BTW, I went to Coach yesterday to check out the sale and bought nothing. Anything I wanted was not 50% off which were the green triple crossbody and the grace 20 in blue.

Hi everyone!
Wanted to check in briefly to show you photos of my MM Theia in pebbled green leaf.
Is the blue one only in stores? I didn't see one online--I only see the regular size Grace? I am not looking for one, just curious as I think Grace 20 is the bag I picked up on clearance at the department store a while back in metallic.BTW, I went to Coach yesterday to check out the sale and bought nothing. Anything I wanted was not 50% off which were the green triple crossbody and the grace 20 in blue.
Thank you, fellow hobo lover! The Theia has become my favorite bag of Massaccesi.Oh my, this is just the perfect green hobo. Love the color, leather and outside pocket. Congrats and enjoy,
Here's what decided to bloom today. I am so excited! I texted all my gardening friends. I've been waiting for two years for this to bloom. My poppy has two buds so hopefully tomorrow the other one will bloom. I love this colour so much and that gorgeous structure on the inside. It was swaying in the wind so I took a ton of photos just to get this one.

Those white flowers on the grass are from an azalea my brother-in-law gave me which was basically dead but I've been able to bring it back. We had lots of flowers so now I need to dig up some more lawn to plant it in the ground. It's been in a pot since last winter.
Today was the Coach VIP event I was invited to and it was very fun. I wasn’t sure what to expect but my two lovely SAs were working so that was fun to catch up.
Pretty candy snacks. I ate a macaron. I love gummy candies but I had a bad incident with a crown and a chewy candy so no more for me.

@Syren here’s our Parker (with a few rivets) with my dark denim Dinky 24. I didn’t buy it. The colour is beautiful but the pocket on the back was not terribly functional as @Alexa5 mentioned to me and I can’t get past the signature print. Please excuse the shadows.

Hey, guess what?! Scratch cards!
View attachment 4446502
There’s a special pop-up store at the mall in my city so these cards must be leftovers from there. I got 25% off a full priced item! My SA had the floral print Charlie in black put on hold for me. But I thought it through and I couldn’t bring myself to pay the price (even with the discount) so I bought the cute pink kisslock change purse instead.

I also bought the medium cadet blue wallet with pink crystal rivets that matches my Charlie. The roses wristlet is a gift for a colleague. I was happy I didn’t buy a bag. I’ve been enjoying my Rogues and Speedies a lot and don’t need so many bags after all.

My gifts from the evening. I love my card case in saddle. I’m going to embellish it with one of those cute stud pins when the summer holidays start. Fun projects!
Well, it's been a rough month here. A water heater leak cost us $1400 out of pocket and a homeowners insurance claim, so that wasn't fun. Could have been far worse, but it still sucked.
And now I'm on crutches, unable to walk.Background - I have severe plantar fasciitis, which is an inflammation/thickening of the tendon that runs the long way through the bottom of your foot. It's very painful, not super treatable, and I've been dealing with severe PF in my left foot, and mild PF in my right foot, for years. I have extensive tearing and shredding of that tendon in the left foot.
Sunday night I was chasing our pug puppy around the back yard, and managed to slip and further injure that tendon on my bad foot pretty severely, causing even more tearing, and unbearable pain. Saw my podiatrist yesterday and he gave me the bad news that I may not be able to walk for two weeks or more.
Good news is that the super slick knee scooter below is being delivered today. I do not do well on crutches, having chronic back and shoulder issues. The scooter will hopefully enable me to go back to working at the office, as I work in a large building. I might want to invest in a helmet...I anticipate some wheeeeeeeee! moments in my near future. Hopefully my body decides to cooperate in healing at least back to the pain level I was at before the Sunday night injury.

I wanted a british tan Willis made in Costa Rica soooooooo baaaaaaaad but I either dilly dallied about spending the money (or finding the space for another vintage bag) and I missed out on a great BIN price or I got outbid on several auctions. I did eventually get one in near perfect condition for a good price. You just have to realize that you may have to wait a little bit for another try but most types of bags do show up again. It also helps me to gauge how badly I wanted the bag. If I lose an auction and shrug and say "meh", maybe I didn't want it bad enough. But if I feel heart broken and need a big piece of chocolate cake to feel better then I know I need to pounce on the next one I see!
As for the bf, he probably does take up a lot of space, most of them do. Once I got rid of mine I had a whole entire empty closet just for my bags!! Ha ha ha ha!![]()
Jail cell for Stick? Sorry Stick. I think it could be a cozy set up. Iamminda can decorate it nicely.Thursday Poll! My new PO Box is...
1. Just what I need since I have no mailbox right now
2. The perfect jail cell for Stick. I mean he fits in just perfect and it's 24/7 postal service in the lobby.![]()
Woohoo! Congrats, LT! You have been on a roll!Board Announcement....
My second romance novel is now in the hands of the HQ peeps. I feel at least a Fall Season bag coming from this one's proceeds and a little SLG make it rain.![]()
Love that color! I can't wait to see my Phoebe in this color. Who knows when I'll get it, though.Hi everyone!
Wanted to check in briefly to show you photos of my MM Theia in pebbled green leaf.
That's great news! I hope she can turn the store around. She will gain your business for sure. Now you need to think of more bags to buy.So this is interesting. At some point I had done some feedback from an email from Coach about my experience at the actual store. That visit was with the nice SA, and I said nice things about her, but said I rarely go there because it is typically less than pleasant. I don't even remember what I said. It asked if the info could be shared with the store, and I said yes.
Today I got an email from nice SA, thanking me for the feedback and glad I had a good experience with her, and said she is the new manager. Wow! She apologized for the lesser experiences and hoped they could turn that around. I called her briefly and said congrats, and yes, it was really bad for years, and I would have given so much more business over the last many years if it had been different. And I told her about the "fun" (not) Mother's Day event. Anyway, at least the nice SA is now a manager and I am on her "client" list so I can work directly with her for anything I am looking for.
That said, I don't want to look for anything for a while! lol!!!
