@Boehm Collector That was so nice of her to give this to you! The leather looks yummy and the color will go with everything. Happy New Year! Enjoy!!

We got more "good" news yesterday.  One of my cousins in Italy 🇮🇹 and two of his daughters tested positive for COVID-19.  He is in his late 50's. He has a cough, fever, headache, and achy joints. The girls are asymptomatic.  He is being treated with an anti-inflammatory, an antiviral, vitamin c & d, and has to check his oxygen saturation levels.  It just doesn't seem to end. Good riddance 2020!

My fantasy bag would be the new Bulb Bag on pre-order with Neiman Marcus. Bottega Veneta. Buttercup.  I would have to meet with my "stylist" in my old stomping grounds in Walnut Creek, Ca. Oops, that store is marked for permanent closure in 2021. Ooops, we are in three more weeks of lockdown. 

Well, it WAS a fantasy.

@hicindy2  Camuto's site is offering something similar for about $200 and 15% off, I assume if you sign up for emails... Woven on one side only and it appears to be smaller, but here you go...

Thinking about a Roberta Pieri tote thru Dooney this Spring

Studies show distractions enhance creative work. Grateful to be a Bag-ette in 2021, thanks @stevieb.

I was inspired by @EdithEllenLily's comment about cleaning her mother's LV Speedy. Dug out [and now using] my two fav Speedys, one monograph (the special Summer Trunk version, honoring the original trunk LV), the other damier ebene:

Feeling gratitude for my handbag closet . . .

Oh Stevie, you hit this new post right on the head!! With the songs of The Beat Goes On and Whiter Shade of Pale.ahhhh.  I don't know what to say. I guess I can just say, "memories".. and good ones too. 

I love the Valentino bag in red, although I wouldn't mind it in black. The V in front would be very fitting for me  The sapphire jewels are gorgeous and beyond. Looking at Sonny and Cher flooded my memory bank. I always wanted to emulate Cher, but the closest I came was the long hair down to my caboose and long legs. I am not a singer and never will be. 

Lets hope for many "happy" memories for 2021. I know we've all had our share of the other kind. It's a quiet day here on the home front. I am going to head out to the kitchen and make Lemon garlic buttered scallops for LaDin. -(Lunch/dinner)

I wish all of of you a Happy New Year like never before.

@Leeny  I am sure a "Whiter Shade of Pale"  When I do zoom on the PC against the eggshell wall behind me, you just see a blob of white and dark eyebrows. Casper's Auntie !!

Nordstrom Rack has the pretty red also:

and a rich looking black

and a Frye in Sunflower

I don't post often, but when I do it's usually a question and you ladies have always responded.  I touch base frequently ( virtually)- reading and learning from you. Happy New Year  and love the name of  the new thread. Glad you decided to keep it going. Its these connections that are important now more than ever!

I don't know if I ever mentioned here or not, but I have a small LV cross body that I use to call my casino bag. lol. I haven't used it for years. I am thinking that probably needs a good cleaning too. Now, all I need to do is find it. I think it may be in my main closet or buried in one of my secret hiding places.. I think it's high time it comes out of retirement.
