Hi Fabulous Friends!

A few days before Christmas while riding the subway, I struck up a conversation with a lovely woman named Claudette who was sitting next to me. The topic: Her fabulous vintage DVF bag. So we’re having a great conversation about her awesome bag. I ask her where she got it. It was a gift from a friend, she replied. She asked me if I would like it. I said of course (thinking that she would tell me where I could purchase it). Then she says “Ok, you can have it”. I couldn’t believe it. Then she hands me the gorgeous vintage DVF bag. I had never received such a heartfelt gift from a stranger! What a kind and giving person. Even now, I can’t believe she gave me such a fabulous bag. I used it for the first time today, while at the Today Show with Constance White.

Giving is such a beautiful thing. So often we forget the power of giving. This gift will always be special to me for this very reason.

Thank you Claudette : ).
