Dawn's small but well-loved collection

[tealocean]

My sister would positively love you Miss Dawn, she has the most exotic collection of perfumes, she gets them all free from Clients at work, all prestige brands and never needs to buy any herself, her car is full of them and she will literally wear anything, the stronger the scent the better. All of her shower gels are like your peachy candle and all such vivacious colours. Then she comes to my house where my soaps, shower gels, lotions are all dermatologic and unscented, my perfume is one barely there scent I've been using for years and the bottle lasts over a year. Then if she asks for a bit of my perfume I say get lost because she uses a quarter of a bottle in one go and my aren't free

PS. I like off topic, it's interesting

My dad keeps telling me all these scents are making the air in the house toxic. Sigh. I have actually gone through phases where I tried to tone it down, but yum! I love the good scents!

I like your sister!
How sad that I don’t get my scents for free!! However perfume is so inexpensive compared to bags that I’m afraid I don’t really think twice about buying any perfume I want.
And like your sister I am profligate in spritzing myself (also throughout the day)

Off topic is great but slightly annoying if anyone actually wanted to see my bag showcase ah well, I bring it back to topic from time to time!



You are too sweet to me
That’s very sweet of Mr Iamminda. I love cherry blossom scents in lotion.

I don’t know how I accumulate so much hand cream. I barely ever buy it and yet like all other beauty items I seem to have piles of hand creams. I found a drawer of unopened lotions and potions this morning when you mentioned it, so here is a picture.

Hahahaha about the subtle non-weird sniffing
Lots of love xx

A drawer of yumminess!

To bring my thread back to bags, I've made a series of collages. One SLG collage and a series of (mostly) superbrand bags by colour theme. I've added one "theme" picture to each collage as well.

In order:
- some of my SLG family

- snow white family with a dahlia from my father's garden

- neutrals family with peach roses from my rock & rose garden

- pinks/red family with an oriental lily from my garden

- blues family with some of my favourite beach pictures that I have taken around the world (Venice Beach LA, a private pink beach in Bermuda, Antibes in the Riviera and one from Coromandel in New Zealand)

- blacks family with a souvenir from a Chanel perfume exhibition this summer

This was fun, and I'm sure I'll come back to gaze at my beloved collection when I'm having tough days! I hope you enjoy

hey Hey hey! Hi everyone! Hi Miss Dawn! Found you lol. What a stunning collection. A quick hello, I'll be back over soon as I can.

Happy Saturday sweeties

What handbag shall I carry today?!

I'm going to a wedding tomorrow and I don't think I have any handbag to wear!! I have a lovely new dress though that Mr Dawn bought me for a recent anniversary. It's pale blue and pink chiffon and makes me feel like a princess (I have the mental age of a 5-year old clearly)

First eat that yummy iced doughnut then have another. Then you have all day to get to London and buy a new hand held clutch or mini shoulder bag in a colour that suits your pretty dress. That’s what I would do ...

Sadly I have to go to Sainsbury’s as I’m once again Old Mother Hubbard (as my poor Mum calls me) but I’d much rather be bag shopping

The diorama WOC in pink springs to mind

 

[BlueCherry]

Or YSL have some pretty mini bags/clutches in pretty pinks ...

@BigCherry
Sweetie, get thee behind me old mother Hubbard
Oh the temptation!!

Must resist... Repeat after me
I have lots of bags... I have lots of bags...

temptation is the spice of life, to resist is to restrain life’s longings and hearts desires..

Ok let’s help you narrow it down then. Unless you really want to go to London the trains have no issues today for a change

Okay so I don't have a silver superbrand bag so I'm choosing between these two at the moment. There's a pearl no-name clutch that an aunt gave me, and a Karen Millen silver pouch. Hmmmm.
Neither of them will, however, fit a hammer

I love Karen Millen for clothes but totally unfamiliar with their leather goods. I have to say I’m very taken indeed with the bottom item (I’m looking on my phone and the pic won’t expand) - is that the pearl one? It’s really very pretty and totally suitable for a wedding and so long as it’s an aunt you like a lot a lovely sentimental touch too ...

Imagine a hammer at a wedding you would be arrested

Perhaps she wouldn’t be arrested if the pink bejeweled hammer matched her outfit or is part of her wedding gift to the bride? maybe?

I agree with BC — that donut needs to be talked about and eaten first and foremost, it looks like a dessert (the little doughnut I had yesterday looked quite sad in comparison ) —you must have the best doughnut shops in England. Delish!!! And Mr Romantic strikes again (so envious but so happy for you) — I am very impressed that Mr Dawn picked out a beautiful dress for you for your Anniv. I bet it is just beautiful and I am sure you look like a princess indeed. I like that second beaded clutch you posted above — looks beautiful. And I am sure you have the perfect jewelry to wear with this whole princess outfit. Good luck deciding. I hope you have a wonderful time at the wedding. And please have fun twirling in your beautiful dress (says your five year old friend here ).

That would be an awesome gift -

 

[Miss_Dawn]

No hammer going to the wedding @BigCherry. Honestly!!

The Karen Millen clutch is a little satin one. Since you and @Iamminda agree the pearl clutch is nicer, that is the one I'll carry tomorrow thank you both

@Iamminda pink bejewelled hammer!!
Hahaha
You are both impossible

It was indeed a very nice doughnut.
I'm so tired. I came home and worked till 2.15 am last night so I just needed a bit of an indulgence

I will indeed twirl for you @Iamminda and I will wear the necklace my parents gave me in December (a few pages ago in my thread, if you recall it).

That would be an awesome gift -

I'm never going to get stuck deciding on a present for you Cherry [/QUOTE]
