Long time lurker, first post. Go easy on me fam!
It's been exactly 1 month since my fiance and I started working remote, social distancing, staying home.
I am glad I am not the only one cleaning and finding some oldie but a goodie.
My fiance suggested that I take a "color wheel" photo of my bags.
Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!View attachment 4701941 View attachment 4701940
Beautiful collection!
 
I am going on record and declaring that my Magic 8 Ball is totally useless in predicting the future. I placed him on an H tray hours ago in hope that he would absorb a bit of it’s French vibe, but the effort was to no avail. I inquire about future events and I get replies such as, “consult me later” and “don’t bet on it”. I have to admit that when I asked if I should wear a H scarf, it’s response was “absolutely”. That was helpful. Still, all in all, this isn’t what I was hoping for in guiding me to plan for future events.....

Please name all of the frivolous H objects in this picture. I actually got reprimanded by DH for acquiring one of the objects.
First of all, none of them are frivolous!
1. The giant leather piece is a die....for Dungeons & Dragons (I think)....but definitely for some game and/or for someone with huge hands. I don’t know the official name.
2. I recognize the cups but don’t know the name of the pattern.
3. The heart is also Hermes, but again, I don’t know the name.....
Can I have partial credits for my half answers....if they’re right?
 
I'm out in Queens and we are clapping here as well!


Yes! It's so great. Are you in NYC? Is yours?

Yes, I’m on the upper east and each day more are joining in. It goes on for longer than the two minutes!

Absolutely OUTSTANDING!!!!

I'm in Beekmanhill (midtown east) and its getting louder every evening.

Another NYer here!
 
Awesome Picotin. May I ask how do the handles feel in your palm? Are they hard to hold/touch than the regular Picotin? TIA.
They are a bit stiff because it’s epsom, plus the extra bulk from tressage.

It’s not uncomfortable, but a softer leather like Clemence or Togo would feel more luxurious, I think.

I love the colour - so vibrant and cheerful. It goes with a lot of my spring and summer outfits. But I still don’t like Epsom and will try not to get any other bag in that leather.

Diane, you won a session with me to dress like my cocker spaniels. ;)
Did he say: “you paid how much for a piece of wood??” :biggrin:
Pretty much. He had no problem to accept many of my other gifts, including the giant all leather D20 that was about four times the price of this object. At least, you can put dice in this one. The giant D20 was completely just for show.

And here is our D20.
