Beautiful
View attachment 4164505 Today has been bittersweet but yet exciting in a wistful way. My family and friends caravanned several hundred miles to move our daughter into her dormitory; she is a stellar, driven student and was accepted into her dream school, so I’m proud, but wondering how I’ll feel when I get home. I was able to distract myself from the upcoming good-byes by staging this beautiful Willow Nomad in the afternoon sun. Funny, because I saw @katev’s picture earlier and thought I’d already posted.
Great pic!! Best wishes for your daughter

Another pretty nomad.
Looks like nomad is the flavor of the season :)
 
You know that I love your bag and charm! Just hang in there, things should get easier soon.
Thanks! Its fun to see someone with the same tastes.
You know, when my son moved to college it didn’t feel the same, and he was going to a low- key, non-threatening suburban town, but dd’s university is smack in the middle of a city with a gritty edge and its accompanying issues. My kids have only experienced large cities on vacation. Oh well, she’ll learn how to handle herself quickly.

Yeah, that's scary. I went off to Los Angeles from a small town when I went to school but back then the area around the college was like a small town. My daughter went to college in NYC so that was something. She handled it well and soon became a New Yorker. You know your daughter will do fine. You must be so proud!

I am, and thank you, but yes, that’s how I was initially feeling. Great that your child thrived in such an intense place like New York! I went to school in LA also, (hmm, could we be crosstown rivals, perhaps?):smartass:
 
Hmm. I went to UCLA. Tell me you aren't a Trojan!
Hah, Yes I am:amuse:. I suspected as much when you said the area felt like a small town. Funny thing is that DD was accepted at your school also and I was rooting for it!! what a traitor I was, but as least she’d be closer than the Bay Area. (She turned her nose up at ‘SC) And there’d be excuses for spending the weekend in a fancy hotel enjoying fine dining and shopping in West LA:graucho:.

I guess you've seen the error of your ways! lol. I don't blame your daughter for turning down USC! Westwood has gone downhill. It isn't nice like it was when I went to school there. I grew up in the Bay Area. I didn't come home much. I usually flew home when I did. My daughter went to school only about 2 hours away and almost never came home.
 
I've already posted this in the Coach Rehab and Rescue Club but I will also share it here. Today I am carrying my latest rehab projects, they are an older bag and wallet (but not yet vintage) and they cost me a total of $68, so they were a pretty sweet deal and they were kindly authenticated by the experts here on PF.

I got the Soho Leather Laced Flap in Buckskin and Brass 11879 at a charity resale shop for $39 (MSRP = $448 in 2008) and the Poppy Whipstitch Wallet in Natural Leather and Brass 47042 on ebay for $29 (MSRP = $168 in 2012). FYI, a bag has to be at least 20 years old before it is referred to as vintage.

They were both easy rehabs and I like them a lot and I've decorated the bag with my Coach Tony Duquette fob. The bag and the wallet are not a matched set but I think that they complement each other well.
