Okay, I'm bored...layed them out on my bed and changed my avatar to this...

Beautiful bags, your gorgeous Constance caught my eye.

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.....

I got nothing. It’s month end, everything is shut down, and all I can do is plan ahead.

Thankfully I have lots of notebooks and agendas to keep me company.

Beautiful, what size is your notebook/agenda? is it filled with writing paper or printed with Hermes calender sheets? Sorry about my cluelessness, I have never seen the inside of one. Also I live in Perth, Western Australia, my closest Hermes is Melbourne, a five hour flight away!

Granted, I had trouble with the cocker ears as my hair is too short, but I think I’m off to a good start. Meowlett, with your help, I think I can get this dialed in in no time......

Thank you all for your likes! It is fun playing with Fornasetti - gives a little twist to a scary everyday life at the moment.

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.

Thank you for all details. I decided to pass it and wait for a pop up- Clemence then.

Thank you
The Kelly retourne comes with a story too which I posted in the Paris thread. I was initially offered a K32 blue encre Clemence ghw.
Below are the specs for the retourne I finally chose:
K28, abricot, evercolor, ghw.

Ah Ha!! NOW I remember that great story! I LOVE that bag ( and story)- I will go through the Paris thread now and find it so I can enjoy it all over again- Thanks!

PS-I know its not getting a ton of wear right now, but would you be able to comment on the diff between evercolor and swift in any way? Always interested ( in everything!).

I had a TGM in Raisin and ended up replacing it with an 18 - I still miss it!

Aha! I also had a TGM in Raisin that I replaced with 2 18s. I don't miss the big one though! (maybe the color)

I’ve been enjoying the beautiful silk scarves people have been sharing so I decided to “make” an H scarf of my own.
I managed to kill nearly an hour on this, due to failure in managing the available colors. It’s my first (and probably last) experience with Magna-Tiles (ages 3+)

I love it. And don't limit the concept to a scarf- expand those horizons. I think it looks like a great addition to the Homeware collection ( I see plates, change trays, etc in your future )

I can answer this!
This agenda pages are undated, the quality of the paper is beautiful. If you write hard like me, you have some minor bleed through. Each month is a different color. I used pencil last year for this book, then erased it to use the pages a second time. I would never do that again, nor recommend that, it was painfully time consuming. This year I’m using mine as a thought journal. I have a blank one for next year. In all honestly, I’m not sure this was the smartest use of funds. I did buy it initially as a planner, but I didn’t find it that user friendly because there are only 2 days per page. Hard to get a sense of your week that way. I have the small size and it’s a nice enough size. A little big to tote around daily if you have a smaller bag.

I had also purchased the watercolor paper which was amazing, but I sent it back because 60 dollars for a small book of watercolor paper doesn’t make sense, especially when the cover is leather and leather isn’t happy around water. But the paper was lovely.
