“The kid’s going to have fun. For one thing, he’s spending the day with me. Apart from you and my cousin, I’m his favorite Mandalorian. Our arrival back should coincide with your return. Knowing Blue, he’s bound to squeeze in a quasi-side mission to a side mission. He’s handling another matter? So, just the two of you? I’ll requisition for the sani-droids again. It’s a joke. No, it’s not.”

“Hello? Well, your dad was amused. My cousin - not so much. I know what will amuse you. Let’s go.”

What a great chapter…..and, of course, any story with a horse in it is perfection!

Hi,
Yeaaahhh, you had fun on 7/4 .. :wave:
.. my 0.02 cents, SELL if your love for the mini Lindy is diminishing as your daughter will/should be in a position to buy her own bags in the future. :smile:
I’m not sure what I’d do in your position. If you have another bag that absolutely fills the function of the ML, and you don’t expect your daughter to warm up to the shape, then rehome it. On the other hand, you’ve only had the Danse for under a week…what if you want to change back to the ML a few months down the line after you’ve rehomed the ML? It’s still not that easy of a bag to get at the boutique.
I definitely have changed my ideas on what bags / clothes I like from when I was a little girl! A lot! Sometimes back and forth lol. I think entirely possible that your DD will like the bag shape in the future so I wouldn’t be in a hurry to rehome it unless you need to. ITA that she will and should be able to get her own bags, so you don’t need to keep it, but at the same time a bag passed down to her from you will probably hold some additional value from a sentiment point of view because it is a bag from her dear mom :smile:

In summary if it were me I would keep it for now unless there is a need to rehome it. Good luck deciding!
Thank you, Ladies, I am in no hurry to rehome the Mini, it is just a thought in my mind. I know my daughter will take a long time to warm-up to Lindy’s shape. :nuts:
But from your advice, I would keep the Mini to the end of the year to see how much I will use it and then decide again.
Thank you so much :love::hbeat:
 
Yésterday was gone smoothly, not too many actions though. I spent most of my time watching happy ending movies. Slept for 6 hours straight and got up early to meet up with my bike group.
Made him a cup of coffee with complete circle and mine with a broken heart :nuts: :facepalm:
have brunch on the beach with my group.
Now I am thinking should I rehome my mini Lindy or keep it for my daughter to change her mind someday? ( she doesn’t fond with the mini Lindy’s shape )
For now, I think I will use my danse more than mini Lindy. I am Kelly’s fans.
What do you think? Keep or lets it go? I use to ask my beloved husband these kinds of questions and he always answer “ first world problem”. :nuts:help me :yes::facepalm::loveeyes::hugs::love:

It‘s obviously a personal choice but your Lindy in that bright and happy red is so wonderful. I’d keep it for myself but certainly for your daughter (what a lucky daughter)
 
I’m meeting with a closet installer tomorrow. My current closet is only about 10 feet long. I had California Closets rework it 20 years ago. My other two bedroom closets are pretty basic. I will have only two bedrooms in my retirement condo, so I plan to have both of them done along with the hall closet. None are large. Actually, they’re all small. I think I’m at 13 or 14 bags. right now, I can’t even imagine buying more but that could change. right now, I think my bags consume approximately 20-25% of my closet.
Here are my bags bagged up (except for the noir octogone):

Im thinking about staying with a similar set up, as it’s worked for me before. (I’m hoping the closet is outfitted before I move in) Please tell me if I’m wrong…..

Since I have been WFH during covid, I started curating my H bags and rehomed 2 bags - pico 22 and Halzan 31 - because i didn't use them often. Also, I bought a pico 18 :P. Hence, my thinking is if you don't reach for the mini Lindy enough, sell it. You seem to have quite a few red H bags too ;)

Do you want to consider installing a grid like drawer so you can store and see your scarf individually? I don't use scarves but I will install that to store my bracelets so I can see each one of them without having to open the boxes.

I’m not sure. I never thought about scarves. I think I only have 7 or 8 but I hardly wear them. (I doubt I’ll ever buy more.) Do you think a drawer like that would work with calvi’s? I seem to like them a lot….

Why not? The idea was inspired by a drawer of tea bags organised by flavours in one of the hotels :flowers:

I had my master closet installed back last fall, while I didn't use California, it was a similar company. I personally went w/ another company because California would not let me do adjustable shelving. They fill in the holes which was odd to me, and the company I went with made it a lot easier process to order things like additional shoe shelves, etc.

They can custom size the grid-type drawers if you just show them the sizing of what you'd like to put in them. I have two that are mixed for my scarves & they also allotted some space on the sides to be able to accommodate 140 size shawls, etc.

My personal favorite additions to my closet, while small, but make me super happy - is the valet rods that can pull out, makes it really easy to pull out outfits and plan, or to pull clothes together for packing/travel. They also did pull outs for me where I can store belts, they will hang upright and again, makes it really easy.

For my bags specifically, I like to "display" them and see them when I get into my closet so I have a lot of cubby hole type space meant for that, but they are fully adjustable so I can accommodate or shift depending on what I want to display. Or if I decided, I could place more foldable clothing (e.g. cardigans) there as well.

PS - its so much easier to get the closet installed BEFORE moving in / unpacking if possible. I lived in a few suitcases/boxes for a couple of weeks but I found that to be a better alternative than unpacking just to move things and then having to move it all back.
