[Iffi]

Beautiful blue - is that Bleu du Nord?

Yes bleu du nord

Sorry you missed out J!m. I know it is in no way the same quality, but I use an at-a-glance refill for mine as I find it way more functional. I slide the covers into the agenda pockets and don’t use the metal hook. Maybe that would tide you over until you can find an H one. I know Staples and other like stores are doing delivery. Don’t you love your Vision cover? It’s one of my favorite small pieces.

Thanks for your kindness DrTr, I considered doing that as well... It's not like I don't have any agenda, I do have my LV PM... but as you said, the Hermes Vision Cover is so nice. I have it in the signature orange leather, with the orange page holder. The size of the Vision is more substantial without being big about it... plus the Hermes leather is so lovely and matches my Ulysses GM Notebook Cover that's in orange leather as well. My very favorite leather small piece.

I know you have your LV, and I like LV pieces too, they make so many cute little pochettes and key holders and other pieces. I find them kind of like pringles - I can’t stop at just one but like you my Vision and my anemone Ulysse notebook are my favorites too! I’m also a fan of calvis for biz cards and even as a small wallet in a small bag. Let us know what you decide! It would be easier to know if we had any idea how long all of this will go on. But I do have to say having all my H pieces around is somehow helping during the shelter in place, as is all the support and humor and photos here. Glad you chimed in!! Plus I don’t know about you, but I have always been a total “school supplies” freak! Every year in the late summer buying notebooks and pens and pencils and paper and bags etc was just so much fun! Now that I’m a grown up my school supplies have a way bigger budget

diane278, can we have a close up shot of your beautiful B?? Thank you!!

I cleaned the silver when it arrived (an old habit from dealing with riding tack) but now I’m going to let it tarnish a bit to achieve the patina I love.

My precious “Winston” is sheltering in place with my Hermes silks.
Sleeping peacefully near my YELLOW silk drawer.
...Winston was due for a lion cut shortly after the stay at home went into effect so
I am sitting here toying with the idea of cutting him myself. I know I would regret that decision but
he weather is so warm and he has so much hair!

Very cute. I love this picture.

This is such a gorgeous bag, it looks well loved, lived in, and adorned with beautiful silver. I love the Docride did this bag, and I love she rides with her Barenia HACs and Birkins! Now that’s the way to use our gorgeous bags. They are so well made and long lasting if that’s what we love why not!! Thanks for sharing a close up!!

Good for you - I had to laugh at your quotes! And I love your Pico!

You look fabulous! And the titles are so appropriate and funny right now. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you!! I needed the encouragement today.

I’ve also made a mental note to stay out of certain doomsday threads - I’d much rather wallow in blissful ignorance of worst case projections of dubious origin.

More H-wearing Cats and Dogs of TPF please!!

Poor Winston. I say go for it - you can always call it avant garde. And it’s hair/fur. It will grow back by the time we are all let out.
+1 on seeing other colour themed drawers - pink, blue, purple, green, orange, red. It doesn’t even have to be in that order.

Yes they do DrTr, There is nothing like Hermes ! I was in the flagship store and fell in love with the Horse Saddle... I don't even own a horse or go horseback riding. lol... Then the next day, I was in Marshalls/HomeGoods, and they had a lifesize resin white horse in the middle of the store for sale, and I laughed so hard because the universe was either playing a joke on me or there is something I was suppose to learn from this experience. I would have love the look of the big white horse with Hermes Orange Saddle in the middle of my living room or bedroom. Having my H pieces does make me smile always, and especially during these times... that is why I decided to go for the H agenda filler and extra H notebook paper. I wanted to photo and post my H agenda, but I said that I can't do that without the proper fillers... lol. I have an 11 year old, and I start early and often for the School Supplies, I try to avoid the rush, but still find myself going crazy during crunch time. This is a fun chat

This sheltering in place and all-around horrible covid situation is getting to me - I got pretty impatient and short with my cat this morning. I already apologized to her, and given extra kisses, hugs, brushings and helpings of her favorite wet food.

So I pay another tribute to my best furry girl.

Animals know how we’re feeling....her eyes say, “Mommy, it’s ok. I know you’re stressed right now....”

Awww, sweet baby girl. I don't know what I'd do without our fur babies, especially during these times. Although, I'm sure they'll all wondering why in the world we're home all the time now and when we'll stop driving them crazy.

So true! They may not comprehend our extensive vocabulary but they pick up on emotional intent. I’m so content when I see her content at home with no worries. I never want her to know what’s happening outside. Maybe it’s my way of spinning a fantasy alterverse. Okay, I gotta get out of this funk!

The situation got to me yesterday......and I started talking to my bags....also to my toaster, but that was actually a rant. To prove my pettiness, I threatened my washer for taking too long to complete a cycle....as though I had somewhere to go. Ha!
Maybe all the members here, including pets & bags should have a voice in all this.
“I’m not just a clutch....I’m a clutch channeling my inner Georgia O’Keeffe.”

All suggestions are welcome. A little refresh never hurt anyone....
(except maybe that Toni Home Perm my mother gave me in middle school.....that was brutal! All photos were destroyed decades ago.)
