Got a coupon in the mail: go to JC Penney’s and get $10 off anything you buy. Last time I got one of these coupons I bought a couple of nice decorative candles for about $3.00, and the time before that some comfy slippers for $1.99. So I thought I’d go take a look around and see if anything appealed to me.
I have this thing about purses. Bag. Handbags. Pocketbooks. Some people collect stamps, or Hot Wheels, or….comic books. I tend to collect bags. So I’m wandering through the handbag section at Penney’s and this beautiful knapsack jumps out at me. Not *literally* jumps out. But it almost might as well have. Bright colors, big pockets, not to mention the cute little monkey. My Inner Teenager just had to have it.
Actually, my Inner Teenager wanted to get the bag in vivid turquoise. I had to talk her into the more subdued purple. But I think it’s a compromise we can both be happy with.
For one crazy moment I had the idea that perhaps this bag could be everything I’ve ever wanted in a bag, and I might finally be able to stop looking and buying. I’ll let you know in a few days if this new bag works out as well as I’m hoping it will.
And if it does….maybe I’ll go back and get the turquoise one as well.
