A day

On my way to my first meeting.
Below is my Van Der Spek tote, after using it frequently for a year. I try to use lightweight bags as often as I can but on days when I carry my laptop with me, I use this one. It is not too heavy, despite being big and made of thick leather.  I love my bag charms. My bags do not feel personal if I don’t use one.

The pink tassel is my favourite. I like pink and it is great quality. I bought it when covid was at its height. All the shops at the airport were closed and the company rented a huge space and sold out everything from those shops at 70% discount. This tassel was one of the items on that sale.

My cousin Mandy in South Africa has grown the most beautiful King Protea, South Africa’s national flower. This is my favourite flower. It is not traditionally pretty in the way flowers normally are but it is a testament to flourishing in hard conditions. They dry very nicely after their fresh days are over.
