What is Your Most Unique/Rare Vera Bradley Item?

Thank you to OhMyVera reader Sparky who sent me this cute photo of the Vera Bradley bear she has in French Blue. The bear is using a Holiday 95 bag and a Chanticleer mini Paddy bag.  All rare and unique Vera Bradley items, so that made me wonder what other rare or unique items everyone has.  

I have a Laurel small bag that I dont ever see anyone else carrying, and I dont even know what the style is called.  It has a long braided strap so that it can be worm crossbody or on your shoulder.  Comment below and share your unique Vera Bradley item!

You might have too much Vera if...

You have used so many bags this week and are too busy to put them away and they stack up outside your closet.

Although taking this picture inspired me to finally put them away.

Today's Post - Take 2

Grr. I had written my whole post but while I was writing it my internet connection was lost. (How does that even happen?! I have internet through my cable company, so frustrating) So when I hit the button to post today's blog it took me to the page to tell me I wasn’t connected and my post was lost. What a bummer! So lets try this again.

Yesterday it was a lot of fun to carry my Chanticleer bag! One woman absolutely loved it! I was kind of shocked. She said that she had made a pillow with chickens and ribbons on it for her friend who just graduated. So we bonded over chickens and roosters. AND she was the same age as me!

I am considering keeping track of how many days I can go without purchasing anything Vera Bradley. Maybe it will keep me from searching craigslist and ebay for good finds. So I bought the Chanticleer bag on Sunday and we will count today. 2 days, no Vera.

Chanticleer!

Soooo, I had a fun find on craigslist on Friday! I found a listing for a Vera Bradley Rooster bag. I thought no way! So I clicked on the link and sure enough it was a Chanticleer Petite Villager! I was so excited, so I emailed the woman who made the post to see if the bag was still available. She called a few hours later to let me know it was available, so I said I would take it! The only problem was that it was in Fallbrook, which is about an hour away from where I work. Yesterday I got off work at 2:00pm and my only plan that night was to go to my parents house for dinner, so I just took a small detour to pick up the purse.

She listed it as like new, but it does have a small spot that is worn at the end of the zipper, no big deal though. She probably washed it once or twice, but other than that it is in great condition!

I am so excited about this bag! When I got to my parents house my Mom told me that I didn’t need another bag and that I should stop buying them unless I sell one. My sister saw it and thought that it was amazing. My dad didn’t believe me when I said it had roosters and eggs on it, he said no, it must be chickens. Nope, roosters. I also told my mom that now I feel like a real collector because I have a Chanticleer bag. Then she asked me when I started calling myself a collector. Well I guess once you have over 100 you can call yourself a collector, right?

The petite villager is a little on the small side, but I am going to give it a try today and see how it goes. My coworkers are going to think that I am crazy.

Haha, got this picture and message from Missy today! Looks like it might be a Villager, hard for me to tell. The print is Chanticleer, you don't see this one very often!
