I love the BV! What states are you visiting? I think I've been in most southern states.I’m heading off to two southern US states I’ve never been to, visiting friends and family transplants. Carrying two of my favorite traveling companions: an LC in the color bilberry and a BV hobo that has a magnetic closure and single handle so it’s easy to get in and out of

I’m visiting Tennessee … where I am now… then NorthWest North Carolina where an old friend retired early and developed a lavender farm. I’ve seen pics and am looking forward to experiencing it. Then Ashville where fam transplanted from the northeast.
Getting my travel legs going after 2 long years.
Happy Wednesday, fellow Islanders!

Happy Thursday, fellow Islanders! 
My argumentative younger sister’s surgery has been put off until next week, leaving her long suffering husband to appeal to my…better nature?
So in the spirit of a piece of raw meat thrown into the lion’s cage, I stopped by to see her purposely leaving the pool float at home.
“So why aren’t you wearing the purse I gave you?” she snarled.
”Because after I leave here I’m going somewhere where people actually know me.” I replied.
Needless to say she was outraged and later harangued me unmercifully to anyone who would listen.
In fact (according to our older sister in Arizona) it was all our argumentative younger sister could talk about as opposed to her upcoming surgery.
Mission accomplished.

I don’t know if Elliott Lucca is still around but I used to like his bags a lot. He did an “inspired” version of the Stam that my cousin carried for years and it was beautiful! His Leather was a bit pliable and sheeny, something like Miu Miu was for a while. This beautiful blue leather reminds me of that.Happy Wednesday, fellow Islanders!

I remember that bag as well, westvillage.
To the best of my knowledge Elliott Lucca the brand is still around. But in my opinion the quality isn’t what it once was.
A beautiful navy blue leather bag, Fim.Happy Wednesday, fellow Islanders!

I love navy blue.
The strap is lovely too.
An other great find… You are on a roll, definitely.

Hopefully I’ve rolled to a stop, Mariapia.
I’ve been lucky with the bags I’ve bought recently, but it might be wise not to press my luck.

I do foresee that you are not required for hospital visits. Same everywhere.I remember that bag as well, westvillage.

Happy Friday!
So, one of my colleagues tested positive for Covid on Wednesday. I was with him at the cantine on Tuesday. Guess who has developed a nice cold since yesterday. Sigh.

Lots of Covid cases in France at the moment..
I hope your colleague didn’t contaminate anyone.
Anyway, do a home test when you can, Ludmilla.

I’m sorry you’re not feeling well, Ludmilla.
Unfortunately Covid is here to stay, right alongside the flu and the common cold.
But the only good thing is that with the availability of at home Covid tests you‘ll know if you have it or not.
Even so, being sick just in time for the weekend sucks.

I’m sorry to hear that there are still quite a lot of Covid cases in France, Mariapia.
Cases here in our isolated rural County are presently at the lowest they’ve ever been. Only fifteen cases out of a population of forty thousand speaks probably less to conventional wisdom and more towards our stubborn insularity.
Particularly now. After a two year hiatus, our wildly popular County Fair will once again be held next month.
And with that in mind, even the most bull headed among us experiencing the slightest symptoms of any respiratory complaint is voluntarily masking up and/or staying home* until their symptoms subside.
