@mauihappyplace - thank you! I know, I almost didn't dare to post this. How can one turn down a B25(!) in Barenia (!!!). Hope "your 25" will find you soon.
@GoldFish8 - haha, you have one of my absolute faves in your current avatar picture. so I guess this evens the situation out?
@nymeria - thank you for your kind wishes. I know that this may sound absolute bonkers, but for me, these Bs are too expensive to "settle". And as much as the B25 was adorable, it just doesn't serve the same purpose as the bigger B30- at least not for me. At "my" boutique, they know that I have been waiting for a Barenia for quite some time, so I still have my hopes up that one day "my" bag will appear....
