Post some pics of the socks!

Every Christmas, my mother would gift us with silly socks and as our family grew, she kept on gifting socks. One Christmas, she decided to change it up and gave us different gifts. We were so disappointed that we didn’t get our socks! She was surprised as she didn’t think we would care if we didn’t receive socks as they were just a small gift, nothing compared to the expensive gifts but those $1 socks were the best. She went out the next day and got us our socks. From now on, socks for Christmas is our ‘tradition”. Yes, it’s the little things

What a sweet story!

I love this tradition of yours (I might borrow this idea next Christmas, lol). Thanks for sharing.

I haven’t bought a new bag since Halloween so almost 4 months without a new bag (a record for me? Lol). But I have bought about a dozen new $1 socks. Here are the new ones from today.

I like your fun happy socks! Congrats on sticking to your ban too!

I think R2 and BB8. They are so cute... The pics aren't the greatest and are a little dark as night time light isn't the best. But here they are. The elephant is something we already had so he got to join his star wars friends. lol!

Thanks C . I love TJ Maxx — I still browse their bags for fun but can easily resist (even when I saw a brand new heather grey border rivet duffle there last month).



Thanks BBG . We have a lemon tree so the lemon socks were a no brainer.



Thanks A . I had to do a search of the thread because I couldn’t remember your Berry MK. It’s good you gotten rid of 5 bags to make room for your newbies. I hear ya on the need to stop spending — with a new pool filter, college tuition, property tax and more . All I can buy these days are $1 socks, lol.

You have a lemon tree?? Lucky! Do you use a lot of lemons for cooking and/or cleaning?

I am always relieved when a bag doesn’t work out! Lol

Me too! Lol!

I'm bummed out this morning. Last night my husband told me about a guy who died at an young age of 42. Same old as my DH. This morning I looked up the obituary and found out he died the day after celebrating his 11th anniversary. I couldn't hold my tears back.. I can't imagine what this family is going through. Makes me appreciate my family so much more! Such a sad reminder to never take life for granted...
Two weeks ago my husband's co-worker's mother died suddenly of heart attack. She was perfectly healthy. Another neighbor's dad's friend also died a sudden death. I am just so saddened by all these sad news. Sorry guys .. just had to let it out.

Hugs, my dear h. Some days (weeks, years!) are really hard.

here's a picture of my aquamarine Balenciaga. I failed to get a good picture that shows the color well so this is a picture I got from the seller.

Oh my! love that color!!!! Congrats!

I use a few and the rest falls to the ground/rot . I try to give some away when I have time/energy to pick. I can’t reach many since I am a shortie. I don’t try to get the ones in the back since I got bad bug bites on my legs when I tried to go back there twice (with Capri length pants). So the gardener takes care of the ones on the ground. We have a second tree but that one doesn’t yield any, I think.

So cute! My favorite are the dark blue ones.

Confession: The other day I went to the outlet to return some slg's and I ended up buying more slg's.... because, you know, slg's are not ban breakers and they are often too cute to leave behind. I will try to take a pic later so I can share with you guys.

Lol, just clouds. I wish you all can help me use these lemons instead of throwing the fallen ones in the green recycling can (seems wasteful but don't want to use ones that might have been gnawed on by squirrels and other critters.).

SLGs are fun little treats — can’t wait to see yours .

My yellow turnlock crossbody delivery has been delayed an extra day. Have to wait a couple days now. Dying to see the yellow on this bag.
