Meant to B(35)

This is not really a *reveal* since I posted a teaser pick on the offers thread, but I can’t contain my excitement and want to share the whole experience.
I got an email Friday that my SA had something extra special for me! A B35 Etain!!! Work deadlines prevented me from engaging mission obtain B immediately on Friday, so I would have to wait until Saturday. Hubby and I went to pick up Ms Etain Saturday, but my SA had a terrible look on his face. H made a boo boo and the bag was someone’s PO and couldn’t be offered to me. [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24] I left sad and empty handed, but glad they caught it before I left with someone’s PO. If it had been mine, I would have been devastated. My SA promised to make it up to me.
Fast forward to Sunday night. Email from my SA saying that the person declined the bag and she was all mine if I wanted her!! Duh! I was at the store at 10:01 on Monday to pick her up, BUT darn H rules! I already had a quota bag on July 1 and couldn’t purchase her without my husband.... who just left for a week long work trip. Doh!!! H promised to hold the bag until Friday - eeek! Hubby wouldn’t get back until after close Friday [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]
Let the begging commence. Luckily, hubby was only a few hours away and was open to being bribed into driving back for the day and picking up my B!!! Owe him big time!!
It all worked out and I just brought my big orange box home! So excited and couldn’t wait to share! Played a little dress up also! Etain is SOooo versatile! And she seems to be getting along nicely with her B35 siblings! View attachment 4270097
Thank you to all the lovely TPFers who gave advice and showed pictures! I appreciate all of you!
Boy what a roller coaster of events!!! So glad you got Ms. E 35. She is gorgeous!! You are making me want etain. Enjoy her darling.

Thank you! Initially I was worried about getting the GHW as I usually go for palladium.m, but I love it and glad I didn’t scare myself off!
Thank you! I have Etoupe B30 also, and they make a very versatile pair! I’ll take some pictures for comparison of color.
Thank you!
Thank you! Etain is so lovely. I’m a sucker for gray!
Thank you! Arne GHW turned me off initially before I saw it in person. In person, it’s wonderful!
Thank you! I adore her! Time to get her out today to play!
Yes! Gosh darn it I was going to get this B one way or another haha!I’m so glad the B ended up with you. It indeed was meant to B! Congrats! She’s beyond perfect.
Thank you! Me too!
Of course she got to come to work today [emoji847]

Such a chamaleon color. It looks thundery blue grey in this photo. Just splendid!
how could anyone have turned this down? Time for you to buy a lottery ticket!
Stunning!!! I'm in awe... every time I see Etain its soooo muddy. This is absolutely gorgeous!Of course she got to come to work today [emoji847]
I thought the same too! I never really asked for it because I already have Etoupe. This batch of Etain is a true gray though and is just perfect. It is a bit of a chameleon, but I don’t see any browns in it at all.
Beautiful! I'm so happy to see more pictures of Etain. I have a SO Kelly in for Etain and find myself wondering if it's the right color for me, but your pictures tell me it is for sure. Congratulations!
Oh I bet that is wonderful!! Etain is definitely wonderful and I anticipate will be easy to incorporate. I’m sure you bag is stunning also!
I love your taste! Malachite, Etain and Barenia goes with everything while still being exciting!
