I thought it was time to re-do my Chanel bags collage (and I added in a few SLGs - not all, not enough space in the collage 
) Look how pretty!

Yes! How did you know?Your one highlighter is turquoise!!
Yes indeed, that’s a picture of my writing desk in my study. I have a long twin computer desk setup next to it, for working from home and Mr Dawn has his desk in the new garden studio. Prior to home working, Mr Dawn and I used to share the long twin computer desk, but I’ve never shared my writing desk
It keeps changing so here’s one picture. The pattern of books is my noticeboard and the rainbow is my highlighters. The shocking pink card labelled “You are absolutely fabulous darling” is from my CEO… it was a bit tongue in cheek to say how much she’d miss me while I was on mat leave, but I love it so it lives on my desk as a pep talkView attachment 5600365
ETA: I live in London, so although our house is a decent size it’s nothing like the size of an American suburban house! My study has a very comfortable leather sofa bed, a display cabinet for my pretty-ish stationery (notebooks from around the world) and multiple tall bookshelves and other storage. It also has a Juliet balcony and doubles up really well as a guest room, while Mr Dawn’s garden studio doubles up as more lounge / living space. We work hard on making the most of every living space and I’m always working on making pretty corners of the house
I just looked and it's the Staedtler turquoise in that similar flat shape; so now I know which one to try next.The pink message from your CEO is a wonderful inspiration!
It is a delight to see how you display all your beautiful treasures. I keep the beautiful pens and things put away, but am finding ways to keep little things out in my line of sight. I always keep my bag of the day nearby to admire.
I don't have a desk right now, but maybe someday I will have something like that with a display of inks, pens, and now also highlighters!HAPPY BIRTHDAY Miss Dawn!!I know right, whowouldathunk?
That’s absolutely hilarious. My friend H has a phobia of years where she is a prime number, so unfortunately this tactic wouldn’t help her
I actually like getting old. It means I’m taken more seriously at work, and I feel more confident in my own skin, in life. I care less what people think, which is great. And I’ve always wanted to be 36, I’m funny like that. There are certain dates I’ve waited for: 23, 36, 43 and then 51. Those will all be great years. 36 is working out pretty well in its first month!
36 is a wonderful age!Beautiful collage! My favorite three are Penelope, Ruby (is her name Ruby?), and the sweet Pink...what is her name? I was going to say Sweetie, but I believe Sweetie is top left, and she is named well!I thought it was time to re-do my Chanel bags collage (and I added in a few SLGs - not all, not enough space in the collage
We have a saying “if you’d known that at this moment, a wish would be fulfilled, you would have asked for something else…”So pretty Miss Dawn
That feeling will soon come to you my friend because you missed seeing my bags in action and here is a picture of my current bag in action!
We’ve come to the local park after a full day of sorting things out at home (the Dawn family—always rock and roll
) because unless we use up some of Baby Dawn’s energy she won’t sleep tonight! I have tomorrow off to look after her as her nanny is on holiday (more rock and roll—most of my holidays are now spent on babycare or studying! ) and while I’m here I thought I haven’t actually added this bag on my thread!It’s a Saint Laurent clutch. I wear it on a shoulder strap and it’s a large-ish WOC. It’s currently holding my phone, tissues, antibac, foundation compact, AirPods, card case and sunglasses so that’s all I need for a weekend outing!
Thank you sweetieHAPPY BIRTHDAY Miss Dawn!!
On the topic of my Chanel bags’ names! @tealocean the pewter Coco Handle is indeed Sweetie! The medium turquoise Boy bag is Penelope and the large burgundy Boy bag is Ruby.
The pink clutch doesn’t have a name exactly… she’s my “Partner Pink” bag because I thought it would be funny to celebrate making Partner with a bag which is so obviously not a power bag 
My solemn black classic flap is just “HG
classic flap” because she’s too important to have a name. She’s just holy grail.
And that leaves my new burgundy/plum timeless tote without a name! Penelope is taken as @Iamminda said!!
Probably a good thing. I’m probably too old to name bags!!

So happy to see your action shots again — thanks for granting my wish
. What a pretty clutch, such a great timeless color! How fun to take Baby Dawn to the park (yep, I remember when my DD was little and how much she loved going to the park). It’s amazing how kids get such enjoyment from simply playing in the park. Enjoy your day off tomorrow with Baby Dawn .Beautiful everything!

Sweetie is in the top with the rest! She's unforgettable. I love her shape and color, but the other colors asked for more attention and won!On the topic of my Chanel bags’ names! @tealocean the pewter Coco Handle is indeed Sweetie!

Here are a couple name ideas for lovely plum Chanel:
Plumeria--This was my first thought, and there are some rare dark purples flowers!
Primrose
That’s it! Plumeria (or Plummy for short!) is my new plum Chanel toteSweetie is in the top with the rest! She's unforgettable. I love her shape and color, but the other colors asked for more attention and won!

Plummy / Plumeria -- so beautiful for a gorgeous bag!I forgot one other recent acquisition!! To stack with my new diamond bracelet Mr Dawn gave me the LV monogram cuff bangle in silver, as I already have the gold one as an anniversary present last month
My new silver cuff, along with its golden twin
