Ok fellow escale lovers!!! I appear to have secured the pastel NF this morning!!! It shows as order in preparation, the magical phrase right before shipped!! I hit refresh at the end of a phone call I was on and proceed was lit up!!

Everything went fine until I got a “cc problem, call us”. Called LV, it was my bank that often does a fraud verification step only on LV for some reason. So called my bank, verified I had made the purchase, they cleared it, and then back to LV.
Found the most wonderful lovely and helpful CS woman, she helped me get the order through, and voila! I should have early next week. Now I will be stalking UPS once I get the tracking #. Afterwards I was able to go to the stalking thread, and sure enough Miss BooYah had said it was ATB, and I think I had already snatched it! Glad it had been sitting in my shopping cart for two days. I got all the way through checkout yesterday until right before proceed to payment then it stopped. So, I shall eagerly await order in preparation to flip to shipped. I know it will sit in that status until tonight when UPS picks up. Fingers crossed for the same quality as miss toujours*chic’s lovely!!
May it rain escale today, and everyone gets what they wish. Thanks for all the help and support! It’s so nice to focus on this for awhile as a much needed break
