Happy Wednesday and thank you for the bag love. :)
It is quite silent on the island and I guess you all are as busy like I am with Christmas preparations. I cannot believe that we are already facing November. :panic:
Do you have any nice plans for the upcoming weeks? I have visited three different Christmas markets already. After two years without them I really want to go. Tomorrow we will visit one after work. :)

Happy Wednesday, Ludmilla! :wave:

And for the rest of our fellow Islanders as well! :dothewave:

Life on the Home Farm now has a few new wrinkles with a few additional duties for yours truly. :sweatdrop:

A successful hunt bagged my DH a large enough deer to fill our freezer with a winter’s worth of venison. :yahoo:

The downside was that he needed my help bringing the deer out of the woods and into the back of our truck and then into our barn for processing. :facepalm:

No easy feat with a not surprisingly uncooperative corpse of a two hundred pound deer. :facepalm:

It’s good to hear from you Fim! I can’t imagine helping out with a 200 pound deer! Such a strong woman you are!

Happy Wednesday! I’ve put my tree up but that’s it, just the tree; no ornaments lol. I need a swift kick to get me moving lately.
 
Happy Thursday, fellow Islanders! :wave:

The current justifiable furor concerning Balenciaga‘s recent misguided and egregious ad campaign is well known here on TPF.

That being said, the onus should rest squarely on the shoulders of those directly involved in the scandal and not on the Bal bags collected either recently or over the years by any number of our fellow Islanders.

Ultimately the choice to wear or not to wear your beautiful Bals during the current uproar (of which none of you here had any part in) is strictly your decision.

Just as it was my decision to keep my Dooneys even after when Frank Bourke of Dooney and Bourke fame was convicted of conspiracy and bribery in 2009.

Then again, given my family’s notoriety in our County, I learned long ago that I’m the only one responsible for my actions and not those of my infamous relatives.

I'm glad you feel that way. It never crossed my mind to stop carrying my lovely Bals that were made when other people were in charge of the company. Actually even if I had a brand new one, I would still carry it. I have a Dolce and Gabbana wallet, and they've had their share of controversy. I'm not going to let something I spent my hard earned money for languish in the closet because of somebody's stupid decisions.

I saw a story about some country singer's wife (Jason Aldean) who was getting rid of all her Bal stuff. Throwing it away? She's making a statement and she obviously has plenty of money but I can't see it. I suspect she may be some sort of "influencer" interested in her own online rep.

If she’s throwing out all her Bals, I’d like the GPS of her dumpster! :whistle:
