@Big Texy Here is another MJ quilted wallet. I think it was called the core clutch. @faith_ann will know if this is incorrect.

I do just carry this sometimes. I love the way it looks. I find it to be fairly heavy though. If I put it in a bag, it can become quite a load.

There are quite a few more MJ wallets that would also complement your bag.

Happy hunting!

Thank you for the suggestions and pics [emoji1]. I really like the Lex for an everyday wallet, it seems to be the right size for what I carry. They seem to hold up well, right? I've seen a few online and they look pretty good, but I guess that depends on how it was treated.
The core clutch is one I've been looking at for a while but it does seem big. Probably like you said, I would carry it more on its own. Which means, I can get any color I want [emoji57] and not worry about matching.

My Lex has held up really well, Big Texy. I use it a lot. I think it helps that it’s black. I had a cognac one too. It started to show a little more wear around the zipper than the black one. I sold it while I could still get a decent price for it. Occasionally I regret selling it though, as MJ quilted bags and wallets are my favorites!

The core clutch looks new, but I don’t carry it that often.

@Mimmy A Core Clutch isn't a thing, but maybe that should be its new name since it was only officially called a Quilted Leather Zip Clutch, which isn't very inspired.

@BigTexy Congrats, it looks great on you! Is it FW10? In that case I think there's a matching LZC and a continental wallet

Hehe! I guess I made up that name. I thought the name was something simple though. [emoji3]

I'm having an interesting weekend.

Friday night, someone knocked on the front door around 5am. The dogs barked and they left. Not the first time I've gotten a weird late night/early morning knock so I didn't bother looking.

I should have looked because once I got up an hour later I realized the car was broken into. Nothing was taken because there was nothing to take, but it was rummaged through and all four doors were left open (had to be recent because the battery wasn't dead). I assume the person who broke into the car was going to try the house until the dogs barked - I don't think a passerby who saw the car and wanted to let us know would have climbed over the fence.

So fine, whatever. It's a city, these things happen. Nothing was taken.

This morning, though, someone had pulled the long wood stick holding a plant up out of the dirt and propped it next to the front stairs. There's zero chance it could have tipped over. It was a foot away, there are plants in between it would have fallen on, it was several inches in the dirt, and it wouldn't have landed straight up against the porch railing. I have a fence so it's not anything someone could have randomly done walking by or anything. Kind of creepy.

Tomorrow morning I have court so these last few days have been a joy lol

Not good, faith_ann. Please be careful. I am bothered by all the strange things that you are experiencing. It’s a weird time in the states, probably everywhere for that matter.

Hope court goes okay.

Thanks. Me, too. I’m nervous as hell about it.

The strange stuff is at least just strange and not super concerning. I did feel better when I lived in a place with a higher fence, though lol

This is all scary-strange. Do you think it's the same person? Could it have something to do with your awful landlord???

I hope your court date goes well. Fingers crossed for you.

Appreciate it!

Someone else suggested that, too, but I don't think so. There are plenty of car break ins and strange knock posts on Next Door, though usually it's and/or and not both, and moving the wood the next night is a little random. If it was even the same person - they heard the dogs the previous night and the wood was handy for a weapon, but something else spooked them the second time? I don't know. A neighbor gave us an extra security sign to put by the door. Can't hurt.

Thanks @faith_ann ! I'm so glad I got it. It's FA08 and in really great shape. I like the wallet you added here too, there seem to be more to choose from than I originally thought, which is nice. I found another style on Poshmark that I like too, but not sure if black is really what I want. The hunt continues!

I am so sorry you are going through all of this! Happy to hear that y'all are all ok, but it's still not a good feeling to think people are traipsing around your house at night. Maybe you need a motion activated disco ball and strobe lights outside your front door? That would freak me out for sure.
Thinking about you today as you head to your court appearance. I hope everything works out in your favor and it's the last time you have to deal with this guy! :hugs:
