Happy Jive Turkey day everyone. I hope everyone can find something to be thankful for. I woke up today., thank you God. I am still here, breathing under the sun and I am thankful for each and everyday. Mom cooked thanksgiving dinner and is dropping it off for me and hubby, as I have to work today. I hope everyone enjoys the holiday today. The sun is brite, but it’s cold here… bbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I couldn't decide on a love emoji or a laugh emoji. The things you are thankful for I feel in my heart as well.
My DD works today also so we are celebrating TG Sunday when she's off. (Every day is a day to be thankful and celebrated in some way.)
I hope you and whichever Dooney goes to work with you, have a great day! :smile: :hugs:

Thanks @RuedeNesle. I wish I didn’t have to go to prison today, but I am shole thankful I have a job, getting double time pay on the holiday. Mom just called letting me know she is on her way with the thanksgiving grub. In anticipation of our shopping extravaganza tomorrow, I’ll be trying out the quilted spicy messenger. Super lightweight and with that nice strap should be easy and hands free.

She's beautiful! I haven't seen that style before. I just got back from a walk to a corner store. I'll be munching on junk food and watching 3 football games today. My DD is a First Responder and she'll get double time as well. Thank you to all those who are working today, whatever your work is.

Working on a holiday and getting extra shopping money
helps take the sting out of having to work. Hope the day goes
by quickly so you can celebrate with your family later
and rest up for
tomorrows shopping expedition. Better to work on Thursday so you
can shop on Friday!

I used to plan my schedule around special holiday sales....
the day after Christmas was always reserved for the
in-store Dooney retail boutique sale (until they closed the store).
Those were the days before online shopping and ILD.
I'm still sad when I dry by the location.

Here she is half packed, no phone inside and there’s plenty of room. I’m so glad I got that small Ivy zip around wallet and she fits nicely. I love her…
amazon remote for size reference

I see a rainbow of mini Flo satchels in your future! 🤣
My only suggestion is to use the mini a few times before you
start buying more colors. Been there, done that, doesn't always
turn out the way I though!

Oh yes I thank you again for the advice to use before buying more. So I want to ask you @lavenderjunkie is there a bag that you absolutely LOVE? You LOVE it so much that you have more than 3 of the same style?

anyone LOVE a bag so much that you just had to have it more than thrice?

I could see a couple more minis in slate and Bordeaux. This bag holds a lot to be so tiny. I can also see a couple more Logans. I’ve got a delivery coming tomorrow and we will see how I like it. This will be it until I see what’s included in the 12 days of dooney. I love the look of the one that should come tomorrow and I’ll post it in the Florentine clubhouse… I won’t stop looking as I’m gauging the prices.

I've been collecting Dooney handbags for over 25 years and I have more Dooney than
any other brand. So yes, there are a few styles I've loved (at the time) and bought
a few colors. In days gone by 🙄 I thought it was important to have every shade of
every color that I liked so that the bag was a perfect match in color and tshade
of my outfits. One pink was not enough.... I needed multiple shades of pink, blue, etc.
and of course, that was true for more than one style.

I don't know when or why I fell down this rabbit hole. I used to be happy with
2 bags in each major color, one larger for work and one smaller for dress.
I think the ability to buy handbags during semi-annual sales for half off
probably pushed me over the edge. Two Dooney bags for the price of one?
How could I possibly resist all those treasures and colors?

I think the style I have the most of is the zip zip satchel in pebbled leather.
But my 'multiples' are not limited to the zip zip.... they extend to other styles
including drawstrings, Flo small and mini satchels, and probably a few others.

I've given away a lot of handbags over the years. I never sell any.
But I can't seem to part with too many of my current collection.
I guess I like them all.

I’m not only the president I’m also a client. Indeed who can resist buy one get one in a fabulous handbag, or great pair of shoes. That’s one of those situations where you kick yourself for NOT taking advantage of a great price. During that glitch sale up you better believe I would have multiples of a few different bags. Heck I went crazy during that great SLG sale that just passed

That’s awesome, I think I’d like to do the same, give to friends rather than sell. So far everything I have in my rapidly growing collection works for me and I seriously doubt I’m letting what I have now go anywhere….
