I will still be on the lookout for those Koobas. There ARE other TJM stores in the Chicago area! Woman Wink I just hope the cameras in the store are not on me when I'm checking them out...


 

 

 

What a fabulous idea...  Calls have been made...  They will be on you...  All of them...


Woman Surprised Maybe I'll order one online with a place that has free shipping and free returns! Woman Tongue


Whatever...  the good Mister and I have also wired up your computer... You can run, EEL, but you CAN NOT hide...  Your M.O. is now known world wide and you have been tagged...  You best be changing your ways... It's your only hope for sal-a-va-shun...  Have Mercy!

 

 


You won't believe this (but please try)...as of today I am changing my ways. You know the day you were sick of handbags? Sick of them? Well, I'm there. I still love them, but I don't want to buy any more. I am going to go through all of them now that the garage sale is over and make a new master list with the handbag and its location and start using these beautiful handbags. I wish I could be your first resident in the handbag treatment program because between us maybe we could figure out why we buy so many of them. There has to be some psychology behind what we do...wish we could sit down together and analyze it...sometimes I really can't believe how many handbags I have! And they keep rolling in! It does help to write about it here with someone who understands, so thank you, stevieb, for being my handbag friend. Woman Happy


 

It would be interesting to discuss, sort through and try to resolve...  Here's hoping we both have some success or at least some limits...  I just get absolutely stuck when I try to clean out closets (or spare bedrooms) by the volume of them and that's part of why I've been so resistant lately.  I still love them, there are even a few I'd really love to own and maybe I will purchase a bag every now and then, but I'm frankly overwhelmed by them...  We can be the two charter members of our very own chapter of Handbags Anonymous...  Enjoy the 4th, EEL...  Personally, I'm not a big fan of all the noise, and as far as fireworks go, if you've seen them, you've seen them, so it's not among my favorite holidays, but I'll take it for what it's worth...  If the sun would shine, at least I could go to the pool and read a trashy novel...

 

 


All right EEL...  I'll make note of the fact that you did say 'as of today' (which was yesterday) because otherwise, having viewed your posts over in the AK thread and the Spartina thread, your credibility would be slipping... and badly...

 

 


Oh, those two were not expensive at all...the AK was only $45! It has a really cool fluid gold metal tassel (soft and a little slinky)! 

 

I'm with you, SS, about fireworks...they are so loud and jarring, and I'll bet your kitty doesn't like them, either! Mr. Lily always wants to go see them and sometimes he does. Last year we had our backyard trees trimmed and we could see them from the second floor of our house, which was my kind of fireworks! This year with the wet spring and early summer so far, our huge American Linden tree, while pretty, will be in the way. 

 

So my desire to hold off of purchasing new handbags has really come over time (and we know it's been on and on as long as you all have known me), but yesterday I was so embarrassed. I was upstairs slaving away cleaning the inside and outside of our windows meticuously when I heard Mr. Lily laughing and the door opening and closing. I came downstairs and saw two boxes and a plastic bag with clothing waiting for me. I said "oh my" and Mr. Lily said the UPS driver, who is not our regular guy but someone who knows our house pretty well, walked up the driveway and handed Mr. Lily the three items. Mr. Lily took the packages from the UPS guy to relieve him and said something about a large amount and the UPS driver laughed and said, "This is a GOOD DAY!" Woman Embarassed

 

I think it will be challenging to simmer down on ordering, but I will try! Woman Happy

Do you know that there is a HOBO wallet named Stevie? And it comes in four colors! Sale with 25% off today! Stevieb, do you like this wallet design? I know the other Stevie offerings have not been to your liking (Kate Spade and Dooney handbags).

Hi BC -- I ordered it and returned it because it was too narrow and too small for my items. Check out the measurements before you order! Have a nice Fourth, EEL

Hi EEL .... i will definitely check out the measurements.  But other than the size, what were your thoughts about the bag?  What is the leather like?  Thanks, Maria

Just an FYI to you all, ladies.... I finally found something useful to keep me busy - I've become a presenter for a cosmetics line so now I need to find a few customers to make some profit... So, if I don't post much anymore - that's the reason why. Unfortunately, I can't advertise over here.....

Good luck with your new presenter endeavor, TK! Maybe you can show some of your co-workers after hours (the ones that are rather 'plain')? Woman Wink And I don't know if it's the company that gives out cars for top sales, but if it is, what a good way to get a new car! And this company used to give pink cars, but I have seen white ones tooling around here more recently...

 

In any case, come back when you can! Woman Happy


Thank you, EEL. I don't think I'll be that much involved in this business to earn a car.... I'd have to sell one million in wholesale cost.....and then there are some additional requirements before they give you a $750/month allowance so it seems like the car wouldn't be exactly free.... 

 

Perhaps you heard of the company....it's very "younique" Smiley Wink

EEL, have you heard of Domino Amjet? That's where this guy from Chicago works now.... he is a help desk support there for a new industrial printer.... In his last job he was a help desk manager.... This doesn't sound good to me....seems like a step backwards??

Yes EEL, I do like this style of wallet (and the color). No EEL, I don't want or need another new wallet... and neither should you...

Re: Handbags, Mystery Trips and so on... 3Q-2015

So, I'm not big fan of Tig, but some of you might remember that last winter I ordered and returned two Tig bags to the Q, having found them for about half the cost at the Maxx...  so right now I'm carrying this bag...

 

As Is Tignanello Distressed Leather Satchel - A269586

 

in this color...

 

Tignanello Distressed Leather Statement Satchel

 

And I have to say I'm really liking the bag, which incidentally looks much better in person and is not nearly as stiff or as boxy as it might seem...  The cloud color is absolutely beautiful too... but is getting hard to find.

So maybe he's a smaller fish in a bigger pond...  Might or might not be a step down...  Either way, you don't even know the guy and he's in Chicago...  You might want to shop locally...

Incidentally TK, good luck with your new business venture...  At one time I sold beauty products as a sideline, but I more or less did it with just a small, select group and did it mostly for the discount...
