Handbag Love
I have a love of handbags. I have so many handbags yet I claim to not have enough. Usually a conversation with Carl will go like this.
Me: WOW look at this bag I need it its so pretty and unique.
Carl: It looks like all your bags, you already have two that colour.
Me: No it doesn’t, I do not, it’s vermilion red and I don’t have any this colour. Plus it has these little pockets here…
And it goes on and on because even if I do have one close-to-exactly-the-same I will forever deny it because the new one is either bigger, smaller, a shade lighter, or better in some way or other.
Lately I haven’t been able to find a nice sized tote/shoulder bag that I like because I am fussy. I have scoured the shops and spent hours on ebay. Then yesterday I was visiting scribblescratch.com and came across this great contest to win a handbag by Rebecca Weis.
I have always been a sucker for entering contests, not that I ever win. When I saw the bag the winner would recieve I just had to join. It is the perfect size, shape and style that I have been looking for, and I just love the flower design matched with bamboo handles.




You just hit one of my weak spots also. I am trying to get out of my addiction to save money though. I simply try not to browse the internet to find cool handbags - shouldn’t be hard - but it is! I am not really much of a material girl but when it comes to handbags I don’t know what overtakes me! I wish you luck in the contest!

I have two bags: one is a jean bag, and one is green and white. I hardly ever use them; I just put everything in my backpack since I have it five days a week anyways. I’m not one for handbags, but that one is really nice. Good luck!

I have a million bags, and like you, I’m always looking to buy new ones. the one in the contest is really cute, the design is gorgeous!

I’ve never been a big handbag fan.

I’m pretty much the same as Clem, except I have four bags. I prefer shoes

I have just one tiny jean bag that I use for everything. But I really hope you win!

Must… enter… bag… competition…
Why must you know my weakness?! Now a competition for shoes and you’d have me eating out of the palm of your hand.
