This gorgeous rose weekender finally arrived late this afternoon. It began its travels in Germany, waiting a full week to catch a plane across the Atlantic, landed, went through customs, came to my city, then backtracked to Cincinnati for several days. Made me think of this guy.

WKRP in Cincinnati

Anyhow, it did leave Cincinnati and has finally made it to my house.

Finally! Thanks to my kind Canadian buddy... I owe this little baby finding her way to me. New to my porch this morning, (I had no idea this leather was so lovely...) a fuzzy, sparkly 03 black Monk First. Heavier than chèvre, but worth every ounce.. :happydance:

I had one as well many moons ago. I love monk leather. A very different animal from Chevre. Enjoy your latest rare beast. ❤️

Such amazing condition!! :loveeyes: I also had one of these, and I am now wondering why I let it go. I don't usually re-buy bags that I sell, but I would easily get another one of these :panic:

Thank you! I am pretty stoked about how different it is and yet so pretty. It’s a hefty weight (says the spoiled princess) compared to our beloved chèvre babies, but small enough that even I can’t whine about it! :lol:

Ahhh. Thank you!❤️ I’ve been searching for one of these ever since I realized they existed. I’ve seen one other that was very worn, so much so, that most of the sparkly finish was gone. So very surprised and tickled that this is how they are meant to look.

Congratulations on this sparkly beauty! Does the leather smell differently from any '02 monk and/or '03 chevre that you may have?

Thank you! I wouldn’t have it without the help of one of our kindest Pf’rs ever! I’m so grateful to have it. I’ll remember you if/when another pops up. It does sometimes seem that the crazy oldies show up in threes.

I’m remembering when I found a chocolate Village on eBay, and Deco found a blue one within a few weeks! :tup:
