So I had a nice surprise today, and I just hope it all works out, because I am super excited. This will mean I can quit trolling ebay, mercari, posh for the melon tea rose dinky. And be done with my wishlist!

Today I was doing my quick check of the sites for that one bag, and one of them had a tea rose dinky of a different color that was a new listing. I go to look at it just to see the photos, and lo and behold the actual bag was the melon tea rose dinky (not the stock photo in front). I was not wasting time with offers, and purchased that thing so quickly, lol! I knew if I did an offer someone else would be smarter than me and buy it (as other tea rose items that are hard to find go very quickly if reasonably priced). Hoping it all works out, I get the bag, love the bag, but I was super surprised!

I've never found a double kisslock vintage coin purse. I used to have double kisslock nonvintage that was big enough for credit cards. I shouldn't have gotten rid of it. It looked like this: View attachment 5342704

I have two vintage coin purses. I've never used either. They are so cute I don't want to ruin them with coins!

I used to have a bunch of tiny nonvintage coin purses. The only one I ever used was one that was already in lousy condition. Again, I didn't want to ruin them. Here are a couple. Aren't they adorable?

Now I use a vintage Chanel for my coins. It isn't a kisslock. It is black leather in and out so I don't have to worry about coins staining it.View attachment 5342710

These are so cute! I especially like the leather ones.

Yeah! That's exciting! I hope it is exactly what you want, and in excellent shape, when it arrives.

Do you ladies ever think “Forget about the ban, just buy the bag already!”? :lol:. I do sometimes, like I kinda want one of the denim bags since I don’t have anything like that in my collection. (I have to admit, I almost want to put denim bags in the novelty bag category which doesnt count in my bag count but I better not!). Other times, I think how proud I (and maybe my ban island friends too?) would be if I stick to my ban of bags for a little longer. I know I bought a few LC bags this year but they are not part of my bag total count. I resisted buying a LC leather XS last month because it’s leather hence, a real bag :lol:. Maybe I will feel less guilty about buying a real bag if I can sell the bags I have listed. I only sold one bag in 2022. In the meantime, I am enjoying all my new bags from last year so no regrets there.

On another note, we miss LT of course but lately been missing BeachBagGal — haven’t seen her since early Dec. Hope she is just busy and can drop in later when she has time.

Well, I'm the wrong person to ask because you know I do that from time to time. :giggle: On the other hand, you are probably the best at staying on a ban here on the island, so why not? See? I'm not help! :lol:

I'm missing LT and BG too. Hope they are ok.

I have some adorable charms that were made for charm bracelets that work well on smaller bags or on zipper pulls. I have a few on bags. On the BV, I use it on the zipper pull because both sides of the bag are exactly the same and there is a zippered compartment on each side. With the charm, I know which side to open for my things.

These are adorable! I prefer them to the butterfly fob. For some reason, I have not liked that one much.

Yay! Glad to hear you found a bag from your wishlist! Here's hoping it comes quickly and is in mint condition. :cool:
