Such a gorgeous bag, Ludmilla. I hope you weren't upset by what your mother said. I take it she does not know very much about handbags?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.

Understand completely.Tried to organise my scarves yesterday. Good grief. So many scarves.I am so on a scarf ban now.
Here is my "organization." Stacks on closet shelf.
At least, can see colors near clothes.
Punched holes in roaming packs of h knotting cards--hung on ring.(I still flail & loop wildly, ignoring their wisdom.

Lunar New Year market trip was fun!
Quite windy & cold. But festive Shi ( 獅) let us enter.
Let's play, "spot remainsilly's red bayswater."
And cheat, by following blue arrow.
After throwing 6 BOXES of poppers, felt sure demons were frightened away.
Bring on the rooster!

Looks like such fun!
I got no farther than the mail box today.
Biggest excitement: hubbie tried to inhale tea. Failed and spit it all over my Alexa/electronics landing spot.
Luckily nothing was ruined but spent quite some time washing everything.

Glad nothing was ruined!
Every calm moment needs bit of crazy.
Just to keep us balanced.
Some photos had hilarious stuff going on behind me.
Here's one:
Smirking guy & confused man with pink phone, I salute you.
Murphy: Why was your hubbie trying to inhale tea? I can't help it, I must ask.
RemainSilly: You lead a wonderful life. Thank you for the pictures! In gray winter months I often feel a need to be among large numbers of yellow chrysanthemums.
Spotted on campus this weekend: Young ladies dashing about on shopping errands wearing furry boots (https://www.snowbootshut.net/ugg-short-sheepskin-cuff-1875-sand-boots.html) with sleep shorts in pajama prints (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Faded-Glory-Essentials-Women-s-Poplin-Sleep-Shorts/43165711). Nothing on legs like tights. If I had the legs of a 19-year-old I might do the same, although the temperature was just above freezing so maybe not.
Otherwise they wore all black in keeping with the campus dress code.
Like the rest I am very excited about the upcoming Ricky bag.

No, don't worry, I wasn't upset. Postina is one of the bags that don't work perfectly for me... So I do have my own not so positive thoughts about that bag. Dear mother has many handbags herself, but much cheaper stuff. She likes to borrow my bags. I have to tell you that your amount of scarves is nothing against mine.Understand completely.

I have tons of (self knitted) wool scarves.... I like how you organise them. I store them at various places. This is great, because the problem (too many) is hidden....
Ooooh. How did he manage to spill the tea?

Looks like you and Poppy Bays had tons of fun! The market looks like a great adventure.
Interesting outfits I have to say. Hopefully, I will never see them at my uni.
While I am waiting for the new bag to be made, I am giving my old neglected ones a spin. Doing the 1 bag/week schedule at the moment.
Here is my caramel Picard bag. We had to wait for half an hour in the cold today - the trains had technical defects.
I am always totally smitten by the leather. A shame that they do not make bags like that anymore.

Stay warm, Ludmilla. Miss Picard is perfect for the whole week.
You are right, no one makes bags like that any more...
Hubbie has been sick. He likes to make a concoction containing tea, honey and Jack Daniels. We had just finished lunch and I think he was trying to say something Dad like to the girls and managed to inhale the tea. Proceeded to choke on it and spray it all over my area. Floor, cabinets, electronics.
I cleaned with two different products and it's still sticky.
Shorts and furry boots is a surfer thing. Came from Australia where surfers wanted to keep their feet warm in between rides on the waves.

Sorry feet are so cold.
Love the bag.
Used to have on that EXACT shape back in the 90's. Black with GHW. Most awesome bag ever. No matter how much you stuffed in it, it kept a nice shape.
