The Busyness of Life...

Wow!  It's been four months and I haven't blogged here for so long!

But I have found some great bargains while I have been out and about in my travels.  

I haven't been looking at Glo-Mesh Handbags so much - as I have so many, I don't think I need them so much anymore.  It's nice to have the collection I have in the suitcase; and they're so lovely to use when I want to use them - but that suitcase is so darned heavy!

But I have been updating the wardrobe!  On Wednesday just gone - payday - I went out to Life Line at Logan Central and scored myself a couple of wicked purple tops for around $9.00ea!  Very sweet seeing Winter is coming in and I need something nice to protect my neck now I don't have much hair.  

For those who haven't been keeping up with my other blog - and my Facebook page - I did the World's Greatest Shave, and shaved all my long red locks off!  A lot of it went to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths Promotion for them to make it into a wig for somebody to use while they undergo Cancer treatment.  But it takes 6 ponytails to make one wig.  So, my ponytail will be one of many... but I'm pleased anyway.

I also found a lovely burgundy wrap at Life Line for $5.00 too!  How cool is that?  I'm so pleased I'm finding some lovely clothes and things to wear to match my hair... plus I look much better with make-up on than without it.

And yesterday, I went to Rivers at Springwood and found a box of scarves near the door for $1.00ea!  So, I went through them all and found some lovely colours to go with my clothes; and they'd be nice to use in the car for days when the days are cooler as they're not too big.  I did go there to buy a coatigan (long cardigan) but they didn't have my size; but I came away with things that were much more beautiful.  

So, now you know what I've been up to - and why I've been so quiet lately - let me know what bargains you've found.  Until my next post, happy bargain hunting.

Buying Bags... Well, Not Now.

It's been a long time since I've been here.  I know I have been neglecting this blog, and it's not good of me to do this.  

However, I do have a good reason for it.  I haven't been buying any handbags or coin purses lately.  It's not that I don't want to or don't have the cash to, but it's because I have opened my own little hobby business and it's taken up all my time and money (what little I have of it) to run it.

I have bought one bag over the holidays from the markets; but it was a first in over 6 months because it was hand-made and very pretty.  I have used it a few times and love it.  There was a collection of other things I bought at the markets, but this bag was completely original.

I'll try to get back here and keep you all updated of what I've been up to... otherwise, the blog to keep looking at more is 'Crafty Pegs' or 'My Reading List' as I frequent them more now.  I will buy a bag once in a while and post it here, but not as often as I used to.  Until I do, keep bargain hunting.
