 Happy New Year.. I don't post much, but I read  enough here. And you ladies have been terrific suggesting small bags for me. I changed my name  cause I was getting some spam elsehwere and wanted uniformity with the boards I am associated with. It's worked out great. And I adore the  name Violet. !!!   It suits me!!

@Annabellethecat66  Were you the one looking for a backpack with leather straps  Looks like Nordie's has a Vince Camuto on sale 

 and a Botkier

 Not on sale (Nordie's), but Frye's has a satchel in metallic silver that looks fun

• 14 ½"W x 9"H x 6"D. (Interior capacity: medium.)
• 7" strap drop; 20" - 22 ¾" convertible strap drop.
• 2.5 lbs.

 Dillard's is doing "my" small Lexi (Dooney) in Ostrich 

I love Dooney has an ostrich Tammy tote.  ILD has a savings code of $20.19 

Like the "pickle" 

 Brahmin has a snazzy version of the Copa Cabana (Dillard's)

@Bird mama I used to get HSN coupons (via email) all the time. Now, I occasionally get one in the mail and almost never use them. First, I'm cutting back (or trying to) and the big thing is no, you can never use them for sale items... When I caught myself searching the site for something to buy, I decided to just STOP... Don't know why I stopped getting emails from them, but am just as glad... Eventually, I'll get around to changing my email preferences for this tired place, because I can't remember the last time they offered anything that had me intereseted...

Too bad about the meds... My pharmacy plan is continually bugging me to sign up for mail order and this is one big reason why I don't... It's not that big a deal for me to head up to Target (CVS) every few months to pick them up and know they're going to be available... Good luck and hope they show up soon...

@stevieb Well, the pleasure of hanging with you and the ladies is very true and dearly returned in kind. I just read your first post again and cannot tell you how delightful it is to read these opening posts. It makes me wish you would do them more, but since they are few and far between, I think it makes them even more special. 

Seeing all of those gorgeous black handbags has me remembering...I truly need to stop getting into one brand and then collecting too many of them. It always results in bag burnout, and it was really nice to remember that there are other brands out there...and also ones that are more attainable...but we always want the ones we can't get...

Some vintage styles have been made into classics that are made again and again. Here are a few, vintage and newer from CHANEL. 

Your program of vintage songs intermixed with the non-vintage guys was absolutely stellar. What beautiful words and images in those songs.

And since you like those vintage songs, here is one for you.

Looking forward to our handbag visiting this year...EEL

@EdithEllenLily Oooh La La... I'll have one each of those above, please and thank you...

I was going to say one of each, but, well, no need to be greedy...

I saw that backpack.  I actually am carrying one I bought on QVC.  It's nice but just isn't perfect.  I think I'm looking for something that doesn't exist right now.

My daughter bought a (I think it was Kate Spade one) or I forget who made it.

She said she saw Taylor Swift with it and bought it.  Normally she won't touch anything a celebrity has or wears (reverse snob)...Ha!  But it's not for me, way too big!

I'll find it on QVC

It's nice leather, but heavy.  I have a heck of a time finding things because it has so many zippers.

Oooh @Annabellethecat66  that's cute. What color did you get?
