Farewell for Now

Published by at 6:17 am under Family

Samsonite Fashionaire for the Fashionista

It’s 6 am! Why am I up? It’s because my brother is picking me up bright and early (well, early) to do a few errands and then go back to his place and my sister’s on the beautiful Mendocino coast. Carpooling there and taking the bus back makes me feel so greenly smug! Also I get to use my fabulous Samsonite Marimekko luggage, which is almost as old and charming as I am.

I’ll be computer-less and email-less until I get back. But don’t feel too sorry for me. It’s not only Thanksgiving, it’s Dungeness Crab season. There’s a farmer’s market on Friday, and there will be long walks in the redwoods and long talks by the fire.

In the meantime, Merry Thanksgiving to all, and to all a good pie (my sister is making three: pumpkin, apple, and huckleberry)!

    Sounds as though you will have a wonderful Thanksgiving – wish I was there too!

    BTW I always loved Marimekko fabric designs, but didn’t know that they designed for luggage as well. Haven’t seen their fabric for years, sadly.

    You take the MTA?!?! You are a brave woman.

    LOL no, I’m not brave enough for MTA!! My sis was going to drive me to Santa Rosa, where I’d get the GGT bus. But my brother’s friend was nice enough to give me a ride back to Oaktown on Sunday night. 🙂

    I saw your luggage in a store window in the Haight the week after I saw yours. Did you ever get that little problem inside them taken care of?

    There’s still a stain, but it smells better! Hee. I’m missing the carry on bag of the set, but otherwise, it’s complete. Will have to keep my eyes open.
