my neck all say and would prefer a second bag (hand-held) if I needed to carry more.

This is a lovely design, and especially on you. Alas, I couldn't find a cw, but I still admire the simplicity, somehow it lets the beauty of pure colour and the play of light on the silk star.
