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 can understand how the fun can be easily taken away from it. Wanting to do something and having to do something is completely different!
 
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 always wondered if the really closed fakes were made by employees at the original factory. I suppose there is no way to really know.
 
Just wanted to share my stunning tearose charms from @LunaSilver! I LOVE THEM.

This kisslock bag is surprisingly useful and I can't wait to take it somewhere. One of my favorite things to do in the summer is dine on the patio of my favorite restaurant with my BOTD and my Nook. I go during off hours, usually 1pm to 4pm, and sit outside and read for hours. I like to go alone with my bag as my date. Last summer, my rust Pony was my last bag date of the season. This summer, my kisslock bag will be my first bag date of the season. It's a silly little thing to do but it's something I enjoy. I can't wait for nice weather again!!
What is that little bag on the left called??:loveeyes:

I enjoy going to a coffee shop on Main St. in a small town next to me, in the late morning on Saturday. I sit outside at their little table on a side street with my botd too.

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
And you passed along a lot of great info. I actually looked at something yesterday on Etsy for a plum blossom hole puncher! eta, whatever that is!

Isn't it nice to just go by yourself and enjoy your food/drink, people watch, read, bask in the fresh air...I love it. It's just so relaxing.

I doubt it with my two fakes. Neither has the correct hardware. One has indentations on the back of the turnlock and the other has solid brass on the buckle.

But I think some of this goes on with the super fakes. Since Coach doesn't use unique serial numbers, it would be impossible to tell one made after hours from the official bags if all the same materials were used.
 
I tell people that about traveling alone, but they never believe me.

I like travelling alone too. I can plan the day exactly how I want & just go do it. It’s fun travelling with other people as well, but Im able to do so much more when Im alone. My friends & family keep pressuring me to date because they say it’ll be better if I have a partner instead. They’re under the impression that young women travelling alone = automatic kidnapping. :annoyed:

eta: not that it even matters, pandemic killed my travel plans last year & for the foreseeable future lol

There was a lot I spent money on and came to regret, but my trips were kicked off that list when taking more got complicated. So glad I took them now! I stick with good hotels in good areas, which costs more, but it makes me feel safer. I also tried to limit going too far after dark which is problematic places where dinner is late, but I tend to graze while roaming around and aside from breakfast don’t do set meals when I travel.

Because we’re talking travel, how open are stores on Sundays in Canada? It always shocks me (and most Americans based on what I’ve overheard while abroad) that Europe is shuttered on Sundays. Here it’s all open except Chick-fil-a. When I was a kind things had limited hours on Sundays, but it gradually changed to being another Saturday lol.
