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!

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!
I love those kiss locks!
 
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.
Gorgeous color! I love poppies.
 
Hello my beloved ban islanders! It's been a rough two weeks and I have come in to tpf off and on for bits of time - never enough time to enjoy my favorite thread. Now I have 30+ pages to read! :amazed: I'm sure I'll enjoy every last one. :biggrin: I promise I have been good. No bag or slg shopping for me. :angel:
Now off to read every juicy bit. :drinks:
Hi C! I hope this week is much much better! Have fun catching up!
 
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!!!
Yay! I hope this means it will be very pleasant when you go visit the store now.
 
So I ordered a Nolita wristlet on sale at Coach.com last week. Well I thought I did. There’s no confirmation of order and I never received it. Hmmm. It’s now sold out. Oh well. The only confirmation I had was from FOS (last wk sale) and I already received it last week. Go figure. Buuuut I might have something else coming with my freebie.
:( I hope you get your Nolita wristlet! Did you already show us the other goodies?

I plant whatever too. I am not a "real" gardener. lol We often buy random annuals, and some that we know work well, each year and see what happens. This year we went to 3 - 4 different flower sales on a Saturday morning, and picked up some new and different ones. Everything is just blooming like crazy--so pretty. We do have some perennials, but some of them do not come back as well as others, so we fill in with annuals.

Haha! Exactly I don’t consider myself a real gardener lol My landscaping really needs some work. My BF planted a bunch of bushes before we got together many years ago. And some of them were supposed to be small and they have turned into trees at this point LOL so removing them will damage concrete if not done right. Part of me just wants to cut them down and just build a giant porch over them and start over haha

lol! When we moved to our house there were 3 pine trees that were planted close together. I can't remember why but we removed a couple of them, and thank goodness we did, because the tree we left has become HUGE. If there had been two other trees, I am not sure what would have happened. The roots on the current tree keep getting bigger and bigger. I hope they don't cause issues.

You dodged a bullet!

Oh wow that is good they took your issues seriously. Hopefully working with her will be better!

My SA is in another state so I only talk on the phone with her or through text. She’s very helpful and nice. I feel bad because I haven’t been interested in anything (yet!) this sale. I am waiting to see if a couple charms go cheaper or if they do the extra 20% on sale items like they did for the Holiday SAS. I’m not holding my breath.
