[JOODLZ]

All I can say is WOW to a bunch of posts on the last pages of the previous thread!!! (I wasn't sure how comments would flow, so I saved a short list for here)

Deborah105 - show us your tchochkes (sp?)...many (most) of us love stuff like that...I sure do!
LisaK026 - stunning Tiffany Christmas ornaments...I'm a sucker for anything sterling!
Raven - OOOHHH...the bags and gorgeous turquoise/coral bracelet!
Magdalinka - beautiful bags...I don't think I've seen either label IRL here
Ladyash - I'm with Laz...find some vintage fox and get warm!

Sorry if I left anyone out...EVERYONE shops so good and finds fabulous stuff.

Still tryin' to figure out my top 5...tooooo much good stuff this year.

In response to those who wanted to see a "family portrait" of my Coach collection...I decided (based on the effort...and lack of space...it would take to stage such a production) to make a Happy Holiday graphic instead. In no particular order other than file names, the ones with round outlines are pre-1994 bags, when Coach (Leatherware) used unique-to-each-bag registration numbers, rather than modern style numbers...or simply a Coach lozenge (or imprint) like the one at the very top (same as in my sig). It's my oldest and HG bag...mid to late 70's. I started collecting in 2002 and have paid as little as $1 up to $50 (it's a BIG briefcase)...and 2 were gifts from my sister who shops garage sales for under $.25 each.

Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas to all...I hope everyone's celebrations are wonderful!

...and just after I finished the family tree, I did a 3-Goodwill store blitz and bought more...yeah, it's looking a lot like hoarding, isn't it? At least I'm not shopping at the FP stores, right? Though none of these were super-cheapo's, they're all special to me:
1998 Willis bag in great condition - $29.99 minus $5 off phone coupon = $24.99
1997 Abbie bag also in great condition considering the color - $16.99
2004 Hamptons Signature Soft Stripe Demi WITH a picture frame key fob - $19.99
2004-ish Coach wristlet - $4.99 (got home and realized I already have one of these!)
Coach dustbag - $3.99
(I used a $5 off coupon for these 4...to lazy to calculate prices!)
and a 1995 Kit bag - $14.99

Driving to Naples for Christmas with family and planning to thrift my way back home. Really excited as it's a more affluent are than where I live...my Google map is printed out and ready to go!

You make me want to get out my Willis bag (2001 I think??) and use it. That 1995 Kit bag looks like it needs me!
