I used to love going to the Pike Place Market when I traveled to Seattle on business, florasun! That's a terrific photograph, and I want one of everything... in every color. :heart: Fiestaware is just so festive and cheery, especially on grey winter days!

It looks as though we're finally going to get some rain here in California (the Northern part, at least.) The AT&T Pebble Beach golf tournament starts tomorrow... and it ALWAYS rains for that! The poor tourists... they travel out here all excited to see sunny California, and then chances are very good that it rains all over them! (Meanwhile, us locals stock up on groceries and hide in our houses until it's all over... the traffic is beyond awful!):D

Come up sometime and we can grab MK, LuvPrada and we can help you revisit Pike Place, then go shopping! Or looking, LOL!
The U.S. Open golf tournament is going to take place this year at Chambers Bay Golf course in Tacoma. I hope it helps to bring in a lot of tourist dollars up to Seattle.

Yes, well, that's the good part of the AT&T, of course! The U.S. Open was held here a few years ago, and then it was wall-to-wall visitors. Tourism is our main industry here on the Monterey Peninsula, so we're always happy to see golfers and their loyal fans. And then in the summer, we have the Concours d'Elegance, which brings amazing cars from all over the country... enormous fun! :smile1:

I would love to re-visit Seattle... I used to have the best time shopping there when I would go to see clients!:presents
 
WOW, everyone's bags and outfits are looking great! I love to see how young and stylish you all look.

In other news, I went to the post office to pick up these pearls I ordered, and the clerk (not a young guy, either) called me a "sweet old lady"!! I am horrified.!!

Anyway, I've become interested in pearls. These are suppose to be Japanese Akoya in a slight blue grey color. They are rough and I know real pearls are supposed to be. Anyway, what do you think? Not the best photo, sorry.

I love them MK!!! they are beautiful.. :loveeyes:
I have Tahitian pearls that I wear almost every day - would love a white some day.

Forget about that clerk - you are cool casual fab and wonderful :hugs:
:supacool::wlae::flowers:

I once was mistaking for being DH's mother :-s :laugh: ..that's for being a cougar :giggles:

Love the two strands together. A very good look. I have been wearing my mother's pearls a lot lately and sometimes my strand with it. Other times I use a pearl pendant with it which I like as well. Just read an article talking about how in pearls are now.
 
That's why I sold mine too!! ..I actually went back to the store cause it was so damn hard to open...
I am glad I am not the only one. Boy it really made me feel old not to even be able to get the bag open. I am used to helping my MIL with these issues not having them myself.
my new spring/summer love - LV Babylone Mahina PM in Ivory
That bag is gorgeous. I love the charm with it.
Too funny, meg! :laugh:

I know what you mean about the kiss lock, though. I only own one MJ bag with a kiss lock: it's the Little Stam Crossbody. I like the size and weight of it, and the fact that it's a crossbody, but the kiss lock is a little challenging to open. I keep worrying that one of these days I'm going to break it, and then what will I do? Fortunately, I bought it on Bonz for a bit under 1/2 price (from a tPFer) so if it eventually comes apart, or if I eventually decide to sell it, it won't break my heart. :graucho:
I still have 1 little Stam crossbody bag in hot pink. I got it for a pretty good price because there is a scrape at the top of the bag. That is the reason I haven't sold it either. I don't want to worry about a buyer not looking at the pictures and then filing a claim for a damaged bag. It is lovely too, but I find it hard to open but not impossible.

They are lovely pearls.
You should have smacked that clerk with your handbag, like a little old lady is supposed to, LOL! And your pearls are beautiful! I love pearls. Wish I had more..

Went out with a friend last weekend. I stopped by one of my favorite kitchen stores in Pike Place Market to pick up a couple of fiestaware bowls, but had a hard time deciding on color. Imagine 4 more walls like this and many more colors:

sorry for the crappy photo.
I love all the colorful plates and bowls. All my dishes are colorful like this.
Why, that no-good umpity-ump! What a lot of nerve! And it's not even accurate... well, "sweet" is right, but you are nowhere near looking like an old lady, dear!

I remember the first time a sales clerk called me "ma'am"... I went home and cried! Then I marched out of the house and bought myself a new pair of red shoes.;)

As for the pearls, I don't know anything about pearls, but yours look beautiful. The only real (as opposed to Majorica) pearls I own are a short double strand that my parents bought me for my 16th birthday. I keep them for sentimental reasons; the last time I wore them was when The Hubster & I got married, nearly 37 years ago. I just checked them and you're right... they're slightly rough!

Wear them in good health, and the next time you see that clerk, see if you can manage to step on his toe with a pair of your heaviest boots.:laugh:
I know I felt the same way when I was called "ma'am" for the first time.

We do the same thing when the LA County Fair is here. There are some days that it takes 20 minutes just to get out of our little community.
 
I think bags are like ships... they are always "she." But I'm not an expert... meg, nascar, or skyqueen would know.;)
She :D

You go girl!
 
Yesterday I wore my LV bag for the first time. The weather here was very warm so a Nic and Zoe skirt, St. Johns tank top, Balenciaga SQ jacket, and Rene Caovilla sandals. I took my MIL to a doctor's appointment and then to pick up her jewelry that was being resized. The bag was really comfortable to wear and held so much more than I thought it would.

Wow!
Those sandals are gorgeous - as is everything else
