First off, I must say that I have finished my clean out and didn't come across anything that was worthy of a give away... sorry about that. But I didn't wish to part with any of my good purses; but I didn't want to give you guys anything that was horrible not worthwhile either.
Well, I went out today to do my fortnightly shop and was looking at changing over my handbag again. I'm just not comfortable with it; that's all. It bugs me all the time and doesn't seem very easily accessible so I thought to find another one. However, instead, I found two lovely bags and nothing to replace my handbag. Bummer, but I guess that's how it happens sometimes.
It was the Glo-Mesh evening bag I saw in the window I spotted first; and grabbed it straight away. It's brand new, made in Hong Kong and has never been used. And if it has, it's only got a few little marks on the tiles. I looked inside and - instead of being white - the inside was brown; a colour I've never seen before. I looked at the tag and it saying Hong Kong explained why. This bag looked new because it was a recent make and the colours inside had changed from the vintage white/creme colours to a chocolate brown instead, very nice and clean too. I'm impressed with my purchase and happy with it.
The next one I spotted was hiding in amongst the other handbags on the shelves. It's a Burberry Bag, made in London; something we don't get here often, and if we do, it usually costs a lot of money to import. It's been used, and loved, however I love the simplicity and complexity of it in the same bag. The checkered pattern on the outside is continued on the inside where it's nice and neat and very well-taken care of. On the bottom, there's little feet and the handles are in very good condition too - with no frays to speak of. This impressive little bag is something I love to collect now as it's very cute and is easy to cart places; and with the feet on the bottom, it keeps the dirt at bay. So, these two bags were my impressive scores at Life Line today... it's amazing what you find when you go into an Op Shop!
