That's a nice dress. It's pretty normal and I wouldn't have guessed it was MJ.
Ahh, the dreaded ‘nice’. [emoji6]
It is a simple dress. I liked it more though when I read that Tracee Ellis Ross, said that the headwrap made her feel powerful; ‘a joyful warrior’.
I'm never moving to a place without parking ever again. I figured the worst case scenario would be having to walk half a mile on a nice day.
The worst case scenario was actually roadwork where you can't park on one side of multiple streets. And having it be street sweeping day, so you also can't park on the only side available on some streets until 1pm. And it's pouring. I literally cannot get home.
Because I'm already complaining, my landlord is trying to increase the flat fee utility rate before the lease is over. He can't and it's not my problem, but I know he's not going to renew the lease, or he will but he's going to increase it. Either way I'm 90% sure I'm going to have to move in the spring.
What's it like to like in a place for longer than a year, people who have recently lived in places for longer than a year? Do you, like, start lives and stuff? So weird. So foreign.

I just found this thread a few days ago and it reminds me of the 'Friends Chat' here on PF.
If this is not right area to direct my question please request the moderator to move it. i thought i could ask my question on this thread as it is MJ related, and i notice you ladies address other topics as the aforementioned group.
Last month, i found a bagful of MBMJ some of it is nwt, some needs to be repaired, some are perfect. I may try to recustom some of the pieces? Has anyone ever sent any jewelry back to the company or only bags/clothing? What was your experience like? Tia.

Sorry to hear that parking is such a problem where you live, faith. I despise walking to my car in a heavy downpour; this happens in FL too.
I don’t like packing up and moving, and unpacking either. It always starts out very organized, with me carefully wrapping things and putting them nicely in boxes. It ends with me just throwing things in my car haphazardly.
I wish that you could find a place where you could live; at least for a few years. It would be even better if you found a neighborhood with good Chinese food and a pie shop nearby.
Hi, Simplyput! I wish that I found a bagful of MJ stuff!
I have only had one bag repaired. The edgepaint on a bag handle cracked. They did an excellent job. They stated that the bag had to be a year old or less; this bag was older, but for some reason they accepted it. It might have been because I paid full price for it at Saks.
I don’t think that they are going to replace or repair costume jewelry, unless you purchased it from the MJ site. Again I think that you might need to be able to show some type of proof of purchase. The watches I believe have a 1 year warranty; companies are usually a little better on accepting watches for repair.
Have you thought about selling some of it?
If you feel comfortable with it, @Simplyput please post some pics of your MJ loot. Not to sell of course; this is not allowed in a regular thread.
Hope this helps.
Do you know what the red bird was? I could try a make it a necklace. I think i can repair the brown bird necklace. The ball necklace just needs to be untangled. The butterfly brooch would be the only thing i would try to submit for repair after getting direction from you ladies.

Finally this is my favorite piece from this bag -- the two pink enameled birds necklace. It still has the $298 tags attached. I find my jewelry at flea markets and thrift stores, normally i buy only 14k or 925, but will buy designer costume jewelry. I have found Tiffany and Company and most of the time don't pay more than ten dollars, normally averaging $1-2 a piece. Thank you for sharing your experiences of Marc Jacobs, the women in the jade thread have helped me as well when i had to ask them questions.I just need to buy a chain for the heart watch.

@Simplyput You found some great MJ jewelry!
I think that the red bird is called a snow bunting, and was from a line called, ‘Save the Birds’. I think making it a necklace is a good idea. It looks like you just need to put a chain through the rings that are already there.
The brown necklace is from the ‘Petal to the Metal’ line. I have not seen this one before. I think that this one would be quite desirable to a MJ collector.
The dragonfly brooch is really pretty! Unfortunately I see that it lost some rhinestones and a wing. I have found it fairly difficult to find matching rhinestones for jewelry. When you do, you have to buy a fairly big lot, and the cost is often not worth the repair. I do not think that MJ would be able to repair/replace the missing dragonfly wing.
You could call though, but again I doubt that they are going to be able to help you.
I am just chiming in. @faith_ann is the real resident MJ expert. Hopefully she will comment later.

That's quite the find!
The brown Petal to the Metal necklace should also be beaded up the other side -- did the spare beads come with it?
Here's a link to one on eBay to show what it looks like:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-100...COBS-Petal-to-the-Metal-Necklace/161021058041
The golden heart with the clock is from a piece called Kissing Doves. That necklace has two birds with the heart hanging below them.
(Edit: I originally said this necklace was also from Petal to the Metal, my apologies.)
Here's a link to one on Nordstrom:

As Mimmy said, the red bird is the Save the Birds Snowbunting Donna Pin/Pendant.
Here's one on Polyvore:

I'm not familiar with the hummingbird necklace but a quick search suggests it might be called the Nancy? It appears to be from the same collection as the Snowbunting.

Thank you Mimmy and Kittentoes. You ladies are a wealth of information. I didn't even know those were hummingbirds. Lol.
Happy to help!
Please do note I edited my post above -- the second necklace is called Kissing Doves.
