Private Sales

Leather Pochette from Moschino

As you know, I only just got my Italian credit card recently and I am eager to find out if it's working. Not that I shopped any less before, but I often had to "borrow" Hub's card and it can be quite inconvenient (especially if you were trying to hide the purchases).

This morning, I zapped the card in a total of 5 private sales. Am glad to say that 5 times out of 5 the card worked. Now I just need to find out when the money will be debited and try to use up more of my WW3 food stock for a few weeks nearer the time.

18kt Pearl earrings from Bliss

Got a new leather pochette from Moschino (realised that I didn't have a suitable bag for formal dinners), performance ski wear from Dainese for the boys (including a replica of ski champion Axel Svindal's helmet), big grandmotherly pearl earrings from Bliss, sports sandals for the boys from Teva, a red linen top and bottom from my favourite Spanish designer Adolfo Dominguez and swimwear from Triumph. Actually I have tonnes of new swimwear - but each year I grow fatter and can never fit into any of them. Since I don't think I'll manage to lose any weight before summer, I've decided to buy something bigger.

Private sales on the Internet are great because it's not easy buying anything here in Modena. Without moving from my home, I can buy quite a number of things and at the same time I ensure the survival of the Italian postal system.
