I love all these photos and discussions of gardens! We bought our house from a professional landscape architecture professor; before that family, a professor of horticulture and his master gardener wife lived in the house for 25 years. Our yard was beautifully landscaped with a seasonal rhythm of blooming trees and flowers. Unfortunately, with two kids, fulltime jobs, and less than stellar green thumbs, we have struggled to keep up with the beautiful landscaping-- we have simply tried to keep up with it. I'll post photographs next time we have a nice day. as the magnolia, lilac, quince, and apple trees are all blooming right now! Here are a couple of photos of our blooming bushes and trees from past years:

Pertaining to bags of late, I've been carrying this lovely oldie-- new to me, though: Hermes Trim II 31cm in chocolate (Ebene?) Swift leather.

Nope....it look really awful. I worked in landcscaping for 10 years and never got anywhere or was paid correclty for my work so I sort of lost motivation and interest towards the end. So the garden, apart from being weeded this lockdown , is not looking good...I need to do a rethink but really cant be bothered as it no longer brings me any joy.
I love looking at others beautiful gardens as I know the work involved.
Aw, I'm sorry...
 
This is adorable! I have been looking at the tiny Jaquemus bags lately. I wasn't sure how I would use one but seeing yours gives me some ideas:heart::cool:

Today I'm pulling out my ole' Mangue Balenciaga Work. The sun is shining and I figured this was the perfect bag for today:smile: This is an older pic from a train ride we took last summer.View attachment 4724364

Lovely blooms, lovely bag. That leather...:heart:
 
and speaking of beautiful leather, wow. What makes you like this bag so much? I'm curious, as I don't own one and actually haven't seen on IRL.
Hmmm, the way it hangs, the handle drop is perfect for my shoulder, it hugs your body so it's super comfy to carry, lovely leather. Great sized zip pocket on the lower front of the bag. Easy access to the "big black hole" which is actually easier to see into than most hobos. And the way it fools you into thinking the bag's a weird rectangular box when it's really nothing like that at all once broken in.
