I used leather conditioner first. Then I polished them. It something my parents taught me...buy quality leather goods, take care of them, and they can last you a life time! As a matter of fact, BOTH bags are hand-me-downs. One from my mother and one from my grandmother. Which just goes to show you that a classic shape will stand the test of time! Hmmm...sounds like a good topic for a future blog post. :-)MicheleStitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16359536829512273796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12973326.post-26268210796522884852014-10-09T09:48:44.988-05:002014-10-09T09:48:44.988-05:00You've got a great selection here!

Love the berry cords, the plaid shirts, I love that you make AND wear your cardigans + your shoes all look like new (you polished them before you took the picture, admit it :) ), and your bags are so timeless! I would take them both.<br />I've also been waiting to get basic leather knee high boots, 2 years and counting, because apparently you now have to have a calf liposuction to wear them (that's an actual thing). <br />I'm very curious so see how you find the whole concept of having a limited wardrobe - I'm coping surprisingly well thus far. <br />Looking forward to reading more of your updates!<br /><br />KatKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573352489206166225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12973326.post-57292485408032377572014-10-08T20:05:45.681-05:002014-10-08T20:05:45.681-05:00You are a wealth of wisdom for sure <3You are a wealth of wisdom for sure <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12973326.post-46326773286477266092014-10-08T20:03:58.016-05:002014-10-08T20:03:58.016-05:00of course the cardigans you own are made by YOU! y...of course the cardigans you own are made by YOU! you're so cool. and i love the chevron blouse & boots you got.

But, as my wife Vanessa always says when asked about pair down this or that, it boils down to "Do I NEED it? Do I LOVE it? Do I USE it?" <br /><br />The china problem has come up a few times on our Edit & Forget It Challenge Facebook page. One of the better recommendations was to find a young couple just starting out and gift the china to them. They'll surely love and appreciate it. <br /><br />Your fabric conundrum is one that some of our crafters talk about on the B page, too. You may want to have a look. If nothing else, you'll certainly find some kindred spirits there!<br /><br />Best of luck, Michele!<br /><br />- Dan HayesDaniel Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15227038204282059433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12973326.post-19398977180575902532013-05-21T21:53:20.135-05:002013-05-21T21:53:20.135-05:00Beautiful!
