Hi! I´m Eulalia. I was supposed to have the money I need to buy a H bag but then on Friday I got a letter. I will have to pay back some of the student aid I got in 2006. I made a mistake in my calculation so I can´t even blame anybody but myself. I feel so stupid. After the most difficult year of my life (our beloved dog died, I divorced, my Grandma died, we found out my sisters fiance has been unfaithful and they even have a baby) I was so looking forward to my trip to Paris and later to Asia. My plan was to buy my bag from one of cities we are visiting but now I´m not sure I can do it. There is still some hope but now I´m just so angry and disappointed.

Eulalia...that is my aunt's name- I never heard of anyone esle who had it aside from her grandmother, who she was named after! Wow! I have to tell her now!
Keep hoping for that dream bag- it will come at the right time!

Eulalia, keep your H dream alive - even if you cannot purchase an H bag in the near future, thinking about H will definitely make you feel good. Good luck to your H acquisition!
 
swonderful Actually Eulalia is not my real name but I have always been called that and I really like that name.

LuvBirkin Thank you for your kind words. :heart: Luckily I already have some H goodies so I´m not totally H-less. And right now it looks like I can buy a bag after all. I just have to wait a few months.
 
Remember that Bolide I was asking about whether to get black or gold? It's going to be a while............

::sigh:: I'm not known for my patience. Can anyone pass along their tips for staying patient while waiting for their dream bag/hoping for a lucky hit on eBay/trying to get on the waiting list? Serves me right for wanting a dream bag with less-than-popular specs.
 
Hi everyone!

I mostly lurk in the Hermes subsection and thought that I would and say hello!

I would like to join the other "ladies in waiting" in this lovely thread. I've been lusting after a Birkin for a really long time, but can't justify spending that amount on a handbag. My FI and I are getting married this year and hoping to buy our first house together. I guess the current state of the housing market is good for first-time buyers like us, but the DC area is so expensive. Anyway, I digress....

I'm been saving into my "Hermes" account every month, but at the rate I'm going and with the price increases, I think I will be waiting for a really long time. I've actually toyed with the idea of selling my entire handbag collection to fund my dream Birkin, but I think the pratical side of me overruled that scheme. My FI just shakes his head because he is incredibly frugal and does not understand my handbag obsession.

So, hello everyone, and I'm happy to wait with all of you!
 
Welcome, SuLi!

I can't even justify a Picotin (or the shawl that I'm dying to buy) right now, so I totally understand. Maybe if you get a super fantastic deal on your house?! That seems to be possible these days...

Thanks for waiting with us :angel:
 
kenzie, I can't speak for anyone else...but I'm really not
good with being patient. But having to be patient certainly
helps with the learning of delaying instant gratification. Coming
here (on the whole board itself) and talking to everyone actually
helps. I also get inspiration from the many reveal threads. And I
believe that someday (even if it takes a LOOOONG time) it will
be my turn to have a big orange box reveal. :)
 
Well, I set up a separate savings account just for buying H goodies. I'm planning to put $5 in it for every 30 minutes I exercise and also sock away extra money when I get it. It will be fun seeing that balance grow (while my body gets smaller, I hope!).

Both will take lots of patience!
