Meanwhile, tidying up my little office at home. Pulling out all my designer catalogs & general information. Moving them over to my scarf collection as that is separate from my clothes & stuff that actuallly gets used.

Does anyone have a system for sorting paper ephemera?

This is general reference material & there are all sizes and sorts of material.

Am at a complete standstill right now. Any and all advice from anyone would be most welcome?

Mods I f this should be somewhere else please let me known?

I keep magazine or web pictures of enticing outfits, often 50's suits that look Chanel-influenced or 1970's clothing from 1st dibs.

Mostly I keep fashion related stuff. I put the pictures in plastic sheets and then in binders. It takes a long time to go thru the stuff I pull from magazines or the Web, sorting them by topic.

Anything goes in the Chat threads. There is no topic restrictions, no need for keeping to a specific topic. It's loose. None of the constraints as on other threads.

Thanks Eagle!
This will take a while!

I have all my Hermes scarves on a spreadsheet but it’s somewhat out of date on an old laptop. There are photos of most too but not linked on the data base.

Never bothered with documenting the other more utilitarian items.

First everything is getting grouped into similar piles around the house.

The reward from sorting is that you are apt to find things quickly. When I retired I had to produce a marriage certificate. DH just gulped, he had no clue where it was. I immediately pulled it out where it was stored and voila! Problem solved.

Storing scarves on the other hand is hard. They tend to have multiple colors and I can't just group them according to colors.

I hope it’s OK to post here as this musing was deleted from another thread. I am learning what to post where :smartass: but I am really curious on what the group thinks about my 'theory'.

I don’t know why we are so keen on the bot theory on H.com. Someone posted there that a combination of low stock, high demand, exacerbated by people having more chance and time to browse, should sufficiently explain the difficulty of getting anything from H.com

I argue that 0.0001% of US population IS 300 people and if half gets the bag dump on a particular day at that particular second, the other half would complain on TPF that they get nothing.

I like to think that H stores are casinos and H.com is online casino. Anyone shares this thinking? :smile:

I like your analogy of the casino; what's the first rule of gambling? The house always wins. :biggrin:

Good for you Eagle!
Wish I could invite you up to organize our document life!
Our personal papers live in almost clear large document folders. These are kept in pull-out vintage (difficult to open) metal file credenzas, like to see as much as possible.
Definitely cataloging is the tricky part IMO.

Constantly trying to improve our systems.

Think there is a book on filing somewhere, but it’s very probably buried in the basement somewhere.

My scarves have moved into the sewing room along with all the textiles and sewing equipment & are living a good life.

So I wanted to post this on the chat thread since it's just a random thought I've been having ... I'm planning on purchasing the B35 Cargo from a reseller since watching this video over and over again:


And after watching it so many times, I've noticed that this bag does not look like the reseller's bag. I'm wondering if this person is reviewing a fake bag Ugh, youtube ...

I've seen the Cargo being carried and it looks both classy and sporty at the same time. So, I hope you will be happy with that purchase if you decide to get it.

Undoubtedly your scarves are living their best life in that new location. :)
