I love Chow-Chows too indiaink!!!
I am careful with the kids - I teach them about being gentle and not startling dogs and they are getting used to my kids (& they are helping to train) from puppy-hood so they will be very attached and affectionate with them always.

Nice!!! That blouse is also awesome.

Reactions: More bags and 880
The Saleya probably gets carried the most, though since I stay home so much that’s not saying much. The Reade are a the only one of the bunch that my DH commented on and said he likes....red is my fave color and color and dimension of the vernis is so pretty. I have a wallet in Pomme I could stare at all day. I know bag charms are controversial, but I think they add just a “little something” to these simple beauties and make them
mine.

880, VL, IndiaInk, Momasaurus- I saw some H that I like. A Trim 2 and the Herbag Cabas are nice, clean looking bags that would work for me. I always thought Gucci’s Jackie was a great looking bag but it is too slim for me so so had to pass. The gusset on Trim 2 would solve that. I saw a Trim in the toile with tan leather trim on eBay that was really pretty...good to know it is actually a practical material choice! I also saw a Museau on eBay in my range that I like....functional, simple but not utilitarian. Thank you for opening my eyes.❤ There may indeed be a Hermès in my future.
Oh, and you should have seen the blue Speedy when I got her. I wish I had pics....she was rough. The handles had no finish left on them, the corners and edge too. She has some big wrinkles from being carried without a liner or base. Well loved is being kind. The twillies are a colorful distraction and functional protection all in one. The bag charm helps distract from the wrinkles too. I got a shaper AND a hard base, which helps the shape and prevent more wrinkling. I had originally bought her to sell after I cleaned her up, but she was not getting enough love so I decided to keep her. She only cost $200, so it was ok. She’s my “special child.” :smile:
Your pomme wallet sounds beautiful! You are also talented at finding and restoring treasures!

I was gone for a day or two and I just read the heartwarming stories shared here. I was almost moved to tears.

I am not feeling the Christmas vibe this year. I have actually not been able to get token gifts for coworkers nor gifts for family. Things are hectic at work too. And sadly, our hometown imposed stricter restrictions for entry/exit, so we will not be able to spend Christmas with my Dad. On one hand I am okay with it. But on the other hand, I really feel bad.

I planned to give some baked goodies to family and friends, but there’s just no time to make them!
I'm not feeling Christmas either. It feels like it will be just another day.
More exciting than unboxing a new bag...my son comes home on leave today!!!!! First time he will be home on Christmas Day for 3 years.:heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::nuts:
That's wonderful and exciting!
Here's my little Calvi. This actually what I was looking for before I became distracted by the MM.
I love the color!
New to me! I've never seen a paratay with a front flap pocket, and I like it!! My massaccesi midi Juliet is cute as a button! I guess Santa treated mama early.
I love the silver Juliet! I've never gotten a Massaccesi bag but this one is so tempting!
Checking USPS tracking for my Bastia, I know from experience it's not going to be here today, so in the meantime, new photos of my 2004 H Picotin MM 22 in Rouge Vif. This was pre-lock - yes, Picotins didn't always have the lock!

That's a gorgeous bag! This is a Hermes style I really like.

You look fabulous, the mod pics of your bags are terrific and your dog pics make me smile. By the way, I love your pants/belt.

Beautiful - I also love Box leather, it has such a beautiful sheen.

+1, missed a few days and I'm both way behind and in tears.
This really is a great bunch.

Maybe - and this may sound awful - use this time to take care of yourself.
I've been going full throttle - getting Christmas ready to take to the boys, my parents are leaving for FL (omg, the worry), and work is nuts this time of the year... last night I had a big, ugly, unconsolable boo-hoo, set off by watching Love Actually. I love that movie, and I always cry at the end... but this year it really just hit me extra hard.

Today, there are no plans except to make a big pot of split pea soup, read, and pet Coco (who spent about an hour in my lap last night - she only does that when she's worried) a whole lot.


I adore this color!!

Gorgeous - Picos are wonderful bags! Congratulations!
Max isn’t certain how he feels about all this carrying on.
I think this is his “Fa-la-la-la-Nope” face...
When my JRT put on that face I didn't dare go near him.

Another cutie though.
Thank you for this, so much! :heart: :love:

FYI - Kong makes an inflatable collar ‘cone of shame’ that is so much more comfortable. You should be able to find it at your local pet store.

When Rhyn had his whatsits removed (after he was almost a year old) he had a Kong collar (which I still have, it would fit Zoey too) and he was so damned smart about it he worked it around to the Velcro fastening and just chewed threw it. But i re-stitched and re-inforced it and now it’s perfect. Of course, nobody will ever need it again. LOL.

Here’s a couple photos to give you an idea... modeled by Rhyn, now a bit over 4.

OMG, the doggie pics and stories are wonderful. It makes me miss my two Jack Russell Terriers who used to bump into the bell ornaments we put on the lower branches of our previous years’ Christmas trees. They lived long lives and are no longer with us. I think of them when we put the bells on our tree each Christmas. :dog:

You have great taste!:love:

I still count the Box Bolide, as the weather was no fault of your own.:yes:

I agree, this year has been so hard for me in many ways, TPF especially this thread has made things so much easier, i'm grateful for guys, truly!

I'm so sorry for your loss, and having to go through that so young!:hugs:

I'm so happy that he's doing much better. he's such a cutie!

Yours JRTs sound like Santa's little helpers, so adorable, mine was never quite as well trained. Very happy yours (like mine) had long, happy lives.

Our pets are such characters. One of my feline darling's so well behaved - unless he's hungry. He loves to get my attention way before my alarm clock goes off by threatening to tear-up any open notebook if his demands are not met immediately.

Raining again today. crocodile Gucci back in the dust bag (actually alligator but we'll acquiesce at the official description). I need a big bag today, suede out of the question too. Back to my amazing Sikkim H Double Sens Maxi.
