I Didn’t Know I Was Looking For Purses

When I left the house early this morning (with my husband and daughter Lauren)to go exploring at a nearby Market Days, I didn’t know I was looking for or needed a beaded evening bag ($10), but I did.

And then, as so often happens during treasure hunting, once I found the first bag, my focus switched from household treasures to purses.

After I found the snake skin hobo bag from Saks ($12), and after I arm wrestled my daughter, who wanted it too,

she then found these.

At a different booth, she found

*a red suede Ruth Saltz bag from the 70’s

(it is amazing…)

and

*a Paloma Picasso black leather bag.

My husband went along to drive the truck, because we thought we would find furniture.

When that didn’t happen, our daughter Lauren bought him a sack of these (homemade butter cookies).

Everyone was happy.

  11. I love to find unusual bags, but then end up carrying the same old navy blue bag from day to day. I love that red suede.

  17. At first I thought the snake skin hobo bag was a bathing suit and I was going to say "ooh la la" :)
    What a great day for bag buying!! I think you're set for the year!

  18. Oh My, Oh My.... I am the purse queen... Love & know my purses. You got some beauties!!!
    I am a collector & I am pretty sure that the white one is worth a whole lot more then the $10. you paid. That handle alone would bring in some cash. Great finds...

  19. Fantastic finds! My sister-in-law makes great ones, too. All I ever find is junk. Sigh.

    I'm so glad you found my blog, because now I've found yours :)
