quick update:
Absolutely NOTHING NEW... Many designs in scarves sold out... Horse and orange coin purses still there... Only two fragranes left...
But I did buy something that I wasn't planning on under NO CIRCUMSTANCES LOL... I shouldn't have gone again LOL

At 1:30pm NOBODY in line!

Will write more when I finally get back home...

Hmmm...I was considering going again today but if there's nothing new, I might skip it. I'm curious to hear what you happened upon today, though!
 
I'm happy to say that I got a Grand Roue in black (with brights), Pavois in black with the bright pink and green flags and Colportage in - wait for it - black with the bright pink border. I guess I'm nothing if not predictable! Also got some Jardin sur Nil, my fave H scent!

I can't wait to go to one of these sales myself...maybe even to Paris...sigh...:graucho:

Verra, verra nice. I especially think the black Pavois is gorg.:smile1:
Congrats!
 
WOW - The horse coin purse was the first thing I grabbed when I walked in the door, and then decided against it at the last minute. I wonder if it's the same one?

Bordelle - you didn't miss anything; as mentioned before there was nothing new, in fact lots of things I saw on Thursday were sold out already. Hope you enjoyed sleeping in on this grey Saturday morning; good call :tup:

Lesson for all of us for the future - go as soon as possible and as early as possible (this will be my strategy in March LOL)
Is the sample sale still going on Sunday?
some sites (like the nytimes) say there is the sale on Sunday and some sites say it ends Saturday.
most sites say that the hours of sun are 1-6 pm
is is still going on sunday?
H Customer Service confirmed that the sale will be going on this Sunday too, and I asked the guards again on the way out and they said yes as well (1pm-6pm).
LeMonde - did the prices go down at all?
I don't think so. Scarves still $225. The items that had two sale prices on the tags were some of the baby stuff (same as on Thursday) and I also noticed that on some shoes. Now that I think about it maybe the first sale price was from the in-store sale and the second from the sample-sale... :confused1:

Hermes Nuttynut - sorry I didn't meet you there... And in general I'm sorry I didn't meet any other tFPers (still wondering about you marks...) Have to plan it better next time :yes:

I was going to take pics of my today's treasures but I have a horrible headache and can barely even look at the screen; have to go lie down for a moment... Hope you can wait till tomorrow, sorry :shame:

I totally agree. I did go though...and I went for the scents but unfortunately there were only 2 *grrrr* just when I decided I wanted some. And imagine i was there on thurs and DID NOT BUY!!!:cursing:

Like you said, nothing new, and I was very disappointed.

I look forward to March now that I know how to get there. I hope March is better than this though.

I went Saturday and picked up a pair of white Ombeline flats, the Soiree de Gala in pumpkin, a gavroche mousseline with a daisy pattern that was mislabelled as Ex Libres, and a jar of the Merveilles glitter powder. Went back Sunday and found they had Kelly Caleche which they DEFINITELY didn't have on Saturday so picked up a box of that. Also seen on Sunday but not Saturday were the Opi-H vintage 70cm scarves in maroon that I eventually had to put back because it just didn't look right on me, and a few red fourre-toute tote bags.
