I saw a Cartier exhibit a couple of years ago in Paris at the Grand Palais. It was extraordinary.
It is fantastic. Gorgeous. You should produce these in quantity.Just because you asked
I found some pictures in my archives, so I don't have to wait for the weekend to post them here.
This is the one I had a silversmith make. It does not look like it from the picture, since there is some chain hanging in the back, but it is a sautoir length, pretty heavy too.

Lovely coat, a timeless classic, and stunning windows! Thanks for posting this.
I was expecting a picture of the snarky dog!
I love dogs, I admire people who adopt dogs that other people rejected, but I must say that I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't have the pretense to succeed where others failed.
Plus, one of my staff adopted a terrier that had been returned after being adopted by three different families. She convinced she could redeem him. The little monster bit her nose off after 4 days. In the first months she was bitten 5 times. I'm sorry, but some dogs deserve their destiny. After all, we put in jail people who hurt others.
Love the coat!
OMG i just realized my Burberry is 45 years old...got it on our honeymoon..and still fits and looks fine.
Congrats on the professional success, well deserved.
I should have taken photos of all the windows, there are 4 animal scenes. I'll be back near the mall soon and will get the rest. The snarky sardine was an absolute sweetheart today in the city, she was very well behaved and had a lovely ladies lunch with my BFF and I.Those windows are marvelous, as is the coat, MrsO! Congrats on the promising networking! And kudos to your friend for giving hope to her new old dog. Sometimes all "problem" dogs need is someone who cares enough to spend some time working with them.
Thank you PP! I'm glad you approve. I tried to break my budget, I really did
but there was nothing for me. I went down the whole list of future bags and not a one was available in a color or leather that I was interested in. There were exotics galore but I need a few more of these dream jobs to make those happen

Like people, every case is different. In this dog's case, she was older and needed training, attention and some love. The breed is snappy by nature but she was a very good dog today. No incidents at all and she even gave me a kiss goodbye!
I'm so glad to hear it, I'm looking at it as a forever piece especially since it can be tailored over the years.
Will PM you, I met your friend and thank you for the congrats. It was a dream come true!
Glad to hear! I am sure I am getting snappier and edgier with age, too, but I hope DH does not give me up for adoption
Congratulations for the new business opportunities! I don't know what you do, but it sounds like a very fulfilling job!
People put in jail for harming others deserve that fate because the legal system has determined that the perpetrator knew the difference between right and wrong and chose to do wrong. Those for whom mental illness blurs that distinction are remanded to secure mental hospitals for treatment. Animals do not, as far as research can show us, have the capacity for reasoning a la homo sapiens, and cannot therefore decide to do wrong. An animal that snaps or bites does so out of instinct and previous behavioral learning--the latter almost always, in the case of domestic companion animals, derived from bad experiences at the hands of human beings. Very occasionally an animal may be born with a cognitive defect that makes them uniquely vicious, but this is very rare. The vast majority of cases of "dangerous" domesticated animals owe their dangerousness to bad, or at least foolish, human beings. While your friend's injury is horrific, MadMadCat, I would question why someone who'd had a dog known to be aggressive for only four days would put her face close enough to it to be so badly hurt. She was clearly trying to do a good thing and her experience was certainly horrible, but I would not go so far as to say that the dog was "a monster" who "deserved" his fate (presumably euthanasia). While that may indeed have been the the only and even the best option for that dog, his harmful behavior was not something he was capable of intending, and he was no more nor less than a dog.
