happy wednesday! this morning i found myself exploring my "spring" collection of "baggage". and baggage did i find! i never really considered myself much of a purse addict. that is...until i faced reality today! many of them have been with me awhile. i try to do the closet cleanse - but for me that that means moving things around to accommodate more items....instead of actually making "space" i find "room".
so...that quick visit to my closet brought forth the cheerful prints + soft colors i love. and with anything i am quite found of i have to throw it out there for your viewing pleasure! so enjoy a bit of my excess baggage!
here chick chick...a vintage chicken feed sack coupled + traditional blue & white ticking come together {below} to make for a fun market tote and impromptu display on my pegs. not to be forgotten is the eBay find from many moons ago...my wood beaded bag. i have to admit...this is actually number {2} of the same style. i wore the first one out only to spent months tracking down this one. call me creature of habit or maybe more appropriately a HIPPIE CHICK!

the palest of pale iridescent green + the fabulous macrame like 'belt" makes this faux croc tote a favorite even after {5} years of on & off use!
the close up {below} will have you wondering why i haven't put this pink cutie-patootie out to pasture. those of you who know my fondness for all things worn & wonderful will chuckle when i tell you i bought this little number that way! bring on the patinaPINK!
a few years back i sold these fabulous purses @ my shoppe of shady hollow. i glammed them up a bit, at the time, with vintage enamel brooches + floral pins. of course, being my own #1 customer, i kept this pretty thing {below}. there isn't a time when i carry it that i am not stopped & asked where i found it. maybe they should make an appearance again at patinaWHITE??

something you will still find at patinaWHITE is my line of sassy sacs. rough and tumbled in appearance - their cool hues are accented with silly sayings in glitter ink {below}. SMARTY PANTS is a favorite quip of mine...and YES, i do know it all. (just ask hubby!)
so if you are a smarty pants or know someone who is (don't we all??)...this sac, tote, book-lunch-diaper hauler serves many a purpose. and you can get your very own if you want to drop me a line! normally $24 each i will run a bag lady special of only $20 shipped to you! total...period...no extras!
choose your sac a la carte from the colors below...mocha, pink and charcoal! i should mention they are machine washable and wear like iron to boot!

well this "bag lady" is off! had to share a shot of me + my current bag love...my lucky-brand, soft as a baby's behind, fringed "suitcase".
i say suitcase because i am certain i could carry just about any & everything in it. and that's a good thing....because the reason i am heading out is i received a call from a junker buddy that said i have to see "something". be still my heart! hopefully it fits!
happy day all!
