The rattan valise or Chinese lunchbox or clearly most charming thing ever arrived last week. It was the only item that I purchased on our vacation other than food and newspapers. From a high shelf in one of my favorite shops, she winked at me and I did think we had a lot in common. Bill and the boys agreed, “You have to get it,” they cheered. So I did.
She arrived by post and the newly-teenaged middle boy had to wait while I rescued her from the box.
“This is so silly. I have no idea what I’m going to do with it,” I confessed as I pulled it from the popcorn.
“Do you love it?” he asked.
“I do,” I admitted, sliding the pin from the latch and opening it to peek inside.
“Are you going to Instagram it?” he teased. “Hash tag ‘swag,’ hash tag ‘YOLO’?”
I looked up, “YOLO?”
“Mom,” he rolled his eyes letting me know how truly hopeless I am, “You only live once.”
Indeed.
YOLO… I will be quoting this… 🙂 xv

Happy April.

Haha, that what I hear from my newly minted teen boy too…. YOLO!
Enjoy your bag, I can see lot's of uses… holding your paper work near your desk, napkins, scarfs, a few magazines, vintage books for display….
I had to go to Urban Dictionary to look up #Swag. Pathetic, I know, but that's what happens when the kids move away. Thanks to you I'm keeping up on lots of fronts. Color me Pantone Emerald full of envy. #Swag, indeed!
I will be yelling YOLO at least once daily. And a big yes to the YOLO on this swag!
