I am always happy when bags that didn't work for me find a new home with someone who really wants them.
Have you done all your food shopping?
I am about to commence cooking as we are having our presents and such in the morning.
I keep putting off cookies but that is high on the list today.

Bravo, bravo, Murphy!:tup::tup:
No....no food shopping :hrmm::hrmm:
There are more serious matters, believe me...:lol:
Actually, I have heard there are private sales on monnierfreres .....and I am spending my time looking for a bargain...:hrmm:
I told you I am a serious girl!:smile:

There are lots of bags on my wishlist, Murphy!
Remember the bag I gave to Julie?
Her sister told her father (my brother) that it wasn't fair....Why didn't she have one too?
I think my brother wanted me to know that that bag was so beautiful that everyone wanted it...
So, as I am seeing him tonight, I have been looking for..... another bag, this time for Angèle....
And here is the one I chose.....View attachment 3555358

I hope your other niece likes that bag. [emoji3] It's a Gerard Darel, isn't it? Is this niece as bag crazy as her sister (and us)?
You are very kind. And yes, I rarely miss bags that I gave away. I missed the caramel Picard bag, but as I gave it to my sister I got that one back easily. [emoji38]

Food shopping done. Tree is decorated. Everything is cleaned. Cake is prepared.
First holiday fight with mother (who is suffering from osteoarthritis and cannot move) also done.
Not done: wrapping of presents and other small stuff I cannot remember.

Scary, maybe.
However when we commence to dancing and flinging things around it will keep our bags safe and dry.
I wonder if they repel mole rats?
Although Rufus has been rather well behaved since he has been made our official Mascot.

Hmmm. Not sure about the mone rats. They seem to be too determind for those protective bags.

Green bags would be a great theme! I would have to go shopping tho as I don't own one (darn

Do you not have a purse organizer to protect the lining of your bag? I have a couple for my LV's and I really like them. The scarf idea is great but I would be forever catching on in the zipper.

My scarf wads near bag bottom, so no zipper snags.
But your bag liner idea is good.:idea:

Any explanations?:confused1::confused1:

I donated a bag recently.
Suppose I often feel emotional strings. And fear they will shrivel, if bag leaves.
But, no.
Bag is not the emotions & memories. I am.
So, they stay--bag goes to be loved by another.

We are not meant to keep beautiful things forever.
We caretake them awhile. Then let others have a turn.
And get more.;)
