Happy March to you! It has been a crazy crazy past several weeks, starting with an unfortunate run in with a concrete light pole on January 29th. (What are the odds that I would have two car accidents on January 29th within a 4 year period? First on January 29, 2009 and then again on January 29, 2013??). I am totally and remarkably fine - I even offered to do a cartwheel for the police, firemen, and paramedics as proof. The light fixture also escaped unscathed, but unfortunately, my car did not fare so well.

In any event, here's to a happy healthy new year of the snake! (A belated Chinese New Year hug to all).

I also missed celebrating Valentine's Day on tPf, but here is my belated Valentine's Day contribution:

"Charming animals" 90 silk twill in Corail colorway

I swoon! This picture shows the simple majesty of RED.

So glad to hear you are well despite the accident. I hope it never happens again!

Beautiful Kelly Lala! Good to 'see' you again, and so glad that damage was only to the car. No more of that please ;)

Lala, so glad you weren't injured in the accident! Must've been the same pesky pole that DH claims "jumped out" and scraped the side of my brand new car while he was driving it. :rolleyes: Nice to see you back! Lovely collection of reds :love:

Happy belated Valentine's Day! I picked out my colorway of Galop Chromatique based on the special order "hopeful" I placed. This is colorway 5 in prune / framboise / moutarde, which also seems to go pretty well with my existing vibrato oldie. I haven't really made the shift yet into spring hues - notwithstanding the little groundhog's early spring prediction - but here's my lone attempt to move into lighter days:

Parchment Nepal and raisin vibrato B35 GHW
Isidore horn and pousserie matte gator necklace
MT horn cuff
Extra wide bronze clic H GHW
Prune suede Kelly dog GHW
Galop Chromatique 90 silk twill CW 05

Dear Lala/B] - I'm so sorry to hear about your accident and wish the best of luck for you. I've wondering about you and some other old timers on TPF since we've not heard from you for a while.

I hope all the bad luck you had is over and you're off to a new start for Spring/Summer. Take care my dear friend.

I am a newbie to this forum & a late visitor to your garden. AMAZING BREATHTAKING AMAZING collection. LOVE it!i may be out of line on this next comment...but you mentioned you have 3 kids ... You have an amazing body! I have four kids myself and appreciate how hard it is to get into a pair of jeans without going up in size. I apologize if the comments are offensive!
