Bargain Saturday

Yesterday I hosted a purse party. A friend of friends in town here makes these awesome purses and wallets and ID holders, diaper bags, bibs, etc. out of very cool fabrics. I'd been seeing the purses around town and hearing Angie's name since I got here, so when I finally ran into her in the flesh at a Silpada party, I asked her if she ever did purse parties. Occasionally, she said. So I had one yesterday and there were over 20 orders placed! Wow! We had a houseful of ladies eager to do some purse shopping!

Here's part of what I got... The bottom of this purse is made out of a placemat. Cool, huh?


Inside are lots of pockets... a necessity in a good purse.


And I got a wallet, several ID holders to slip a Starbucks giftcard into for Syd's MDO teachers when the session is over, and a couple of great headbands. I shall be styling this summer...



I also special ordered an "Abby Moon" purse to be made with several different green fabrics.

Secondly, down the street they were having a huge garage sale, which was only new with tag Gymboree children's clothing. I tend to like a lot of Gymboree stuff, but would NEVER pay full price for any of it. This lady has an Ebay store, but was trying to trim her inventory. I helped her out a little. Good deals, no shipping! Some of this is hard to see. Love the sailor look and lots of blue on my redheads.


and that was my very materialistic Saturday. :-)
