Hi girls,

Just got back from work and my "research" trip in time for BB. @Boehm Collector Report soon.

Anyone watching?
I was downstairs watching it, Serendipity @Serendipity! What did you think of the MOP paisley set? Did you order anything? I did. I am trying again with the citrine flower ring. I loved the citrine in it, but my first ring had uneven tarnish. I'm hoping this one is a winner because I just loved the citrine, especially next to the 18K gold flowers. Sooooooooo pretty!!!
Oh @EdithEllenLily, I have six things in my cart. Trying to figure out which one or two! The paisley I wanted is sold out now, but I have waitlist in my cart too. Ugh. I love hearing her talk. This is the first time I've watched a presentation. Very enjoyable I thought. Not all the items I'm eyeing are from this presentation. I saw more was posted to the site. What do you think of the mermaid or grassphopper? At first, I thought they might be too much, but looking closer they appear beautiful. So much trouble!
Serendipity @Serendipity!!! Six BB things in your cart? Oh my! You need to simmer down. Okay, let's talk. In the past few years, I have ordered both the large and small grasshopper, but there was something not right with each one (can't remember -- read the reviews before you order). Frustrating because I have a soft spot for grasshoppers remembering my grandfather teaching little EEL how to gently catch them and then let them go outside of his house. Are you tall? I think you have to be tall to wear the larger grasshopper because he is kind of large. The smaller grasshopper may not be an enhancer (just a pendant, I think, and some people said it didn't fit on any of their necklaces, but I don't know if the one we have is one of those...). Mermaid: I think she is beautiful and so did Mr. Lily. However, there is something up with the placement of that pearl. It looks weird to me, like she is birthing it or something. Since all I look at is that pearl, I can't buy her.

Oh, thanks @EdithEllenLily. I NEED help. So, I'm down to five things. But truth be told -- I already ordered three things yesterday! Should I spill? Ugh. Yes, I am tall, so the large grasshopper I think would be very nice. I agree with you about the pearl on the mermaid. In fact, if it wasn't that, I'd have ordered it already. When BB said she was a mermaid, I was like, that's me. I, too, am a mermaid. OMG. LOL. The other things in the cart are the OTO cross, because it's a good price, but I wonder if I already don't have too much pink from her. The abalone cross, which looks beautiful but may be a hit or miss. Oh, and the waitlist paisley, which I may cancel if I order some fo the above. Still not sure....

I found a cute pair of sandals yesterday while my sister-in-law was trying on shoes.

These sandals were so comfy and then I looked at the price $225.00.

I had never heard of the brand (Finn Comfort) but those were so nice.

Wow, that is expensive, SGH @Sister Golden Hair! I wish you could move the decimal point one point to the left! I have never heard of Finn Comfort...I will have to look for them!

@EdithEllenLily I kept thinking today how that purse organizer, if you got the apple green, would match your Bendel bag. But then realized if perforated maybe you couldn't use then. Then I realized ... I think I really like that bag of yours a lot. I keep thinking about it! I'm at least glad you bought it. LOL.

Oh yeah, baby, I ordered the apple green!!! I love green!!! I carried that Henri Bendel for two months this summer! Long for me. I just love it. The neon perforation has a dark background, so you can't see into the handbag (and the handbag is lined).

Serendipity · ‎04-29-2015

@EdithEllenLily I don't think I would ever go for snakes and skulls, but you know what, if it were LisaR presenting with BB, they could probably sell me the London Bridge! It's a good thing I didn't watch them before.

I knew it! I just knew it. Good for you. That will look great. If you ever see that handbag again or in another color, send me a copy cat alert! I think that might be my favorite handbag mentioned on this post. And, then you go and say you have the coordinating wallet. For this, an exception might be made. LOL.

You know I love crosses, especially BB crosses, but I did not love this OTO cross. There was something about the shape of it that didn't set well with me. And since the flowers on our necklace are 18K yellow gold and these were 18K rose gold, I didn't think it would work. But it may work on a black leather necklace or black cord. Now that I saw the presentation of the paisley items, I didn't like them. There will be more items to consider throughout the weekend...go slow on the ordering @Serendipity!
