A little break can make such a difference, and also I love those simple ways to relax. So nice your getaway house is so close, too! Thank you for the GP well wishes, it's such a good match to my current needs. Will be fun if one finds its way to me. 
I do the same, I don't typically jump on things, and apparently also need to mull. But with the 30 GP I didn't mull, and still had trouble!Sometimes I mull long enough that I save money
, because the item disappears completely! I also have a knack for discovering and falling in love with things just as they've been discontinued and have become extremely difficult to find!
That's how I am too. I'm very much a city girl, loooooove visiting FSH and Paris way too much. My choices of holidays are always cities (Paris, Melbourne, Tokyo, Hong Kong etc) yet I also enjoy the mountains and countryside. I love playing with small animals, especially squirrels, bunnies, cats... and spiders!
I think it's nice to have a balance.
, I definitely crave being in nature, more! Serva, a simple house in the country sounds perfect to me. As you said, with comforts, but most importantly in a peaceful location. Haha! So annoying, isn't it! But my bank account does thank me for being slow. Except in the case of the Miumiu ballet flats where I took so long that they were gone and then came back again. I didn't like them at first. They sold out completely. Then, I started to mull over them as a summer option... and they came back in full force in many more options. I bought two pairs.
So funny regarding the ballet flats, you were very lucky! I don't think I've ever had that happen. For me, the mulling can be due to being unsure, or not feeling it's the right time to spend. If it's because I'm unsure, and I mull a bit, and still feel a pull, I may go for it! But that could be months 
, so the item could be long gone. Sometimes I think the pondering, and anticipation of buying is just as fun as actually buying, so I can just skip the last part entirely! 
Being in nature always makes me relaxed and rested. Such beautiful calmness.
Serva and dragonette, I'm the same, I need both! Although when under stress
It is annoying, but the savings are nice, too!
It's the shopping and looking that's most fun for me. Sometimes I put stuff into my cart and then just close the page completely without checking out... I find that I often forget about it altogether. If I do go back to the site again, then I will actually consider making the purchase. If I don't think about it again, usually a few months later when it crosses my mind, I'd feel glad I didn't pull the trigger. This applies more to clothes and other stuff though. With H it's a bit harder... We have to grab it when it appears!
I totally agree.
Your snowy pics make me miss being in a colder climate. I'm on the US west coast now, but am from the northeast. When I lived in the city there, I loved early mornings after snowstorms. Walking to work would be so quiet, peaceful and pretty! I also miss how the trees branches would become crystalized with ice in the evenings, causing them to glisten with the city light, and creak with the wind.

I do the same, including pouncing with Hermes! There, if I see it, and love it, I buy it...assuming it's mostly a rational decision!
I saw someone on IG get one recently, and am hoping it was from a H store and not resale...
Speaking of rational decisions... I walked past my SG H store today, popped in and asked them to re-activate my global search for a duoCarmen in noir/noir... even if they cost more here. (they have tried once, a few months ago, and informed me they failed)
Will you use it for keys, or as a charm? I have two, but feel a bit badly having one bounce around in the bottom of my bag! The sliky smooth lambskin seems so delicate. I only carry a few keys, which I access infrequently, and my car is keyless. As I I don't really need a key ring, mine are currently more decorative!
I hope they find one for you! I love Carmens, and the duo is especially cute!
