Ahoy polloi (an island for the masses)

Happy Friday, fellow Islanders!
My other Botkier Cobble Hill has arrived!

A top handle bag with a detachable wide strap, the color is described as “griege” (beige with the slightest gray undertone.)





Though I appreciate the options of either crossbody or shoulder bag, handheld is my preference.

Once again, what a beautiful Botkier, Fim.
I totally agree with you, handheld is so elegant.

Love totes! And you’re right about the leather!

Thank you!
A few days ago I came to realise that this bag is very similar in shape and size to the Pliage bags. Just not as practical as way heavier.

Still no bag shops in sight, ladies.
No jeans store either…
What does a girl like me do when she really needs to buy something?
She buys shoes in the only trendy place in the city..
A small shop with lots of new designs and wonderful SAs and manager.
Okay, here’s a pic of my New Balance 327 .
I got them about an hour ago after trying on I don’t know how many pairs from other brands ( a Finnish one included)

Great find!

Thank you, Tomsmom.
There were other brands I had never heard of…but I love New Balance.
All the lovely shops we used to have have disappeared from my place.
They all went to shopping malls.
I don’t live in a village, though…I live in a city of 80,000 inhabitants …

This is so sad about the lovely shops. We have a similar development. Such a bummer.

Happy Friday, fellow Islanders!

Once again, when it's time to get down and dirty, I choose my Sakroots. So easy to wear and carefree, in a way that only a bag that costs $20 can be. What a deal! Coated canvas, so sturdy yet flexible.

What’s not to love about a bag that you can always depend on no matter what and still look good doing it?

Thank you for the pic of the gorgeous family, Fim.

Thank you for the pic of the gorgeous family, Fim.

As ashamed as I should be to admit it, Mariapia, there’s a possibility my Botkier family may be acquiring a couple of cousins in the near future.

According to me, the two cousins are already on their way to your place, Fim….

Hi there again … everyone’s bags are beautiful as always! And fun!!

Well, I haven’t been here in a while, but I don’t want to just drop out of sight after posting daily for a few months, so I thought I’d stop in to give a little info before I take a rest. The last time I was here, DH and I were on our way to a three stop trip in Tennessee and North Carolina. On the third leg, DH took a short hike up a very steep hillside such as are common in northwestern North Carolina. On his way down, he lost footing on the muddy trail … I was not with him…fell backwards, hit his head, suffered a traumatic brain injury and passed away two days later.

I‘m fortunate to have a wonderful “yours,mine and ours” family which has been so supportive, shoulder-to-shoulder, from hour one of this devastating time. But it will take me a long, long while to come to stasis within. We were married for 38 years, very happily.

So I wish you all merry bagging. I‘ll know I’m coming along when I start to notice bags again on the street

I'm so sorry. I don't know what else I can say. I can't imagine the heartbreak. My heart goes out to you.

I am truly sorry about your loss, westvillage. Along with your family and dearest friends you also have every one of us here on the Island who are here for you whenever you need us.
