Am delighted that The Knights of Prosperity returned to TV last night. Love everything about this show.
Also, to celebrate my own awesomeness, I bought a new bag. I figure she'll do much to keep my Retrodelic company. Handmade, and one-of-a-kind, made by the talented Ellen from Bonspiel. Say hello to the Pufferfish:
I can't wait until she arrives!

Say Hello to My New Life Partner

Also, I made tomato sauce from scratch this afternoon. So here's a picture of that.
That is all. But, really, isn't that enough?

Poll: Bags
I am sad that there is no poll function on Blogger, because it makes taking polls difficult. Which is, perhaps, a good thing as it restrains me from polling about things like nail clipping and cheese sandwiches. But I feel the need to solicit opinions, so "poll" away I will.
Say you were considering purchasing a leather bag. And say you came across a Toronto-based designer named Retrodelic. And say you were torn between the two bags.

OR
The Maggie, available only in Sea Green:
Tell me what you think, please. Even if you hate them.

Spendy, Spendy!
Well, dreamy-spendy, that is.
Do you ever think about what you'd do if someone gave you a gift card to an upscale store like Holt Renfrew, or Saks Fifth Avenue? I do. Because I am graspy, and because I like to think about stuff that I'd like to make mine.
If I came into possession of such a thing, I would either put it towards purchasing another Mackage coat - this time of car coat length. In particular, this beauty, which I've visited in person, but without the stupid hood that isn't actually attacked to the coat.
Or, I would invest it in a classic, crazy expensive bag. Like this little lady from Furla:
Or this bad boy from Cole Haan:
What one item would you purchase? And it can't be practical! Okay, it can, because coat and bag? Practical. But it must be designer-y and make you drool.
