I have NOT rehabbed for so long that I have to learn everything all over. First I have to put the hardwares back on to a few bags that are done but I didn't put them back on from sheer lack of motivation.

I’ve been waiting for you to nudge/ heckle me to finish that Rambler!!! :lol:
I moved my sofa in mid-December and found a missing piece of hardware that I looked everywhere else for. I literally did a happy dance. I wanted to post on it and forgot.

LunaSilver might have posted pics during the repair process. I think I just posted pics of enjoying my unique bag! I really love it, I never expected to appreciate it so much.

I agree with you about pricing and rehabbing. I also have a mountain of bags to rehab so I have no business shopping right now. And the prices are so shocking in some cases, especially considering the condition of some of these bags. I have a short list of bags that I will purchase the next time I see them but other than that I'm committed to my bag ban. I hope we can enjoy our inventory of rehabbed bags this year!

Give or take a little, we all dove deep into vintage and rehab about the same time. Maybe we just needed a break.
I had a lot of surprises in 2022, right up to the end of the year, that really needed a lot of my focus. It was a great year personally in several ways, and a tough year as well. Physically and mentally, it was tiring! Working on my (mostly vintage) Coach hobby :smile: is very enjoyable and fun so I realized I need to keep my hands in it, even at a minimum moving forward.

I want one now! :facepalm:… is it heavy? Will those straps be sufficient enough to handle the weight? Please tell me the negatives so I can save my money! :yes: :lol: (Who am I kidding…)

I wouldn't put a lot of stuff in it and it isn't comfortable to carry for long but it's so much fun for quick outings or maybe a lunch date or something where it will be resting elsewhere as opposed to being carried. I *think* @MrsGAM once posted a photo of her small one next to a cocktail and I was hooked after that. It's a date bag. Even if you're just dating yourself, like me. It's going really well though, I think I might be The One, ha ha ha!!! :lol: :lol:

Oh my God... rambler? Yeah I need to see it again! Get on it pronto!

As for being physically and mentally tired.. I have been dealing with an auto immune disease since the end of summer and I am just tired of it. It made me lose all my motivation. It affects my skin and I'm like why should I even diet and exercise to lose weight if I can't even bare my skin. This coming summer should be lots of fun wearing long sleeves and full length pants and jeans so I don't freak people out in public.

This exactly. I just brought home a Revel 24 yesterday. :facepalm:

At least if you bought it new you can return it! That is usually not the case with my purchases!

Shall I make the astounding revelation that buying bags is fun, feels good, temporarily puts off dealing with some thing unpleasant ??? Feel free to insert your :eek:

I LOVE this bag! I love the detail and shape. Congrats on your casino win, I can't wait to see all the lovely bags you pick up! Your blue Courier left me speechless. And jealous.

Thanks! I'm having so much fun shopping. The win was for $12,500. Trying not to spend ALL of it on purses. :smile: Here's another recent purchase.

I'm so sorry you are suffering. I have a different auto immune disease and it often feels like there is no hope.

I can't believe I had to go out on my porch to get even the littlest bit of daylight for these photos. Anyone in SE PA, this month of cloudy darkness is really messing with my head.

In July I purchased this duffle during my 'I bought 8 bags and now I have to pay my school taxes' phase. This bag was one of them--a 9085 Duffle Sac in Taupe. I bought from the original owner (who could have been a member here, she took such good care of her bags). Taupe was only available for a limited time, so I've also posted a photo of Taupe next to Mahogany.

As your neighbor across the Delaware, I was thinking too just the other day, what a gray January it has been.
Nice looking! I almost thought of tagging you on another listing!

Check out this bag. Reminds me of the old west saddle bags. I haven’t seen one before. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1010869730/vintage-coach-metal-tag-double-courier?click_key=e0c729509f0b0e4db380f8c0cd80fa6d4411f586%3A1010869730&click_sum=c71744c7&ref=shop_home_active_1&sts=1 I have one of...

Hello again! I just posted in Coach Goes to the Movies and wanted to respond to @Narnanz, @Lake Effect, @houseof999, @katev and all my friends here. I've been caught up in the events of the past couple of years, as so many of us were. There were major life changes for me with the passing of both my husband and dad. My love of Vintage Coach and the kind people on this forum helped me stay sane through those stressful times. I am doing well and life is sweet. Thank you for thinking of me! :heart::heart:
