So for some reason in the past year or so I went from having one bag at a time because well I was utterly practical that way to being a total bag collector ( I was going to use some euphemism for well shall we say a loose woman but I didn’t want that to turn up on a google search string) Anyway…I have long lusted after a lexie barnes lady b bag in ‘little miss perfect’.
However they are ridiculously overpriced rather expensive so I have always managed to stop myself in time. I should have bought one when webs had the 2nds for about half price but did I, of course not. Anyway that pattern has been discontinued so when I saw the mini bag set for half off…well I’d had a hard week so I snatched it up. Now I still think they were bit pricey but I just love that retro thing. Also I figured if I got the mini bags maybe it would stop me from lusting after the big bag. I must say I was *very* pleased with Lexie B. It shipped the same day I ordered it and they wrapped it even! Last bag I ordered on line was in a plastic bag but this was just spoilage.
So I opened it up and found this.
The big one is just huge. I’m not sure I needed these but oh my god in my secret black girly heart I love them. Now in spite of the fact I got them to stave off the desire for the big one. I must have it. There is only one that I have been able to find in the US and my mom kindly offered to get it for me as a combination birthday present from this year (she’s been amazingly busy) and Christmas for next year gift. I’m pretty sure I’m going to take her up on it. If I wait till next year I’ll decide to be all practical and want something for the new house we’ll have around then and what fun is that? I must have been feeling really girly last week since I also ordered a couple of rings off fleabay. The first one arrived yesterday and I’m not sure how I feel about it. Since I was not totally in love with my wedding rings right off the bat and I love them now this doesn’t disturb me as much as it should. I’ll take pictures when they both have arrived. I should have finished my most boring socks ever by now in fact I had planned on finishing them yesterday but it didn’t happen. I will finish today and get them mailed off to my mother. I also have to mail off yarn to Mszzzi since I promised her I would. So yesterday I did something I have long been avoiding I took pics of the entire stash. They turned out even too craptastic for me so I’m going to try again today. I am thinking I’ll just do a drawer a day though so I can get it entered into ravelry. I just think it might be easier to stave off the must buy yarn now thing if I can see my stash without digging through its containment system.
I lurve those bags, but I can’t be swayed. I don’t collect bags or purses, but I do buy a new backpack every couple of years. And I get purses every now and then for when I want to go to the movies (theaters like to kick me out and make me come back with my knitting in a ziploc bag).
