It will take some time as the bag has to be made, yet.Thank you, Ludmilla.
I just can't believe my luck.
Now, I have to reorganize shelves and closet for my new baby...
The weather here is horrible, I might do that this afternoon. Notice that I said I might not I will.
What about the bag you ordered ? When will it arrive?

It's worth the wait, Ludmilla.
As my grandmother used to say " we are always waiting for something"
And waiting for a brown chocolate bag is just great!
No, no, your mum is wrong, Ludmilla.Used Signorina Postina yesterday to run a few errands. She was out of her dustbag, because I took some comparison shots for another tpfer last weekend.

Poor bag was shamed by my mother who thinks she is poorly made as she has no lining and no zipper. Oh and because she is floppy.
The Postina is beautifully made!
You should take her out more often..

Your grandmother was right.
And waiting for a long coveted tan bag is great, too! 
Did you decide to organise your shelves?
No, no, your mum is wrong, Ludmilla.

I know that you are right and my mother is not.
The problem with Postina is that I am at work from Monday until Friday and she is too small for the daily commute. I can use her only on weekends (Saturdays that is as I rarely need a bag on Sundays) and as I have at least 10 bags of her size that want to be used, too, it is getting difficult to use her more often.
I perfectly understand, Ludmilla. Small bags are very cute but to go to work with one of them is dificult, especially when you take the train and are away all day.Your grandmother was right.

So many things to carry, just in case...
I haven't done anything yet, surprise, surprise...
I am watching TV instead... I know, I know.
Shame on me!

Rest is important too!
I have been lacking motivation to organize my closet or clean off the dining room table as well. [emoji8]

The problem is not the bags (of course), it's the season.
In Winter there is so much extra stuff to be carried.
Gloves, scarves, extra meds, an abundance of Kleenex, etc. A big bag is necessary when it's colder.
Come Spring, you can jettison all that extra stuff. Yeah!! And this have smaller bags.
See how I justified that? Am I good or what? Hee hee.
Yes, you are very good! And correct. I carry much more during the cold season.
Ah. Ye ol' insult-the-bag ploy.Used Signorina Postina yesterday to run a few errands. She was out of her dustbag, because I took some comparison shots for another tpfer last weekend.

Quickly followed by ye ol' "let me use that thing, to save you problems," ploy.
Mum wants the postina. Beware.
Btw, pickle alexa probably has lots of problematic issues.
Stick her into a mailbox. Let me ease your burdens.
I'm such a freak.
And stuff all that crap into coat pockets.
To leave room in big bags--for little shopping trinkets/snacks.
Tragic.We have been sorting books/dvds/music to resell.It's Sunday - the day to be lazy, ladies!
Which is painful--well, the books. Love books. Books are my homies.
Would live with piles on every surface. And use as plates for dinner parties. If no kept me in check.
Soon, off to market!
To take photos near yellow chrysanthemums--so I stay pretty for another year.Ah. Ye ol' insult-the-bag ploy.

Painful to sort books and movies.
If they are useful to you though it's time to pass them on.
Once a friend and I had a yard sale and looking at the pile of books she shook her head kind of sadly and said " why did I keep all those? I should have passed them on when they were in good shape so someone else could love them."
I try to remember that whenever my bookshelves get too full. Pass them on to be loved before they fall apart.
Wise words, my friend.
I tend to buy books, thinking of them as a quick/fun read.
To resell later.
Then get busy. Or do other things, on vacation.
And the piles grow.
Won't mention graduate textbooks & poetry chapbooks.
Which believe they still need me. And are clingy little b@st@rds.
You have been busy!Ah. Ye ol' insult-the-bag ploy.

I need to sort through all my stuff. Tried to organise my scarves yesterday. Good grief. So many scarves.
I am so on a scarf ban now.Aaah. Mum wants Postina. Sounds like a valid theory. Erm. No. Miss Pickle is perfect, actually. She stays where she is.
