I have always disliked chalk because it seemed so boring I didn't get it, but lately I've really been drawn to chalk so I totally agree with you. I got the kisslock 12 and barrel bag from this sale, and presaled the cassie 19 in chalk from FP to do a little customization. For some reason I can't get enough of it right now.Then you need chalk in your life! lol. I never bought or wanted white/chalk, and now I have 3 bags with it. It really provides a nice balance, contrast, and variety. I have the meadow flower dinky and Charlie 28, and I have the dalmatian dinky, and I love all of them. Oh, and I have the chalk Cassie with sig/oxblood. I have been pleasantly surprised. And I do like the Riley quite a bit...again, I just only need one.
