Hi guys, how are you all doing? Fine I hope. Are we all adjusted to the new normal yet? Things might be opening up again in your state, and what does that feel like? For us in California, things are still shut down (though some counties are starting to loosen restrictions). As for myself, I’m venturing out more (but always with a mask of course). I went to the Farmer’s Market for the first time since the pandemic started. I went right when it opened and there were already lines to get into stalls (since they only let in a few at a time). Lines at Farmers Markets make it decidedly less fun, though of course they’re needed for safety. I just went in to grab some veggies and fruits and got outta there in 20 minutes. I’ve also started going to Target, which is sooooo nice after not going for so long. It’s great to be able to get some nonessentials in person for once! They also limit the number of people going in and it feels pretty spacious in there.

Anyways as things go back to a new normal, I think it’s okay to not live in fear and do things you enjoy (even if it means a slightly elevated risk from being out and about). Of course, if you live with someone who is vulnerable to the virus then it’s a different story. But I think for the most part, we’re all going to have to get used to living with the virus. We’re just going to have to have new routines: face masks, 6 feet part physical distancing, no gatherings indoor with non family members, and of course washing your hands and not touching your face. I found this post by a Univ of Mass professor about the risks to corona exposure to be both reassuring and informative.

And this week my blog posting schedule will be a tad different. There’ll be a post tomorrow and Thursday about bags. Both were written in January during pre-corona times. But I had pushed them back for one reason or another and then once corona hit, it seemed gauche to post them. But I’m running out of new posts and so decided to lump them here this week. TBH I’m more into plants than purses right now (purchased 10 plants in the last several months but my last bag purchase was in 2019). I don’t know where you are in your purse passion right now, but if you’re interested in buying secondhand bags, and especially secondhand Celine bags, then this week is for you. If not, please just skip this week and I’ll see you again next week!
