This week, I wasn't feeling great. I had the worst headache in the world dogging me all day while I went out to do the shopping; and so I had to popped some painkillers to skim the edge off it in a big way... and that was only the edge of it.
However, I did find a great find at Life Line of a Trent Nathan handbag; which was at a huge price of $25! But when one of the ladies took a closer look at the handles, she said they were ready to give way; and brought the price down to $10... with great relief I bought it with the intent to get the handles fixed up, because it's a great bag. It's two-tone, had red interior and hardly any wear, but the vinyl handles are its downfall. The last owner had put too much weight into the bag and destroyed them; and so gave it away. Personally, what a waste! So, yesterday, I took it into the boot repair man at Arndale at Springwood and asked if he repaired handbags as well; and to my relief he did. He took one look at those handles and recommended for me to have them replaced with leather and not vinyl again. It would cost me $50 and it'd be ready next week. So, I left it with him. Unfortunately, I didn't get a photo of the bag as yet. So, I'll upload one when I pick it up.
Another great thing I found was a little manicure/pedicure set. It's unused and has everything with it. It's also in great condition with a little zip to keep it all together. I'll be taking this one with me when I travel to the coast or overnight somewhere... it will come in use; and it's quite pretty as well. I actually thought it was a purse to start with, but was pleasantly surprised of its real function.
What have you picked up lately? A great bargain? Or something you haven't seen since you were young in almost new condition? Until my next post, happy bargain hunting.
