Good grief! I hope you are all stocked up on food? So you can stay home and stay warm? So magical to watch the snow fall….would love to see pix :smile:
Ok so only a couple inches but we have a monster coming in tonight. Somewhere between 20-30 cm predicted. That’s a lot for the west coast. I think I’ll just park the car for the next day or two!

Thats too funny. Same wavelength we are on :hugs: I ordered the white book yesterday on ebay, and bought the brown one on poshmark. There are a few brown ones on ebay, i will link them below, since someone snagged the one in your amazon cart. Keep looking tho if these do not appeal to you. Both books i ordered are new and still in plastic wrap, and the sellers accepted my offers on both. So new ones pop up on these sites, for reasonable amounts….I am very excited to get them….hope u can add both to your collection as well :smile:







Thank you sooo much! :smile:

Hi everyone! Wanted to share that I just purchased the BV black palmellato “belt bag” from fashionphile. I was looking for a sleek but casual black bag, and I really like the hardware and low key look of this style. I won’t be using it as a belt bag but rather a crossbody style, as seen in the video below. I believe DL based it on this bag? https://www.tradesy.com/i/bottega-v...585432-black-leather-cross-body-bag/30456227/

I also don’t carry much so the size is perfect for me. I tried the Gucci 1955- it is lovely but a bit bigger than what I was looking for plus this BV bag was a fraction of the price. Hoping it works for me!



I was also trying to grab this mini tote ($325!) but it sold out before I could get it: https://www.fashionphile.com/p/bottega-veneta-nappa-intrecciato-mini-shopper-tote-ebano-789000 I have been searching for one ever since @Euclase shared her lovely forest green version! The search continues :love:

(which isn’t really that hard to believe since I’m pretty sure she fits in the palm of my hand :lol: ), I’ll pass along a photo of my (6min) commute to work this morning. It was a balmy -13c and snowing lightly.

@V0N neglects to mention she can walk out her door and spend the day skiing (although golf and cocktails appear to be her game :lol: ). Here we were this morning when I went out to stock up the bird feeders...

Oh that Palmellato is really cute! Let us know how you like it. :yes:

I discovered the mini tote on Tradesy, but I went to the source (seller info at the bottom of the listing), eLady Globazone and bought it through them. It knocked like $300 (USD) off the price shown on Tradesy! They have all sorts of pretty TM-era bags from Japan, with styles that are relatively unusual in the US. Good luck with your search! :flowers:

You guys are made of tough stuff to live there :lol: Gorgeous pic!
 
WOW. This looks like a postcard. Beautiful! And did you do any skiing around the Hood today? :lol:
Aside from attending to my very hungry birds I've stayed in today. :lol: With the rain we're getting today on top of the low temperatures it's rapidly turning into a skating rink out there! Tomorrow we'll be trying to thaw out the cars enough to warm them up and get that frozen layer of snow off of them...thankfully I don't have to be anywhere for the next few days!

I slipped last week and fell hard on one knee so I'm still limping around. Really don't want to risk another fall, I have to get back to working out, I've slacked off enormously over the holidays.:gotmuscles:

Stay inside until that ice is gone! Except to feed the birdies :biggrin: Be careful, Don’t risk another fall….hope your knee starts feeling better soon :hugs:…… good to just stay home if you don’t have to be anywhere, until things thaw and melt a bit. Such a pretty view you have, a winter wonderland!

Thanks! The birds need a lot of help this winter, the weather extremes we've had in the past year have been really hard on them, poor babies.
