You may not be “innocent” :lol: but your choices are never boring and you always seem to do the one in/one out or return thing real quick. You seem to make swift bag decisions to help manage your collection. I almost never get the sense that you feel overwhelmed by your collection.

Thank you for making me feel better, lol! I do try to remove bags to keep the collection at a size I can handle, and I am fortunate to like small bags. I just need to stick to a wishlist and move on to other hobbies. Oh, the handbag game is a funny one....

I agree @Iamminda, I'm always amazed seeing @Alexa5's SUPER gorgeous and intentional purchases (esp the Dinkies) and the one in/out. I'm on a ban but just bought a bag because it's on my wish list and from a tpf friend.

My bag was delivered today. It is misshapen because they didn't stuff it. There might be a permanent fold in it. I'm pretty sure it was shipped from a store. I think the tracking showed it starting in Arizona, although the return address is JAX. I've got it stuffed now. I'll evaluate it tomorrow. I think I like the color. I was afraid it would be too dark.

Which bag was it? Hopefully if you like it the fold is one that will come out.

I decided to return it. I'm not in love with the color. Metallic green seems so random. It doesn't do anything for me and doesn't go with my clothes. I love the style. I need to wait for a kisslock bag that I really love.

Remember last year when we were talking about Le Creuset? I couldn't understand why people loved them so much because whenever I used one, food got stuck and burnt to the bottom and it was impossible to clean. I made spaghetti sauce a few days ago on my new gas stove. I've reheated it several times and it never stuck! I can't believe a stove could make that much difference.

That is funny! I know I have never had trouble with it sticking, so that makes sense :-) Glad it is working better with the new stove!

That’s great that you can now use your L.C. I didn’t know they work better on a gas stove. DH doesn’t use our LC as much after we got the Instapot (with an air fryer part). He uses that at least twice a week.

My new oven has air frying. I haven't tried it yet.

I wanted to add that when I responded to this, I don't have a gas stove, I was just thinking maybe the new aspect of the stove was helpful this time around for you. I use their baking dishes mainly now, and no longer have the dutch ovens, but I never had issues with sticking and such.

Air Frying-- I bought an air fryer about a year or more ago, and I really like it. I use it for easy foods like frozen fish, french fries, and that kind of thing, but they really make the flavor nicer.

+1 on air fryer being great, especially for sweet potato fries. I hate cleaning it though!!! X

Mine is pretty easy, thankfully. The pull out thing that holds the food is really simple to clean, and then I usually also have one of their small trays in it, and that has been okay as long as I spray it with Pam so food doesn't stick. But it is kind of large so that aspect is annoying :smile:

Oh man, this is so pretty A :smile:. For some reason, I thought you already got this color. I can’t remember all the pretty tea rose ones you have (may need to go back and look :smile:).

Thanks! I can make it easy for you because I only have 3 now. I had some in the farther past that I have since sold or shared. I now have this one, the new pink/black one, and black/oxblood.

My memory is so bad :lol:. I thought you have/had a purple tearose one? Maybe it’s the purple link one I am thinking of? In any case, you have the most beautiful Dinkies :)
