I’ve been doing the same, short drives just to pick up some take out.... don’t really need a bag, but I sure do love their company!

I have just spilled tea on my phone!!! Note to self: beware of Diane!!!!
Johnson’s Glass House my all-time favorite....though I “see” it sitting on a rocky cliff above a rolling, gray ocean!While it’s been great to get out a bit more this past week, the Covid numbers here are now increasing a bit, so I’m pulling back again. Yesterday afternoon, I began building one of my my dream houses. I’ve always loved minimalist houses. Luckily, LEGO offers one. Here’s my 2 1/4” tall Farnsworth House:
(With a losange box for perspective)

Don’t look too closely. I had some challenges getting all the tiles to fit.
View attachment 4749753 Today, I plan to use this as inspiration for clearing out “stuff”. Now, if LEGO would just offer Philip Johnson’s Glass House, I’d be set for life!
Thanks, Meowlett, for your enabling.
and @tlamdang08
I am laughing so hard....I “heard” @tlamdang’s original comment as a complete thought— in Texas, the “Pick Up” is the thing, as in pick-up truck. Going for a “pick-up ride” rarely involves actually picking up anything, focussing on the ride, waving at people, etc. yep, we do that.
Omg, your wonderful presentation had done a damage to my wallet.
I spent an afternoon in bed watching the YouTube Chanel “luxury travel good”. I missed my vacations, all the breakfast buffets, amazing view from the pools....
And then when I went to Costco to pick up a pizza for dinner, I passed by the jewelry case and I saw this ring. It wasn’t a brand name though, but the price was right. I decided to pick up this ring to make up for the vacations that had to put on hold until who knows when.... maybe next year...
Now due to the pandemic they don’t allow me to try on Jewellery. I had to buy it and if it’s not right for me I can exchange it later. It’s a new policy on Jewelry. But thanks God it fit me due to all the weight that I had put on during the last three month.
One picture started the day and ended up with a ring. Thank you so much for sharing
And thank you everyone for letting me share too. Now I am back to shelter in place ...

I love it, I call this the bra style at first. They are look just like bra
You picture is very artistic. I love it!!
Can you share how much it can hold? Does it heavyweight? I love the look but have not seen it irl so if you don’t mind please share your thought. Thank you in advance

I really like the design too. I’ve also been wondering if it’s heavy. It looks to me like it might be heavy, but looks can be deceiving..... @MaseratiMomma, do you find it heavy?

No problem!
The 24/24 holds quite a bit, for comparison think of the Birkin 30. I use my Céline large trio crossbody as SLGs, all three Céline pouches fit well inside my B30. But the opening of the 24/24 only allows two of the pouches to fit comfortably. If I need to, I put the third pouch in empty and then fill it once it is inside.
I have the 29 size so thankfully it has a shoulder strap that I usually wear with it, I don’t notice any heaviness... about the same as my B30.
If you are going to reach inside quite often, it is easier to leave the flap open & then close it when you are done shopping. If I think I won’t use my shoulder strap, I keep it in my dust bag, in case lunch with a friend turns into shopping, I have it with me.
I love this bag and sometimes feel weird that I reach for it as much as my Birkin (I thought my Birkin would be my absolute favorite of all time and the only bag I ever use), it works so well for casual and under the radar Hermès style.
Bonus.... I am extremely happy with the back pocket for my phone! I use the inside pocket for my pen, valet stubs or parking tickets that need validation, and receipts for all of my shopping purchases.
I hope this helps! But please don’t go buying them all, I would like a few in other colors
The Glass House is my favorite, too. Unfortunately, LEGO doesn’t make a model. I’ve often looked at photos and wondered if I could reduce my belongings enough to live in a house like that. The motivation would be really high. I know it was originally intended to be a weekend house, and I’ve pictured myself living in it. It would be spectacular overlooking the ocean as you picture it.

There’s something about the 24/24 that‘s attracted me since the first photo I saw of it. I don’t need any more bags. If you’d said it was heavy, I could forget about it. But now, after reading all it’s good qualities, I think I might want one......
lovely ring .... and such a sign of the times: cancel exotic vacay, go to Costco.Omg, your wonderful presentation had done a damage to my wallet.
