The Hawaii stamp is gorgeous. I got it stamped in gold on my DE luggage tag. But they really won’t let you just buy one right there.

The Montsouris backpack is pretty as well, but I didn’t like all the vachetta on the bottom. The canvas so far has been really sturdy on that bag. Mine is from 2012 so it’s been on many a journey with me. Not sure about a newer bag though. I’d probably be afraid for a Palm Springs backpack though.

Yes, this is what I want to do. The gold Hawaii stamp on my DE luggage tag. I'm happy I was able to get one when I bought my Speedy. My SA is very good to me. Now, I just cannot forget to bring my luggage tag with me. That's what I'm worried about.

I forgot about all the vachetta on the Montsouris. That would be a challenge to find a preloved one in good condition. I'll need to think further about that. Thanks for the reminder!

Congratulations to your DD, Iam! Have a wonderful time tonight! It's a special night of celebration for all of you. I love the idea of the graduation lei, and the one you selected is so beautiful. It will be lovely for you to have a little break from everything you have going on and enjoy this moment for DD.

Is tonight the convocation with the gowns and hats? Or is it the dinner dance portion with parents? Every school seems to do things a little bit differently.

Thanks ML . My baby is all grown up, lol. They had the graduation ceremony tonight (gowns and caps). We don’t have a dance party for graduation—sounds fun (especially for parents,). They are going on a grad night celebration at Disneyland tonight (student paid, by bus, one full day at the park tomorrow).

Since I was home for a few hours tonight, I snapped a picture of my new bag if ok to share. It is a pristine like-new purple Mahina leather bag. Quite lovely if I may say so, lol. I got this before the situation with Dad. Feel a little guilty for this reveal considering what is going on but just want to share it before reporting back for hospital duty tomorrow am.

This will be my fourth (fingers crossed it all works out) Rogue and that is enough for me. I really only wanted ones with brass hardware. I have a darker coloured hardware on my Charlie bags but I love the cadet blue and dark cherry so that was going to have to be my trade off.


This will be our third time to Maui so we getting a list of our favourites. DH said we will try to do some new things this time so I should have lots of places to report on when we get back.

Great! Please let me know! Do you have the dark denim Rogue with brass? Or do you have all 25s?

Latest update on our move. After hearing that the movers would not be at our house for a week, DH and I packed up our cars and pets and headed to Georgia. Just outside of Nashville, I received a call that a driver would be at our Indiana house today. We did not turn back. Instead, we got a really good friend to be there for us. Stuff might be here on Friday. I will keep you posted! Will also send you photos of of renovations.

I’m glad you were able to find a solution that worked! Good luck!

What a gorgeous color! It’s helpful for our own mental health when dealing with something to take a few mins for ourselves as a break / escape. It’s helps you to be a better caregiver.

Thanks for everyone’s kind words. In the midst of it all, I am taking the night off for DD’s high school graduation. Here’s a pic of her graduation lei, flower and balloon.

Have a good weekend everyone View attachment 4461016

Woohoo! Was there another drunken celebration? You know I live for this stuff with you. Did we outdo Japan?
Congrats and get the keggers ready!

Good morning, Iam! I’m glad DD is having a fun grad event at Disneyland! My kids would have loved that. So much fun!

We have a daytime convocation ceremony with caps and gowns. and a separate dinner dance at a lovely hotel. The grads wear formal clothes and the parents are invited as well. Both events are fun and quite family oriented. Eventually the grads slip off and just the parents are left!

I absolutely love your new bag! I’ve seen a few bags with Mahina leather and the colour of yours is stunning!

There’s nothing to feel guilty about in sharing your reveal. You’re among friends and we all support you. I’m really happy for your new LV because it’s the little things like your new bag that helps us to keep going when we’re having to cope with emotionally challenging situations. I know that to be true for me. Not to downplay the value of good health and relationships and all that, but sometimes I look at my Speedy and I say to myself, “I can do this.”

Take care, Iam! Thinking of you.

Ugh, my week got crazy til last night and then I spent a lot of time uploading pics on the MM thread. I miss the app so much! And I missed you ladies! Off to catch up on this thread. Only 6 pages this time!

I bought the black Nolita (yea, I know. Black. Hah) and the 1941 red clutch.

Black is classic! That's actually a great little bag to have in black since you can wear it with anything. I can just picture the red clutch while waiting for the pictures!!

This is a good idea, TO! I really enjoy my Dinkies when I take them out. I carried my rose Dinky recently to a retirement reception. I might not take my Dinky to Hawaii. I don't want to worry about sunscreen and sand. We've got a couple of other places we will visit in July and I can see my Dinky 24 and LePliage (to carry stuff) having plenty of space.

You have a good idea to avoid the sunscreen and sand with Dinkies! We met friends last night and ended up near water. I put my feet in the water, got splashed a bit, and I was thankful DH was happy to hold the Dinky for me! I hope you have a beautiful time on your trip!
