Thanks:heart:
So kind--because I often think, "No one wants to see more pics of my jeans/sneaks, dog & mayhem." But that's what I have to post.:p
The bright colors, on grey day, were amazing--3 mum plants came home with me.
Plus, have mini orange tree--which chose to be in full fruit, for New Year. Prosperity!

Sheep feet & pajama shorts. Outside in January weather. Hmm.
Even I know better--& that's saying something.:lol:

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.... :p

Had to ditch storage boxes. Hidden did not work for me.
Do have couple *special* knitted scarves. But they hang elsewhere, place of honor.:love:

I cleaned with two different products and it's still sticky.

Yikes!
My default cleaning product is isopropyl alcohol.

Surfers, hmm? This makes sense, for sheep feet & shorts.
Interesting info, thanks!:hbeat:

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.
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.:blush: Shame on me!:blush::blush:

Don't be ashamed, I wrote amazing 8 (eight) words yesterday and then turned the TV on ;)

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.

Dear all,

I hope:

that the tea didn't do lots of harm?
That the pretty flowers did their magic and hold their promise to keep you pretty and amazing as usual
That the cold and the waiting in the cold didn't leed to major problems
That all of your bags still belong to you ;))
That everyody is warm and safe- without short with sheeps on it
That everybody feeld happy and good
That all to be cleaned cupboards are behaving so you don't HAVE to clean
That all scarfs are where they should be

and that I didn't forget anybody:(

*hugs*

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.
Click to expand...

And it is still comfortable to wear. Despite being stuffed. Really like that bag. When it was new I used her for almost a year straight. Now, I do forget her now and then, but she is definitely a keeper. Just because she is so well made.

Cool info about the surfer and the warm boots.

Oh, we do like your jeans and dog pics! Don't worry!
It's nice that your knitted wool scarves have a special place. Hope the others do not get jealous. ;)
Thanks for the bag love. :) Wish that bag could heat. Would be a cool special feature right now. :D

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. :yucky:

I am always totally smitten by the leather. A shame that they do not make bags like that anymore. :sad:

What a lovely bag! It is really a shame that bags are not made with that level of quality anymore. But it's not just bags. Everything has dropped in quality in the last ten years. While the prices have rocketed. I wonder if things will ever change?

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.

Omigosh! I hope your husband is feeling better! Sounds like a "totty" would be a nasty thing to end up with in one's lungs. A relative made one of those for me when I was sick years ago. It was very restorative. :p It also led to about ten hours of sleep.

I was not aware of the surfer connection to the fur boots/bare legs/short-shorts look. But that makes sense. Although we are a thousand miles from any ocean and still covered with ice, so it doesn't seem like a terribly practical look, especially when worn with a parka.

Hello ladies!:heart::heart:
Hope everyone is fine this morning.
I am going to the hairdresser's.. I am looking forward to reading fashion magazines and... looking at bags ads of course.
I consider myself as being on a special ( and dangerous )mission here..:angel::angel:

Good luck at the hairdresser's Mariapia! That sounds like fun. Are you planning to be transformed, or just going for a little trim?
