Squirrel Support

[Ludmilla]

A very happy welcome to all the new squirrels on our Mulberry tree. The more the merrier. I am very sorry that I am so late in replying. Being busy at the moment and I wanted to read all your lovely posts and look at all your nice nuts in a quiet minute. [emoji3]

I can happily report that there are no new Mulb nuts in my wardrobe (we will not talk about other nuts, though). Unfortunately being ill and being busy caused a huge delay in getting some shoes ready to get sold. Hope to change this next year.


For now - happy Christmas season to all squirrels! [emoji8][emoji8]

Hello to everybody, I am a squirrel who lives near the coast of the Baltic sea, and people and squirrels here are said to be a bit slow,that's why it took me so long to find this wonderful thread with beautiful pictures and consoling replys concerning the collection of nuts. I have lead a calm (see pictures of me sitting in my garden or on the terrace) life until in April this year I was travelling to London and bought a stunning Lily in glossy goat at Heathrow, the most expensive bag I have ever bought at that moment. I watched and read internet forums, saw this wonderful forum and got addicted. The bays in oak followed, the small double zip tote - and I was a bit afraid of losing control. One month stop, then I saw a preloved roxanne in a secondhand shop, then the Mulberry summer sale came,,, and so on. Now I am the happy owner of 14 Mulberry bags and I love each of them. I use my sbs in black and oak very often now, love the regular bays in oak but do not use it so often because it raining so much here . I use the preloved bays in black darwin more often, it seems to be indestructable. I have bought a preloved Mulberry Luella Gisele which I only used once, it is not so practical, but I love it as iti is unique and the thick harness leather is fantastic.
My DH was a bit worried, but after I explained to him why I love the Mulberry bags so much, it was him who gave me the sbs oak for our 10th wedding anniversery.
I would not sell one single of my mulberry bags, I sold other cheaper bags, because I have made the experience that carrying a really good and pretty bag can save a whole day. For dirty floors in bars or similar occasions I use cheaper bags, but I use a Mulberry bag nearly every day. The green Roxanne has a pause, I'll use her again in spring.

It was so consoling reading about other squirrels, thanks! There are still some Mulbs on my wishlist - a blue sdr and a lily in oak for example, but as I do not like the newer Mulbs, I am a bit calmer now that I am not completely gone mad. Thanks Ludmilla for this great thread!

Awww. Thank you for all your kind words. [emoji4][emoji4] Just wanted to start a little fun thread....

For dear Ludmilla, Louliu, Mayfly, MiniMabel, Kendie, Betty Kay, Pessie and Vinnie and all my darling fellow squirrels, here is my humble cache of nuts: I mean my babies! (my first pics, so please bear with me....) the last pic is a very special lassie

Oh, Mulberry Mermaid, now I understand your name! What a beautiful sea of Mulberry bags, love the Roxannes, especially the green bags and the dark red one...and the classic black. And I admire also the exquisite collection of the other bays, really extraordinary and well constructed bags, so beautiful. What's the name of the bag in the last picture? Love it! Enjoy your stunning collection and carry your bags in good health!

And I also have a confession to make. Although I promised myself not to buy more Mulberry bags this year, I couldn't resist this tasty nut that was for some time on my wishlist...It was 10 % off, for my excuse! I am very happy with this early Christmas present to myself!

Thank you, Sweet Betty Kay for your incredibly kind words
my little lassies are blushing, they are so pleased to be appreciated!
Last bag is a Chocolate Fitzrovia, purchased from a special lady! She is utterly sophisticated at all times of the day and night, and makes me "up my game," as they say here. She will not deign to be carried unless one has at least made an effort

Your new nut is smashing! So elegant--is it Deer? I am in awe. She looks ready for tea at the Dorchester. (is that still a good place? it's been awhile since I did that!) if not, cocktails at the Savoy for sure. I saw a deep red leopard Lily online today and she's up for it--but I was good and didn't do anything more than speak sweetly to her

Thank you for sharing your new gorgeous girlie xoxo

Thank you very much, dear mermaid! The Lily is the classic oak, she looks a bit more light than irl because she has caught the one and only sun ray here the last week from the window - a good sign! I hope it will stop to rain the following week, then I will take her out for dinner!

What an utterly stunning collection, dear MM! [emoji7] I completely lost myself, swooning over your gorgeous classics: so many bags we rarely see these days! I love your collection of Roxanne girls; do you find them very heavy? Then I was exclaiming over your Knightsbridge, Fitzrovia, Elgin, Brooke(?), Annie etc etc until I came to your adorable Lily! What a truly classic cache of amazing styles and leathers! [emoji7] How/where do you store all your delicious nuts?! [emoji270][emoji883]

OOO-MMM-GGG girlfriend!!!! Holy AmazeBalls! THAT is some collection I can just see them all lined up in your "pursery!" Thanks for sharing some fabulous pics of your stunning family....& for that special last pic...hello to ms Fitz!!

Oh, gorgeous Oak! She is stunningly lovely and of course caught that single golden ray of sunlight! What a stunner, classically elegant....Audrey Hepburn would nod her head in approval, I think. Yes, take her out by all means and enjoy the look, feel and fragrance of her. And just in case, bring a folded up plastic bag inside, for rain emergencies as we don't want any rainspots on that unmarred beauty! (if she does get some, not to worry, there's great advice aplenty here about how to remedy the odd rainspot--even a downpour!)
Congratulations on your amazing Oak Lily! Enjoy her in health and happiness
I am toasting her right now with a glass of Mourvedre, so here's to you Betty Kay

Oh, Mayfly you are too sweet! Thank you, my dearest for your kind words. It did amaze me somewhat when I trundled up and down the stairs several times and finally debagged all these babies and found the long velvet sofa would fail to accommodate them all! So the Roxys had the sofa to themselves, and barely permitted the two Rosemarys in the shot.

The answer to your Roxanne query would be yes. She's substantial, but it's not the weight of her, even the Darwin and AG weight, as I am either in the mood to wear her and throw her over my shoulder (not in this season of winter coats, though, she won't quite sit there happily) or on my arm. Or rarely, I'll use her with a longer strap. No, it isn't the weightiness of her--it's, well, shhhhhh............hush.........(I'm whispering here, so that none of the Roxys overhears and start to get balchy or start an uprising.) The truth is, it's the strappiness of her! The positive stroppy strappiness of her that sometimes defeats me and I find myself reaching for a shoulder or cross body in her stead. One needs to be in the mood for the straps and buckles and all that lovely sonorous jazz. Fun in a restaurant or place where she has room to move, but less so in a queue at the supermarket or when one is in a positive rush.

The nuts are stored in an antique French armoire that used to belong to my mother. They occupy the length and breadth of that substantial piece. I've coined it, as Kendie knows, "The Pursery."

I'd love to know where other Squirrels store their delicious nuts!

You are too much! Your strutting, dancing and lovey dovey emoticons made me laugh!
Thank you so very much, darling Kendie, you sweetest girl-- for your compliments, they meant so much
I'm sure your very own Pursery is at least as choc a bloc with Beauties!

Ms. Fitzie is in no uncertain terms displeased with seeing her image on the inter webs. I assured her it was an honor to appear solo here and that mollified her somewhat. We are not amused, was the gist of it.

You are so sweet, thank you so much for your lovely comments, MM! Hope you enjoyed the Mourvèdre, a good southern wine suits nicely to ray-of-sunlight Lily, she was very pleased! And I already treated
her with colonnil gel and will spray her with the water stop spray before taking her out, but a small plastic bag is also a very good idea! Unfortunately I somehow don't manage to insert emojis myself, I love the funny 3-D- emojis here!! Thanks a lot, and have a wonderful day!
