Ahoy polloi (an island for the masses)

[Ludmilla]

That's what I meant.

Talking about freeing handbags from stores.... I have sent the pic of my new Foulonné to a friend and she wrote back: Please tell me that you did not buy another bag, but took that pic in the store that has hotel bed shaped displays.

I am totally going to admire the winter weather from inside. Not going anywhere today. It's easy to do so - it's another Christmas holiday in my area and everything is closed down.

Enjoy your Christmas holiday at home, Ludmilla ! When all shops are closed, I stay home too.
Which doesn't mean there won't be any temptations... After all, online stores are open 24/7.
But, after the four bags I have bought in the last two months...I had bettter keep my addiction under control.
Your friend looks like my Parisian friend.
Same reaction!
She thought my Chanel tote would be enough and cannot believe it isn't.
She is addicted to lipsticks and has about 50...
How's THAT possible?

Thank God for the bag cheering on the island!
Addicted to lipsticks? Hmmmmm.... Don't they become unusable after a while? I am very happy that handbags and scarves are my only "drugs".
Well, I thought that I would never buy another bag after getting Miss Pickle...
Admittedely, I am thinking about putting myself a bit on a ban for a while now. Not a very severe one, though. I've been too busy on the bag freeing front, too.

No outing for her, yet. The Cuir and I are on our way home already. It was just a short visit at Heidelberg.

The fuschia/black is a stunner! Great choice!
I am too sciencey-literal & neeeeeeeeded the sealife to resemble irl colors.
Personality quirk #4987654321.
Letting my artist imagination run free could be more fun.

On the wallet front:
Rejected black h bearn in epsom.

Really like black longchamp leather wallet, too.

Tough choice.

My wallet got lost - I thought it was stolen but a very nice person sent it back to me, so I just lost it in the train...- and I had to buy a new one. Was very torn between a Longchamp wallet and another one (interim till I can harves my money tree and buy the one I actually always wanted to have). The SA told me not to pick the Longchamp wallet as the zipper on the wallets tends to break quite soon. Perhaps that helps in your decision?

I REALLY like the H Dogon! At least from the outside. I like that little round silver doodad on the outside. Is it very heavy?
Love the idea of a red wallet. My new wallet (an upgrade... it was a birthday present this year) is China Red, from Bottega Veneta.
Just seeing it every time I open my handbag makes me happy.

LOVE it!

YES!!

Very happy to hear from you, Murphy!
Cleaning the basement does not sound very fun - but maybe you find some hidden and forgotten treasures there? Come over to the Mackerel to get warm again! I am going to stay there all day, because we have 8,6F/-13C over here.

Staying inside too after I had my typical everyday 2 hours walk the dog -walk. I froze. The dog wasn't impressed by the cold. Next time I'll choose another breed, I swear. I am more into warm days, sunshine, ... . This is what I've been choosing to have as "my" breed for over 20 years now... well... Sometimes you SHOULD judge a book by its cover.:

He is so cute!
That lovely dog has a beautiful fur coat, no wonder he enjoys the cold.
Maybe we should all stop buying bags and invest in mink instead.

Or I should buy a Samojede instead of that little something and drape it around my neck... ? Would be too heavy I guess, but I like the idea, so:
time to get a second dog! With the former Spitz I had a Galgo espaniol which was funny, the Galgo standing in the snow with a coat and shaking, giving me that typical Galgo-eye " STOP IT! Stop that disgusting thing that comes from sky. Stop it!" while the Spitz was jumping up and down and yodeling "hipp hipp hoooraaaay"...

I can relate, Ludmilla...
Maybe we should look at bag charms, instead. There are so many that it would take us weeks to find the right one.. which would keep us away from bags for 5 or 6 ..... weeks.
Unfortunately, the most beautiful ones cost as much as a bag..

Imagine what it would be like with a Husky....

I could sell the flat I am living in and move directly into an Iglu surrounded by jumping happy dogs. Not the worst scenario. If I remain silent, check the news about a crazy middle aged German woman, living in an Iglu, surrounded by happy jumping dogs.

If you start collecting bag charms, I'll join. On the loing run if you choose wisely, they might be cheaper than the bags. Hunting one of those rodeo charms could keep us busy for weeks, at least

I
I love the Rodeo!
Hard to find...
God knows I have tried both here or abroad.
The last time was at the end of October.
The H SA kept rolling her eyes when I asked for one after she told me there was no Pico, no Evelyne, no nothing.
Fendi bugs are also great. Those are easily available but, after I only spent € 25 on a real fox fur charm, no way am I ready to spend 6 to 800 euros on one!

Here is a pic of the charm I talked about in my previous post.
