I do not know.:blush:
Used my "female empowerment" to demand another option.
Which WOULD work. For certain.
:lecture:

Love that your phone shows you a little pic of the place where you are at the moment. [emoji6]
Do you have a special app? I would love to have a weather app like yours with cute pics.

Is cute.
But I keep expecting South Park characters to appear in it.
Has similar, animated appearance.
Not a bad thing. :lol:

True. But, sometimes I do have the feeling that female empowerment is used as an "excuse" to behave badly. If this makes any sense. [emoji85]

Not sure, if we can call this "patina".

This is called, "Love."
Every truly loved thing develops scars & patches. To become Real.
Same as the Velveteen Rabbit.:heart:

Today I am wearing my oldest leather bag. My dust pink Picard. I am going to the Christmas Market in the evening and I am always scared that someone might drop a hot wurstel or mulled wine over my bag. Therefore this one is seeing the light of day.

I do not use her very often anymore. Although she is pretty light, fits everything I need for work without being too huge. Somehow I do not feel the love anymore. And I am not sure why. [emoji17]

The tooled leather is so pretty! And she is a perfect match to the lacework on your scarf.

Ugh. Italian companies and mailing service. If I remember correctly I never got a tracking number of my Postina... She was "in preperation" until she got here. Hope you get your Postina, soon!

We were looking for a cardigan for my father. Seems like it is impossible to get a decent cardigan made from wool without zippers but with buttons for elderly gentlemen. [emoji58] We found one, but they did not have his size. Probably we are going to order it.

Yesterday, I saw a Mini Marcie in suede in the shopping window of the boutique that carries Chloe. Went there to take a closer look. [emoji7] Hurried away to meet my sister and on the way to the restaurant showed her the bag in the window. She wanted to take a closer look, too. When the SA came my sister told her that we are going to take the bag. I nearly fainted. Mini Marcie i my Christmas present. [emoji85][emoji87][emoji85]

So, we did not find what we were looking for (cardigan), but we found something else. [emoji38]

Hello girls!
Seems everyone is out shopping....:smile:
Or looking for Christmas recipes...:confused1:
Or stuck on a train somewhere...:sad:
Or waiting for a UPS gentleman:flowers:
Tick the right box, ladies....

Was out Christmas shopping. Home now. Will wrap later when everyone is gone.
I know all my Christmas recipes by heart but did pay some bills online.
No trains here. Does stuck in traffic in my tiny SUV because of stupid people texting count?
Waiting for UPS man? Nope. He's upstairs asleep. Hee hee.

That bag is just so perfect! What a happy Christmas present!
Men's cardigans can be such a challenge. Men always say it doesn't matter what you get them, but it DOES.
Have you been to any Christmas markets?
I watch all the specials on PBS and they just look sooo fun.
The hosts are always more chatty after sampling the beverages on offer. [emoji6]
