“Sheltering in Place” with Hermès

[sf_newyorker]

Well, my most developed domestic skill set is laundry. True, there’s not much competition there, but I can do laundry like nobody’s business. And I love doing it. I’m serious about this. I even have a 6 level drying rack for sweaters. I’m self-taught. Do I have any laundry loving sisters out there?

I admit I’m overly compulsive about cleanliness and do laundry at least 3 times a week (I don’t have kids, just me!), but it ends there. I’m the person who pays no attention to water temperature or throwing light color clothing with darker ones. However, I do know how to separate outside clothing from inside clothing and sheets and towels.

Whew! That hurt for a minute....but I’m resilient and ok now. The frequency and inside/outside sorting make up for the mixing of lights & darks.

I understand. I’m going along one day at a time, some better than others.

I found this article from 2012 featuring the making of a Kelly bag and its impact as a statussymbol.
The mug is from Arabia, Finland, showing a scene of the Muminfamily. I call this ”Mumin goes Hermès” due to the colouring. At a certain point you start seeing THE orange colour in everything... I wonder what that says about my mental health status right now. We haven’t had a H store since january 2020 and are anxiously awaiting the opening of a new one in September. Regarding the current situation I fear for further delay... View attachment 4711073

I know what you mean regarding that H orange!
Thanks for showing how you use that vase ..with tulips!

ROFLOL....not to cause more pain to @Diane 278...it was only after I remarried that my then 9-yo DD learned to sort laundry from her step-father. As a single, working mom with little extra time, I’d learned those washers held ALOT, and with cold water, no fades!

I’m missing bright sunny happy days and times like us all! I brought out one my favorite H scarves of all time, Flamingo Party for a tiny silk party with a few bags. I know there’s an LV tote in here, but when I saw these gorgeous colorful pastel shades I had to have a tote in it! The canvas totes are so lightweight and so carefree. But if course the flamingo party looks best with miss K whom is peeking in at the right. I miss wearing my lovely silks and carrying a different bag every day!!!! So this helped a tiny bit. LOVING everyone’s posts!!!

Beautiful Flamingo Party , hope to add one to my collection down the line. We haven't stepped outside for 4 weeks but hope to take a short walk with DH over the weekend. I so miss wearing my silks. It's uplifting reading the posts and loving the photos. Stay safe everyone.

Thank you so much orchard! All of my bright spring scarves would be in rotation right now, I miss picking one for each day. One of my clients jokes she likes to see me for my latest SOTD

I hope you get your walk outside with DH - I walk my dog every morning for 15 minutes no matter what, and it helps. He doesn’t know what’s going on, he is just his sniffy doggie self, and I find that very comforting. It does help to get out, that’s my only trip though. I bet you both will feel better. What strange times these are, but this thread helps me as well! Hello everyone and thanks for all your clever creative posts

Beautiful collection! I like the pops of colour and the neutrals. What colour is your Garden Party?

The garden party is vert amande! Great neutral- looks grey in most light but under direct sunlight you definitely see the green undertones!

I have a small jade rice bowl that usually sits around looking pretty. But I decided that I should actually use it....at least once. So I made my favorite combination of forbidden ride and green peas. I took the bowl off it’s stand and ate my rice out of it. I think the uncertainty of the times we’re living in is influencing some of my decisions, including not using things out of fear of something happening to them.


It’s usual use: holding three stones

Thank you, it does look grey. I love Hermes’ chameleon colours. Thanks for sharing!
