And I’ve got a cute new bow tie 🎀

Didn’t want it at first … then seeing all the pics wish I had ordered it.
But hey… I have this bag. It’s kinda the same no? 🤣

What is going on at Baggu?

Anyway… they did finally reply but at least now they are offering options to have orders shipped again but in September 😭

Why is Strutton so rotund and cute?! I love him~~

Found a shirt I’ve been wanting for a while.
Item doesn’t pop up that often, this brands sizing is wildly different from item to item.
I guess even the seller acknowledges this because they put in the description to ask for measurements first.
I ask… they ignore.
I leave it but come back to the item after a while ask again… still no answer ?!

Why are people like this? A lot of people get so much flack on here asking why sellers are so flakey.
But if you’re actively listing things I think you’re making a sort of commitment to offer a sort of service.
I totally get that people have lives (as do those who are buying) we’re not expecting big corporation style service with next day delivery and things wrapped in paper and bows. Just a little common courtesy.

When they turfed Trafalgar Square?!
I was thinking about it the other day and my friends think I made it up but I found a Polaroid I took of it today!
I think it was around 2006/2007 or 2008.

Had a bunch of cute paper scraps left over from my bookbinding endeavours.
With a little fast drying book binding glue, used them to cover my passport sizes notebooks!

I love the traveler’s notebooks, find them so handy but more and more I never even use the leather cover anymore haha
Just shove one in the plastic sleeve and throw it in my bag. Also because I’m quite minimalist and don’t like carrying too much stuff, so always trying to find ways to make things as compact, simple or light as possible 🤪

So I’m across the pond in the UK! It’s not so easy for us over here haha
Luckily I managed to get this bag brand new with tags off of my neighbour! She brought it originally for her granddaughter who said she hated it lol

I feed her cat when she goes on trips. One time she had a pile of stuff she was going to donate to the local charity shops in her hallway, she said I was welcome to help myself to anything from the piles and I found the bag!!! The bag of my dreams 🥲 (and some good books too)
I offered to pay her but she refused!
So that’s how I procured the Sandy Liang crescent bag!

I love love love this plaid print in this colour way. It’s such a good way to just give that pop of colour to outfits. Also when I was traveling earlier in the year, wore it in Hong Kong - I got a lot of compliments from aunties and uncles in the market haha.
Felt undecided about the new pink though… even though I love pink, I’m not sure why it just didn’t appeal.
Maybe it’s the shade. I prefer the blue but at the same time also not sure about the shade of blue?! Haha

Love the plaid print but the new colours are not really for me… so my wallet was safe this time around 🤣

So took the bag out for my errands today.

Firstly I chucked all my dry cleaning in it and hauled it to the cleaners.
Bag is so roomy! 2 raincoats, 2 jumpers and a dress - no problem.
It folds down well, small enough to shove into my crescent baggu, then I skipped off to meet my friend for a coffee and do a little shopping.
Aha! Found a cushion that my cat would like… spotted some jelly shoes that my mother was after.
So you know when you didn’t plan to buy anything but end up picking up bits here and bits there and actually turns out to be a lot?
This bag is perfect because it’s huge and then you aren’t carrying loads of individual bags.
No bag lady look here! Just one large bag!! So much so I even chucked my crescent bag in there.

Also so.many.people complimented the bag and asked where I got it from! People really love the look!

It’s actually not that crinkly and less noisy than I thought. Straps are comfortable, long ones for shoulder and short ones for hand carry. Both are great, nice to have the options. Also seems to hold its shape well!

Potentially it could be a bit huge on those who are vertically challenged, eg/ I’m about 5”1 and it does look very large. (Photo included last slide when I was waiting for my friend on the hunt for a whimsy beaded bag in tk maxx).

If you’re anything like me and hate carrying lots of things, this is a great carry-all.
If we’re being honest an ikea bag does the same job but is not as cute.
So personally worth the price just for the cute and the compliments.

They have such cute miffy things at the moment.
Was really really contemplating that water bottle but I have so many?! Do I need another one just because it’s miffy?! lol still thinking I should go back for it since it’s such a unique hexagon shape.
Price is not outrageous either - £13.80

Going to put a few signs on my road tomorrow because I found someone’s baggu pouch !
I know I’d be so sad if I lost mine… also we’re in the UK where they don’t send replacements.

Hope I can reunite it with its person~~

Edit- found in NW London (if you lurk here slide into my messages)

In the middle of a spring clean and didn’t realise I had so many.
My favourite was the berry sticker which was on a laptop that was stolen 🥲 kicking myself that I stuck it on my laptop haha

Happy to trade the ones I have duplicates of if there are ones you are interested in?
Let me know! I’m in the UK!

I just love clear plastic stuff, caved and got the errands bag haha.

It’s crinkly but less than I thought?!
So I think with time as the plastic softens up with use (like ikea bags) I think it’ll be okay!

Not sure I’m allowed to to post this here, if not sorry 🙇🏻‍♀️

My aunt sent me a photo of this bag (apologies for the bad quality haha… it looks like she took the photo on a potato… she is quite old)

She *thinks* (can’t remember because she brought a lot of bags in the 80’s and 90’s) it was purchased maybe 30 or 40 years ago, anyone know anything about this bag? Or know roughly how much they are selling for on the second hand market?

It hasn’t been used much, she said probably a handful of times… maybe even less, in almost new condition!
I’m also super bad at research, so I turn to you all!
Thanks so much in advances :)

She decided to go digging in the soil, so had to put her in the bath to rinse her paws lol~
She deep sighs like a diva when she’s not into it haha
