Hey all,
Went to the sale this morning and selection was amazing! Line was loooong but the wait wasn't actually that long! Tables were tough to get to and find scarves as volunteers frantically tried to refold the piles on the tables! Waiting for others to drop scarves that they didn't want was the best strategy for me!!
I was able to get 5 scarves (will try to post them later this week) for my girlfriend, but upon initial review by her friend, I think one might not cut the mustard (Les Petits Metiers de Paris) - same as dogbiskit but in blue.
So if there is anyone that was at the sale who isn't as in love with what they bought and would like to swap or who couldn't make the sale and loves Les Petits Metiers de Paris, please PM me!
** Who thought that after buying a scarf for my girlfriend's birthday just a few months ago that I'd have bought six (!) scarves a few months later and would actually be able to recognize the names of some scarves!

Unfortunately, tPF rules state "Public selling/buying/trading is not permitted". Sorry.
Oooops! Sorry, sorry, sorry! Rookie mistake!

I got the Indian Dust print scarf in Hermes Orange and a tie for my boss. Not a bad deal but I went at the end of the day again and this year they were cleaned out! I can't believe it. I guess I was lucky 2 years ago when I went the first time.
One of the best sales yet I would ... AMEX is likely to agree with me based on my bill
I couldn't believe the line up - in previous years I normally get there around 7ish and am one of the first. This year we were there for 7am and just barely go in on the first round. By 8am the line up was incredibly long.
Clearly no recession in Toronto these days!
I was only planning on getting small leather goods and a tie for DH but of course one look at scarfs and that was it - I got 2 lovely mousselines - one GM in bright pinks and another 90 in beige and cream. I also got a bit carried away at got my favourite design in an outrageously loud colourway of fushias and pinks - astrologie (s[?).
I was also thrilled I got what I came for in the small leather goods departmen - 2 PM Karos (the only two they got according to Kimberly) in Brighton Blue and Violet, 2 Ulyssee note books a PM and MM - one in vert olive and one in vert anis. I also lucked out and found a prune (I think) carmelita which is perfect for my small ulyssee.
All in all it was a great haul and I figured seeing as it was the day before my b/d I was OK.
... oops the Birkin fund just shrank!

Here are what I got from the sale~
I got there around 2:30pm,
and only saw two bearn medium wallets left~
I took one of them..
Sales said that all the long wallets are gone in the morning..
However,fortunately,
I found one bearn wallet with lizard later on
It's fantastic~
I love the smell and its softness~
some pics of my goodies:
I must say the goods in there are fantastic and outstanding~
I should get more ties and at least one 90x90 scarf~
and lots more small leather items...so regret~~
Love Hermes and definitely will go again in the future!!
