Well, we are back safely from our week's skiing in the French Alpes. In spite of snow blizzards, we set off for the next valley - and Hermes in Courchevel on Valentine's day. I was supposed to be saving for a Birkin but a gold Picotin WAS on my wish list too and when they said they had one in the back, the Birkin budget get blown on a MM gold Picotin Clemence. It is just lovely. I have worn it several days already, even in the rain, it is so easy, I am much less precious with it, than my Kelly. DH also bought me a simple agenda and DD got another twilly for her collection, red berries on white background. There was no way I could ski back into Meribel, so we took the bubbble lift up and down the mountain- got some very interested stares with my huge orange bag, I just wish I had the skill and confidence to ski down with it, that would have been so cool! Anyway, from Meribel to Nice where we visted another Hermes store plus another one too at the airport, where I bought a couple more small accessories which I will post later...so exciting but no money in Birkin fund now so it's back to ebay to start fund-raising again 
Just for interest, there was a 35 cm Birkin (sold) in the window - gris tourtourelle, I thought it was etoupe at first, it was a beauty, swift I think. In the shop, I got to handle a 30cm Birkin - ostrich tangerine - this is the size I want, but it IS smaller than I realised. They also had a lovely MM Picotin in white with orange trim, great for the summer and they said that in the back they had 2 MM picotins in ebene one with turquiose and one with green trim. In Nice, they had a 35 cm (or 32 possibly) sellier Kelly, ebene or similar shade of dark brown in vache liegee, it was gorgeous, someone was buying it when we were there. They also had a sweet tiny 'onimetou bis' the tiny open-topped messanger bag in rose dragee swift - it has an extra pocket on the outside- that's the 'bis' part, it would be lovely for the summer, DD quite fancied this one!
I missed everyone on the tPF, it's good to be back
Here are some pics, I will post more of some of my new goodies, sorry there's no close up of my Picotin, I can't believe I have one already, only just got my Kelly, I'm so lucky:
