After an EXTREMELY long day of trying to craft (getting ready for Saturday's show) with small children under foot...I got a little surprise package! My dear, sweet, thoughtful sister had her big ol' box of Vera sent to my house. And in that big ol' box were two happies for ME. She knows that I have been drooling over that backpack for a long time, but with a price tag of $90, it was never to be mine. Well, she called me last week and told me to go to VB's site. In the sale section all the retiring colors are anywhere from 30 - 70% off. WHAT? So, to make a short story long...she ordered me a lovely Vera Bradley backpack in Peacock. And lovely it is! But, the real icing on the cake is that adorable clutch in the picture above. See it? Right there at the top? I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her! She goes perfectly with my giant aqua handbag. What could be more lovely than that?
The inside is almost as pretty as the outside.
Not one section, but 2! Look at all those pockets and card slots. I love my little clutch!
And last, but not least...there she is in all her glory. My backpack. I can't wait to load her up and take her out for a night on the town. Or maybe an afternoon at church. This will be a perfect church bag! Especially when I have my initials monogrammed in chocolate brown front and center!
I can't wait!!!
Thanks Beth...I love you!

Oooh, Yummy! That is totally cute! You deserve it.
ReplyDeleteMan, I can totally relate to your crafting woes in regards to the kidlets. Would you believe I had the Cricut Expression delivered to my door more than a week ago and I have not even plugged it in. Plus my goodies for my latest craft which I have been D-I-Eing to make are still in the package on my counter. Now I'm sad. But happy for you and your new bag!
Hey girl! I am totally feeling the crafting with kids thing, because all of my crafting is with my 2 right there helping.
ReplyDeleteAbout those new bags, be still my heart! I love Vera and need a new spring bag. I will be following that link now. Your sister must be as sweet as you to send a gift like that!
i'm so happy for you!! that backpack would be perfect to fit all your little snacks for your craft show too:) don't forget to pack the snacks!
ReplyDeletethe clutch is gorgeous and i'm sure she'll be very happy serving you!
You have an awesome sister!!!
ReplyDeleteHow nice!! I'm on my way to check it out!
ReplyDeleteYAY! I have envied VB bags for a while. I just have a hard time spending $ on bags....
ReplyDeleteSo thanks for the tip. I just ordered two of my own with birthday $!!!!
Your sister rocks!!!
ReplyDeleteI had not been introduced to Vera before. I went through her site and am seeing things that I am loving BIG TIME!
Your sister sounds as great as mine! :) Love that pattern. I am not going to click on that link b/c I don't want to get myself into trouble!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness!! I LOVE that Peacock pattern - - lots of great goodies on sale. I'm thinking about grabbing either the Bowler or the Lola purse. I'm a little partial to the Bowler, but more fond of Lola's price tag! HA!
ReplyDeleteGood luck w/ your show!
Ooooh, so nice!! And what a sweet thing for your sister to do for you!

What a sweet sister you have!! That was so nice of her to get you the clutch & backpack. I think that backpack is going to look even better with your initials on it!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great evening, Nicole
love the clutch! i have a handbag in that print... wishing for the clutch now too:)
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT..my daughter has some Vera Bradley, she loves it.
ReplyDeleteSanta brought her about 4 pieces, so Mrs.Santa can't afford any for her self LOL. Good luck on your show. Post some pictures of your booth.
OOoh, lucky you! LOVE the backpack. Can I be your sister's sister?
ReplyDeleteI love Vera. The backpack is awesome, I have it in pink elephant. I have had it for a while and nursing school has beaten the crap out of it and it is still fabulous! BTW, sisters rock!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that backpack! What a great sister you have!
ReplyDeleteI'm eagerly anticipating an update after Saturday's craft fair!!!

What would we do without our sisters? I know that I would be lost without mine, not to mention have really ugly hair!!! Or, heaven forbid-have the same hair color for longer than two months!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the clutch! I love love love it!!! I need one-I might just have to go and take a looksey! GOod luck this weekend! You are going to totally sell out of everything and if by some chance you have a few things left, you are going to list them on your new ETSY shop!!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, cya around bloggerville.
ReplyDeleteHi! Love the backpack. It's a great bag. What a great sister!
ReplyDeleteOh my! What a beautiful gift and to have it monogrammed will just add such charm! I never thought about doing that ... I need to see if I have any bags that will qualify! :o)
ReplyDeleteSincerely ~ Tricia Anne
I blame you!!! I have never even looked on her site before-until yesterday. I loved it all. It was hard to pick-Cause you know, I need another purse like a hole in the head. So-I thouhgt, why not be like my best blogging friend and get a clutch. So-we are now twins. I figure since we don't live next door to each other-it would be ok. I am still open to that you know. There is a super cute house for sale across the street from me.
ReplyDeleteI foegot to mention your question-June eh? Love love to get together. Just let me know.
Thanks for the link-can't wait to get my clutch!!!
So lucky!
ReplyDeleteSo lucky!
