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

Happiest of holiday weekends to all the bag ladies...  The weather here in the Nations Qwapitol hasn't been precisely celebratory these last few days, so we'll see what tomorrow brings...  More times than not, though, it seems the 4th around here is a bit of a wash out...  

 

And Maria, too bad the TJX excursion didn't turn up anything exciting... It really is feast or famine sometimes and it's all pretty specific to the day you hit it...  Wishing you and DH (and those chicken cutlets) all the best!!

 

Smiley Happy

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...

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

So, In other words, there is nothing you really like about this bag other than the looks?? 


All right Miss Kitty let's just nix the snark factor.  Evidently, you didn't get the memo, but these are the new and, uh, improved... Q boards where never is heard a discouraging word or you'll be labeled as contentious or something...  Besides, HELLO, do we routinely go out and buy bags we find to be ugly...?  I love the look, the color, the leather, I'm just not sure about the practicality and I am very sure the price it too much...


Snark? Huh?? I'm protecting your interests as a true friend would do! Trying to show you that no matter as pretty, the bag wouldn't make a good investment in your case.... Smiley Happy

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.....

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...

@stevieb: Stevieb, how are you posting your photos on this thread? I want to copy photos from the QVC site, but I still don't seem to be able to do it. I don't want to ask over on the suggestion box thread. Just thought maybe you knew the trick to it? I am computer literate, so this is driving me nuts. (I know how to upload a photo, but I just want to copy a pic over.) I'm not sure what I'm missing. Thanks!


I'm just going to the product page, copying and pasting back over here...  I'm not using the insert photo function.  I never could get it or the link function to work on the old boards (well actually, when I pasted a URL, for a long time, it automatically became a hyperlink and then for some reason it stopped and then using the insert link function never panned out) and I haven't tried it on these forums because I've not had to.  Incidentally, other than for hearts, the notification function remains pointless.


Oh. Well, that's what I used to do. But can't anymore. Must be platform issues. Will have to stick to links I guess. Thanks for letting me know.
