She’s here!!!! And every bit as beautiful as I thought she would be! So happy...I thought she might’ve a little too big in the 35, but I don’t think so. Can’t wait until she gets her initials because she’s here to stay!!!!! Dressed with a Patou pocket square...View attachment 5063012View attachment 5063013View attachment 5063014View attachment 5063033

What a beautiful bag! Love the scarves, both the one you’re wearing and the square on Miss. H

Thanks! The scarf I am wearing is a Hermès Colliers de Chien. It’s a bunch of dog collars, tons of colors, lots of fun!

Beautiful! and so is the bag! if you end up monogramming, I agree with @Vintage Leather below. I personally tend not to monogram bc I cannot remember how many times I’ve sworn that x was the only and forever bag, only to change my mind lol! congrats and hugs!
@dcooney4, I love your hair! It’s gorgeous! You look amazing! and, I’m sure your DD will love the dress!
@cowgirlsboots, I’ve always wanted a larger dionysus (ITA with @mariliz11 ) and now I’d like a Big Mac . I love your pictures of the painted leather jackets for the parm event below!
thank you, @morebags! Congrats on being included on purse Blog @afroken! I’m running off now to find it!

Thanks guys! So happy! Now I just have to decide on what initials to use. My married initials are LBS...don’t know if I like the abbreviation for pounds on my bag! Especially since I’m not exactly skinny anymore...

You could do the big S in the middle, with the L and B to either side, much smaller.

View attachment 5062898Bought a dress today and had hubby take pictures of front and back to send to me dd for her opinion. Just now when I looked the bird is right non my derrière. Lol that and I have my hand knitted socks on. Such a funny picture. It took all my strength not to go in all the bag shops.

Your hair and figure -wow! You are a bombshell.

That’s just lovely! I like how you posed her with the LV. I have a soft spot for Monogram and luggage tags!

Yes that would be the classic way to do the monogram. Ya know, like on your silver and linens

I love that Bolide! I know that it’s Etain but this photo gives it a more blue gray taupe look...I love it ! Does it look like this in real life?

Thank you essiedub. It is a chameleon colour. I would say it leans to darker grey.

@ElainePG @Purses & Perfumes @880 @doni @dcooney4 Thanks for the good wishes on a negative test for my kiddo.

@mariliz11 fabulous Dionysus.
@doni have a happy birthday!
@SouthernPurseGal yay for your kids getting started in their new school and on you moving into your new home!

I took some the other day because it can be worn in so many different ways! Even as a belt bag

Stunning! Thank-you so much for showing us!

I´m dreaming of a big version of the Dionysus bag. Years ago I saw a lady at McDonalds. She had a big Dionysus bag on the table in front of her. It seemed to be made of croc or alligator- I can´tbe sure (nor can I be sure it was the real thing) as I only saw it from a distance. I did not dare go over and aske her to have a closer look at her bag.

What a great dress! I´d love to wear it, too! It looks wonderful on you- or the back of you.. To me the bird right on the behind to me is proof of good pattern cutting- perfectly centered.

Congratulations!
The bag looks perfect and it suits you so well. You certainly have found a keeper- a bag for life!
I´m really happy for you!

 

[cowgirlsboots]

Nothing exciting! Just a straight redye. I have an old bag that had ink stains. I have done a few coats of purple but I'm not really loving the color. It's darker than I expected. I'm not super happy with the texture either. So it is just sitting there while I decide what to do.

This sounds like the perfect project! Please keep us posted!
I´m itching to paint on another leather jacket, but haven´t come up with the right design, yet.
No pram event this year, so there won´t be a themed jacket for this... I´ll have to come up with something different. The jacket is already waiting- black, from the 90ies, a childrens´size so it will fit me perfectly tight and look nice to be worn over a dress.

I think it's a classic and worth the splurge! I have the monogram version in bigger size and it's one of my fav pieces. The exotic leather and velvet and embellished ones are stunning!
