You will know who to blame if you see mysterious new charges on your credit card.
HHii RRRosiiiiiiiiieee, while mmmmy (and your) mum's outttt
Sorry Rosie, but although Dini should be grounded (he lives up to his name 'Houdini') he's out, probably stalking some poor innocent little creature ATM. I will show him this totally wonderful picture of you when he gets home. Meanwhile I may need to reset my password as @Madam Bijoux may have a point!
Please tell your mom her Buffalo B is the epitome of casual chic
No Rosie is not that kind of devious. When she thinks I have not paid enough attention to her, she will go on my counters and randomly knock stuff off.Such a fun thread to read, etoupebirkin! Just a thought...perhaps Rosie deleted the online work order for the mosaics?!!She looks rather computer literate to me!
Thank you!Drawn in by the adventures of Rocket and Rosie!And love, love your photos!
Typing and taking pics!!!
Below are pictures of the warehouse when I picked up my sunflower mosaic. As you can see, it does not take a rocket scientist to infer that my original tiles were accidentally discarded. Think about as throwing out a brand new 35cm Ghillies Birkin!!!
By the way this is what the mosaic looks in reverse as the backing side is facing up in this picture.
You should contact her. She is very lovely to work with. I've bought a couple of bags from her.
This picture is hilarious! Everyone truly is online these days.
The sunflower mosaic is stunning. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly with its installation.
My Rosie has been studying the history of her international relations and brushing up on her Hermes knowledge so she can keep up with these smart cats. Looking forward to more EB when you have time to take their dictation 
Meanwhile Chez EB the workmen are back — and the brought some funky looking gizmos (tile saw and other tile setting equipment) The tile saw screeches to life and it’s unnervingly loud.
Rocket: "Last one down to the bat cave gets sawed in half!!!" As he makes for the stairway.
Rosie: She’s by the computer mooning over Dini and is going to need to H U S T L E!!! to give Rocket a run for his money. She looks up, “No fair! You’re cheating!!! Grabs the cattop and goes pell mell down the staircase!!!
It’s a photo finish at Casa Félina and they both tumble into the peaceful sanctuary.
Lily: "We really to need to work on your entrances. You are cats of exceptional breeding. And. You. Need. To. Show. It. — At all times."
Rocket: Meanders to the couch and plops down. “Hey!!!, there’s only one bag of treats?!!!”
Lily: “You had way too many yesterday. It affected your thinking. I heard the crashes and curse words (en Española). Today, the workmen have electrical saws for goodness sake. Do you really want to go up against that?!!!”
Rocket: Knits his eyebrows, looks down and slightly sullenly says, I guess not. “But I LOVE those treats!!!
Lily: “You need to pace yourself and have patience. Which reminds me. Patience = success, especially with Hermes.” She pauses to take a sip of tea from an exquisite Hermes tea cup and delicately clears her throat. “Time to continue with your education. I’m in a silky mood today!!! Maman has such an exquisite collection of silk.” She reaches into the drawers, looks intently and takes a few out to show Rosie and Rocket.
“You know Rocket, all Maman’s boys had exquisite taste in scarves. And I want you to please pay attention, so please stop watching that last Caps-Penguins game. You are just torturing yourself.”
Rosie is already perched by the scarves and studying them.
Lily: "Here is such an exquisite piece of art. Hermes scarves often can often be categorized by type or look — Annie Faivre patterns have a particular look, Kermit Oliver, too. But I have never seen anything really like this." (90 cm Premieres Mains)
"And Chasse en Inde — such a classic pattern. Though the colors are similar the overall look of each is so different. And look at the detail at that edge. I've been nudging Maman" to wear both scarves together a la Mai Tai. "Now there is a woman of such style and grace."

Your Rosie is just adorable!!!
Glad you like the pic. I am keeping my fingers crossed on the mosaic, too.
Thank you [emoji173]️ I will and I definitely need one of those Spa kits too [emoji3]
Lily walks back to the scarf chest, gently goes through the silks and says here are some scarves that many consider to be grails. I insisted she get these.
- Rei Kawakubo Collaboration / 90cm Thalassa (ordered from London)
- Mythiques Phoenix / 90cm (a lucky find in Bergdorfs, NYC)
- La Femme Aux Semmelles de Vent (This is one of Maman’s favorite patterns)
- Grand Fonds (so pretty on a dreary day)
- Offrandes du Jour (one of the great scarf patterns of all time)
- Sur Up Tapis Volant (IMO the only way to get around)
- Tohu Bohu (with an Hermes RTW sweater in the same pattern/colorway)
- Tourbillon (an eBay find from Japan — so elegant with Maman's étoupe birkin)
Rocket: "You look like Mommy’s shooz!!! (Fendi Monster driving mocassins)!!! Take a look at Mommy’s new avatar!!!"
Rosie: "At least I don’t look like this?!!! (Jabba the Hutt)!!! “Your just jealous that Maman changed her avatar picture from of you to one of ME!!!” (She licks her paw and preens with a small air of triumph.)
Lily: "This bickering MUST. STOP. NOW!!! It is finis. Done. Capeesh?!!! Or how would you both like to spend your days upstairs with the workmen. Hmm???" (Arches her eyebrows and casts a stern look at the two chastened cats.

Lily: Let’s talk about Hermes bags AND scarves — a match made in “H”eaven! Matching bags and scarves is one of my favorite things to do. She goes to the cases and plucks out bags and scarves. She sighs, “This is so incredibly chic. Maman must wear this next week.”
“Or, perhaps one of these two.”
Rocket pipes up, “I like what Mommy wore last week.” The Plume’s big enough so that it can hold extra cat treats or perhaps a can of tuna for me, yummmm!!!!!” He’s got cat treats on the brain because Lily’s limiting him to one measly bag a day.
Rosie, “It’s August in DC, I prefer Maman to wear something cool. — This is like Lavender Ice.” She holds up a …
Rocket, “I like it better with this scarf (Fleurs D’Indiennes).”
Lily: “Excellent, Excellent!!!” You are getting the hang of it!!!” Here are some more ideas. Each scarf gives the bag a distinctive look.”
The cats hear the front door open and close. And it’s quiet.
- Vache Naturel 32CM HAC w/GHW and Sur Un Tapis Volant and Horsehair “Tassel
“Or, perhaps one of these two.”
- Etoupe Swift 35CM Birkin w/GHW and Tourbillion
- Natural Barenia 35CM Birkin w/PHW and Premieres Mains and Hermes vintage sterling silver horse key chain

The cats hear the front door open and close. And it’s quiet.
Rocket goes upstairs and… The workmen have put one of the tile mosaics in reverse (backing side in front). Rocket charges out the front door and tries to flag the workmen down. “Hey guys, you put the mosaic in BACKWARDS for leopard’s sake!!!” But the workmen are already in their truck and are driving way.
Rocket: “This is a CATastrophe!!!” “Mommy is just going to flip out when she sees this!!!” “I am going to have to take charge of this renovation! These guys are birdbrains and I am just the C A T to get this project back on track.”
