Bag Borrow or Steal

I have a confession...I love handbags. I love to find a new one that is irresistible to me. I enjoy all different styles too, from the sedate to the really girlish. However, my budget doesn't love handbags so I've never felt free to really indulge this desire of mine. I do love going to thrift stores, however, and the first thing I look at are the handbags. Just recently I found a cute, funky bag for only $6. A great find and I love carrying it!

Now...I find this site very interesting: http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/
Designer handbags that you can rent! At first the prices really made me wince...nearly $100 a week to rent something that only carries my keys, phone and wallet?? But, then I reconsidered...if a person was really hung up on designer labels (I'm so obviously not that way) and if the person had the money to blow...well, then this is a really great idea when you consider that most of the bags cost thousands of dollars to own.

At any rate, here is a pic of my new (to me) cute little handbag! Also, new pics of the boys on my picasa link. :)

Cute purse!!! I can't imagine paying to borrow a purse! Maybe it would be a good investment for you! You could invest in all those purses and then make others pay you to rent them!!!

Nice try, Moni. I can just see you trying to justify all those shopping excursions and purse buying trips. "But Dave, I'm renting it out. It's my BUSINESS!"

No really, cute purse Lynda, and I am a loyal to my purse gal. I keep them for years!

I just heard of this service the other day. Seems I have a relative who uses it. I don't think I could ever bring myself to do that.

You may also try Etsy for cute hand made purses!

Etsy is fun to browse thru! But I have had the idea, previously, of trying to make a tote bag (to start with). First, tho, I have at least 3 quilting projects to start and finish! Trying to do projects with a 2 yr old in the house is a nightmare!!
