Posting these for fun and because I love blue.

Aegean blue pebbled can be seen in the Pacific Ocean and blue skies of Hawaii!

O how I wish to be in Hawaii! Beautiful picture and what a lovely blue.
I can't tell if the strap on the Theia Midi is adjustable for crossbody wear like the regular size Theia. I hope it is.

Tuscania in any color would be lovely.
I sure hope it is adjustable for crossbody wear. That is a huge deal breaker for me.
I think I am going to get a Cassandra in midnight tusciana with dark gunmetal hardware and an exterior slip pocket.

I want bordeaux tusciana....so I am trying to decide if I do my original, pre-release plan of Demetra with flat handles and exterior pocket....or do a Theia or Calista instead....thoughts?
O Cassandra. See I still need to ask for a longer strap to go with my Daphne. But since Colette told me that shipping will cost pretty much the same as getting another bag, I have been thinking about my next MM bag purchase. I was about to do Cassandra in tuscania leather too! Bordeaux Tuscania sounds beautiful! But now I want midi Theia because I think those dimensions work better for me. I'm not really a big bag girl.
What other leathers are you considering?
I think I am mostly considering Tuscania because I love the midnight blue one that I have in Penelope. It feels very light, durable, and the distressing gives it character! I need to look through the other thread tho for pictures. I'm a little undecided with the color. I'm slightly worried that biscotti might be too light for me. I also kinda like the Athene that Colette has. I'm not really sure how that compares to Tuscania. I think I'm trying to go for a vintage old bag feel. :amuse:

Odebbie! I am with you re the Tuscania.. such a hardwearing and light leather at the same time. The midnight Blue is a wonderful true blue, so you cant go wrong with this in a Cassandra !
Whether you should have a Demetra/ Calista/ Theia is depending on the fact if you want the bag for some special usage? All are so different!
E.g the Demetra.. for sure my shopping bag as well aa BEs Hold me and also a good car bag, especially if I have grandchildren with me.. here a zippered bag will not suit well at all... but if you are just looking for a 'bag' .. you know what I mean.. all three models are lovely!
 
I understand you so well!! I too have a kindle, and I admit I have given away quite a few of my easy reading novels, but I can't do this with the more hardreading ones, where I need to go back to find a specific reference or so. Here having the book in my hands, I can keep a piece of paper in these specific references! I just cant find my way in a kindle book.. lol.. And not to mention educational books.. here it is impossible for me to use anything other than the book itself! As for my children's books, I kept them all!! And now my grandchildren have begun enjoying them :smile:

Well, there's nothing like a spring promotion to get you to pull the trigger on a some new bags. So, I have ordered a Calista in Whiskey Tuscania, exterior pocket and extended strap, a Calista in Granite Grey Tuscania, exterior pocket and extended strap and a Theia in Avio Athene. I don't think I have ever ordered 3 bags at once. So, back to the closet to cull a few more old faves to help fund this.
Lol.. I admit, I also caved and I am also having the similar Grey in Calista , I also would have liked the Avio, but since the Tuscania leathers are limited, I chose othe Tuscanias. The Calista is the ideal choise for me going the the therapies since I can through sheets, shoes, towels and anything else in it in random order.. and the outee pocket can hold purse, keys etc.
Looking forward to hear about your thougts!:biggrin:

Due to self imposed purse ban, I will post what I just received.

Selene midi biscotti.. Fushia lining. She is pretty sweet.
This is one gorgeous colour!! It reminds me alot of a very lovely Tan matte MM used to have in the inventory, when working with BE!! I really like the leather as well as model. Somehow this model as well as Cassandra, Aphrodite, Minerva midi and Demetra has become my 'go to town ( read appointments) bag!
Congrats:idea:
 
Speaking of books, I've been building my children's library up again (since my sons are now adolescents and I don't have all of them from when they were little) for my daughters, we have about a 100 hardcover classics, mostly Dr Seuss and an assortment of other classics, but there are still a couple dozen others we want. We read at least a dozen every day in a snuggle heap on the couch or under the covers so we need many to rotate through.

But for myself, definitely kindle.

And as for MMs, I am still banned from ordering so that makes it very easy to behave and not order! Ha ha
I'm excited to hear about you guys ordering and expanding your collections because then there is more overall MMs out there that may eventually trickle down to the secondary market where I can buy!

But honestly I'm not tempted by the spring collection which is making being on the blacklist much less hurtful! :) and I'm bag content in general. I just got my chocolate verona selene midi zip back and I still love it and am using it happily right now. Those straps add a ton of weight now though. It was a lightweight bag but now just as heavy or more so than the vachetta one.

Odebbie, sounds lovely. If I did not have a Bal Day in a beautifully distressed dark blue, I'd be all over midnight tuscania!!
