Glad you like my new bag, Ludmilla. :hugs:

I was thinking about you while my daughter and I were shopping and saw all the amazing hand knitted goods. :love:

My MM bags are on their way and might come just in time for Christmas.
Hope you are all well. We do have some winter here. And though I like snow I hate ice on the streets.

I feel the same about icy streets. But what I hate more is how every winter so many idiot people seemingly forget how to drive on ”black ice.” :facepalm:

On a happier note, I hope your MM bags make it to you in time for Christmas. I can’t wait to see them! :happydance:

Happy Thursday, fellow Islanders! :wave:

Internet access for me has been spotty at best this past week. :pout:

So to recap this past Saturday’s shopping trip with my daughter:

Despite the weather, we had our typical holiday heyday. :ghi5:

We began with a visit to our favorite patisserie to fuel our efforts. :giggle:

Next we joined the throng of fellow Christmas shoppers with our respective lists. :choochoo: :choochoo:

As for any bags we saw during the course of our shopping…. :blah:

Which (though slightly disappointing) was not unexpected. Fortunately I had prepared in advance with my second “from me to me” Christmas bags. :whistle:

My olive green Patricia Nash Amberleigh Tote that put any other bag we saw to shame. :giggle:

What a fabulous find, Mariapia! :dothewave:

Words cannot even begin to describe how much I love this Gucci. :cloud9:

The elegance of its understated color palette with its elevated details is the epitome of discreet luxury design. :drool:

:congrats:

Thank you, dear Fim.
You recognized a Gucci bag ….:tup::tup:
I was walking past a small consignment shop when I saw that lovely bag in the window
I didn’t get into the boutique though….I just kept on walking….
Will you call this « restraint »?;)
Fortunately, I got inside on the way back.
The shop owner told me she had posted the Gucci on Instagram and two ladies had seen it and asked questions ….
One of the two was supposed to come this afternoon…:annoyed:

I miss my consignment store. there was one about a half hour from home that had some nice things - clothing and bags. they tore down the shopping center. But their prices weren't rock bottom by any means most of the time for bags. Did you get a great deal on your gucci?
