I am think maybe I will make a bag or a skirt because this fabric is too cool to have it sit on my fabric shelves.

Yup, I went on a duck tour of Philly. I got my quaker, saw the sights and got this key chain to remember the trip.

Weekend Bags

I took nearly 20 bags on my weekend trip to Doylestown, PA. I had a bag for my jewelry, two for my make up, another for my camera. How many can you find in this photo?

Speaking of Target

Check out this lovely purchase from Target. I know it is not a bag but it is an accessory.

As we know one of the favorite shopping cries of fat chicks anywhere is give us bold accessories especially bags, necklaces and scarfs.

The Best Street Find EVER

As my friend Hy said "Be happy for small miracles"

I have been looking for a new chair for a little while. This one is so much more than what I would have been able to purchase or imagine. Thank you universe and more importantly the girl on North 9th Street who was getting rid of all things orange because that was her ex-boyfriend favorite color.

Obama O-Eight Oh Yeah

I hope y'all are watching his speech at the Democratic Convention tonight!

Yesterday was a very good day for sidewalk thirfting. I got this awesome picnic set after claiming an amazing orange mid-century lounge chair. I will share a photo with you on Friday.

Tomorrow, I have a special treat in honor of Obama's acceptance speech at the convention.

Yesterday was the Last Pool Party

And TOPSHOP showed a little love to us.

P.S. I didn't win the Dior clutch. I would like to find one at thrift store, maybe this fall.

This is What I am Bidding On

I hope I win! I will let you know tomorrow.

Vogue Bag

Look at the September Vogue with its own fashionable carrying case! Simply wonderful...How do I get one?

A Jumble of Beads

Well, actually it is all the jewelry I brought on a trip to San Francisco.

I told you SF has been on my mind. This is the longest period of time without a trip out there.

Cat in a Bag

Miss Kitty is still alive! And every so often she shows her love like today. How could I not love Kitty when we have the same taste in bags?

Wallet from San Francisco

I have been thinking of San Francisco a lot these days. I purchased this wallet years ago on a trip there.

Just in Case

Super cute! I can't wait to use it. You know, I will carry it just in case ;)

Thanks JD.

Poop Bags

Today I will highlight the plastic bag that is recycled as a poop bag.

Every three or four months, I run out of plastic bags for Miss VALENCIA. I can't explain it but some how I get down to one bag. I use it and then just coast by with getting a bag just in time for the next walk or her next deposit . It goes on like that for a few days. Then suddenly I am back with an abundance of bags because of a trip to the market or such.

I know I am not the only dog owner this happens to. It seems it should happen more often.

A Nice Approach to Taking Nature with Ya

Spotted on Franklin Street in Greenpoint.

If I was ever to leave Williamsburg, it would be for a place in Greenpoint or San Francisco.

I HEART Stoop Sales

Got this yesterday at a lovely stoop sale in Greenpoint.

No Bag Sunday

I love bicycle baskets with plastic flowers.

A Great Day for a Picnic

Olympic Tribute

I got this bag back in June and have been holding it till today.
