Just quickly—Dad in hospital, I am reading posts. No time to unbox new bag I got.

Be well and behave, ladies.

I'm sorry to hear this, Iamminda. Praying things improve soon.

That's wonderful! DH and I did that a couple decades ago. Great that you can do this before more glaciers melt. So happy for you!

Thank you!!!

Vancouver is gorgeous. I could live there. Will try to remember what we did. Seattle is fun too.

Thank you! I welcome any recommendations you want to share.

Yes! It's funny how simple it used to be and now to want to bring a variety of bags on a trip! For a trip, I definitely like a small bag to carry around, especially if it's hot. I don't prefer to wear bags crossbody, but I like the ability to wear it that way as needed. Some of your cute ones are good for sightseeing and going out at night. Right now, if I can only take 2 with me, it's a Dinky and something larger to bring things. The chain strap dresses up the Dinky and small pouches a bit.

I am debating if I should take one of my tea rose Dinky's or just one of my tearose clutches with the Dinky chain. Maybe I'm over thinking things.

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.

Good for you that you got away and didn't turn back! Hope everything is going as planned by now.

Yeah I agree what you said about the site vs the app. I feel like I’m always scrolling and then after I post I feel like I end up rereading stuff and I get a lost with the sequencing of posts.

Me too! Both on the computer site and mobile page. Although I feel like the mobile one is clunkier. Plus who has time to be emailing pics from the phone so that you and download and then upload? The mobile site does not give you a straight path to your gallery like the app would. Ugh, it's a pain to upload pics.

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

Congratulations to your DD and her proud parents! Glad you took some time out to enjoy. ((Hugs))

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.

Oooh what lovely purple! Hope it brings you a little joy to look at it during this hard time.

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.

So true!

Looks super nice and soft! Don’t feel guilty. Enjoy it!

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!!

So the Black Nolita is a winner. Love the gold hardware and I can dress it up or down, and have a gold chain or black leather to wear as a crossbody. I also think it makes a nice dressy wristlet without it being too fancy, if that makes sense. Lol. The red clutch is going back. Now I remember why it doesn’t work for me, my keys. My darn keys can’t fit. I know I won’t take keys off or use another configuration to make it work. Too bad because I love the color too.

Thanks!
You should go on one. They can be really great and a very affordable to see many places depending on what you choose. My guys looove cruises, so I am out numbered. So far we have visited 15 countries while on different cruises. I highly recommend it!

I do have a cruise on my list!

Oh shoot I haven’t tried posting a pic yet. It’s that bad? Ugh. ☹️

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

I love the 1941 clutch! I have that in dark denim. Is the Nolita like our Yankee Doodle but in black leather?

 

[musiclover]

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

Hi e! I have two regular size Rogues---the dark denim and the black rivets. I've posted these pictures previously.

I bought my denim Rogue the tearose strap. A match made in heaven! The pink tearose tag was a gift from my former SA.


My black rivets beauty. Thinking about getting her a strap, too.


My first Rogue was the chalk 25. I've added the tearoses for a bit of customization.


I am very keen to receive my navy rivets Rogue 25 and shall consider my collection complete. Unless a peony Rogue with tearose rivets comes my way....
