Thank you, Lord.

Gucci Canvas Tote: To sell or not to sell?

I said it before.  I will say it again.  

When it boils down to giving up one in order to make room for another.

Should I say goodbye to you?

Description:  Gucci Supreme Canvas Tote Bag

Color:  Dark blue and grey

Material:  Coated GG canvas (resistant to dirt and scratch), with leather straps

Type:  Medium tote bag, all-around bag, made in Italy 

Interior:  Cloth lining, one inner pocket, zipper 

Condition:  Very good condition, well-maintained (I bring my bags to Doctor Leather for cleaning. A visit also includes checking of the leather lining/trim for any signs of wear and tear.)

I bought it from a Gucci boutique along Canton Road in Hong Kong.  It is a sturdy bag that can hold stuff, e.g., wallet, cellphone, cosmetic kit, small folding umbrella, and a 12 oz. water tumbler.  At times, I use it to carry A4-size documents stacked in a hard folder or magazine pages (to keep the documents neat).  

For the bag's sentimental value, I have been thinking about selling it to a friend who knows how to take care of bags.

Design Challenge #1

How to transform a small living space into a (minimalist) halfway home?  

This kept me up for two nights in a row, since I want to tackle this gargantuan task as a personal project. I am not an interior designer by profession, but the inclination to transform a small room into a living space with a homey vibe is strong...Too much Star Wars, perhaps.  'The force is strong with this one.'  

I am also starting to enjoy visiting home stores in the Metro and online.  It is beginning to feel like the 'new normal.'  #MarriedLife  #MidLifeActivities

Any suggestions?
