I wanted to ask that too! Except I'm not even in the same country.

My ex-bf used to make THE BEST stuffed hashbrowns! He would put hashbrowns, butter, grilled onion, a variety of peppers, diced ham, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, a seasoning called Good S**t (really!) and then when everything was cooked he would sprinkle grated cheese on top and let it all melt together. Oh. My Gosh. So good! The only thing I miss about him.
Sounds mouth watering delicious!
 
Sounds like my Willis. Compared even to other 0974-534 fakes we've seen, mine is very well-made, the leather is definitely Coach quality and is deliciously thick, soft and smooshy, and even the creed only has one spelling mistake, "scar" instead of "scars", (aside from the too-wide spacing of many words) compared to similar fakes we've seen that can have close to ten spelling and punctuation mistakes. The one thing I should have noticed before it was too late to return it was the too short zipper on the inside pocket. But I never carried it and didn't even look closely at it or even read the creed until I was updating my insurance list and then found another fake with the exact same serial number just a few days later.

We just looked at another style with the same fake number at the Authenticate thread and BB posted a photo of an identical messed up creed from yet another bag showing how bad the creed mistakes in those 0974-534 fakes can sometimes be, NINE mistakes in spelling and punctuation if I'm counting correctly.

So a reminder - always read the creeds before you buy!
Wow that many spelling mistakes! Lol

Wbinnles? HA HA HA HA!!! Is there a K in there?? Wbinkles? Does it really say that??
 
Thank you! I love now the bright colors pop on the charms. I can't wait until LunaSilver opens an Etsy shop. (Hint hint... :rolleyes: )
Thanks and maybe. Problem is I am a very lazy person, things interest me I will glue myself on them and ignore everything else ( except my pets , they get my attention all the time). Once pass that stage they will become chores. I absolutely hate chores.lol.
 
I have a small collection of full-grain fakes I use for reference. I actually find them really interesting- they have similarities to each other and are well made. Very different from the poor quality fake bags.
I really wonder about who made them. They are so similar in quality and design I wonder of they are grey market/former worker bags. They would not have been cheap to make.

I still have the couple of fakes I accidentally bought recently also. They are really good, and to be blunt, better than most current offerings from many medium price range designers. Full grain leather is valuable, no matter what brand name is on it. Such a shame to put so much effort into a fake.

Rehabbing got that way for me. I had to step back from it for a while, it wasn't fun anymore. I just bought a BT Beaumont that badly needs a spa day but I don't wanna do it.

I do something similar but don't take the time to grill the onions, they're just sauteed with the other meat(s) and bell peppers. The dry seasoning is my homemade version of Emeril's Essence. Then a nice drizzle of a mix of several hot sauces and some Thai sweet chili sauce right at the end. Hubby loves it!
 
Glad I'm not the only one! I'm afraid she's going to be done with me if I tell her that one more time lol!
We just have to wait patiently and continue to drop hints. The worst she can do is block us, right?


LunaSilver you really need to open an Etsy shop.....
Maybe I will start to build up inventory first, also practice making other type charms other than just tea roses. Also shoulder pads, replacement straps etc. Once get enough inventory I may actually open an Etsy shop. If things don't get sell there, at least I had fun making them..lol

Sauteed! That's what I meant to say but I had a brain fart.

I never thought to try Thai sweet chili sauce. That's sounds ahhh-mazing!

That was my attitude on my books. Write because I liked it, if they sold off Kindle, great, if not, oh well.

I LOVE that stuff! We use it just on its own on just about anything, or keep a squeezie bottle with it already mixed with Sriracha and whatever other hot sauce tickles our fancy at the moment. A dash or two of garlic powder mixed in doesn't hurt either.
