It's 9:48pm. Paris. Jet lagged.

Went to BV this afternoon. Wonderful service but it felt different everywhere. A lot of police everywhere. Had to go through security check everywhere - from Printenps to supermarkets.

Anyway, this is what I found out about the Baby Roma. Four colors for this style for now: Nero, China Red, Dusty Rose and New Steel.

Big iron Bag is apparently very popular in Europe. Lots of colors available.

They have never seen the cervo version of the messenger I have in Barolo. Everyone in the boutique came and touched my bag [emoji28]

I was a good girl and only got one document case. Will post when I'm less jetlegged
 
It's Sunday at 7:51pm. I'm on the couch flanked by two sleeping dogs watching football and visiting tPF?

What time is it where you are and what are you up to?
:sleepy:

My little Hazel is coming up from Florida (the land of sweat and humidity) for Thanksgiving
I know she will need a coat
I picked up an adorable 2 in one coat today for her
It has a lighter jacket that you can wear inside the heavy parka
So if it isn't too cold she has a jacket and if it is very cold she can put the parka over it and be snug
Now I just need a hat and mittens for her
 
A friend asked me to help him pick out a paint color for a cabin. I was at Lowe's today looking, and I saw this brochure:

I wonder if Tomas knows that the color of this knot is now Organic Garden.......
Great idea! Finally our life can become a bit easier, if one paint manufacturer makes a catalogue with colour reference based on BV colours, that would be a great help!! :D

I agree! ......As long as they use the official BV names. Wouldn't a brochure on each color family with all the variations organized by year and color name be helpful? If it were updated yearly, that would be the icing on the cake. And, while we're at it, how about a trade-in program. I mean, some of these upcoming bags cost more than my first car. A bag could be turned in for credit on a new bag and then BV could recycle those bags to their own version of eBay.....bVay.
For the record, no....I have not been drinking! :no: :yes: (Just a bit tired....and goofy)

You have a strong knowledge base in these things. Would Valspar feel free to purchase an item and use it for something like this or would they get approval from BV?

It can go either way. When I worked for that "little" high tech company on Infinite Loop, our PR department looked for product placement opportunities and was very strict about permissions. My current company loves product placement. We don't go after opportunities, but we are often approached by companies asking for permission.
