Do you have a Petite Paddy hiding in your closet??

Oh my goodness! How did I never notice this before?? I own a Paddy bag! I thought that I had Little Betsy bags, but nope, one is a Petite Paddy. I had seen Paddy’s listed on ebay before, but never paid attention to them, until this weekend. My Pink Pansy bag is a Petite Paddy! They are so close to the Betsy’s! I always thought that it was weird that my Pink Pansy bag seemed wider at the top than my Katherine bag. Well not only is it wider at the top, it is a little taller and the straps wrap all the way down and under the bag, also the straps are a little thicker. It seems so obvious now! I bought them both on ebay at different times and they were listed at Little Betsy purses. I never really compared them before. Well now I know! I really can’t believe it! Sorry for all the exclamation points, haha.

Pink Pansy Petite Paddy. It looks lopsided, but it isnt. The top is wider than a Betsy, the zipper is plastic, the straps are thicker and they wrap around the bottom of the purse and it is a little taller.

Little Betsy is a rectangle, has thinner straps and the straps stop at the bottom.
Here is a picture so that you can see that the pink one is bigger. Crazy! I seriously have had these bags the longest, so I cant believe I am just now figuring this out.

Halloween Pictures - I was a Vera Bradley Purse!

Halloween this year was a lot of fun! I couldn't decide what to go as, so my friend Karen said, "You should go as a Vera Bradley bag!" Duh...why hadn't I thought of that?? So I headed to Joann's and found material that looks pretty close to Katherine. I was so excited. I found a simple pattern because I had only give my mom one weeks notice. She made me a super cute dress! It even had straps/handles! I LOVE my Halloween costume! It was a big hit at the parties that I went to this weekend.

Me and my Little Betsy in Katherine!

Side shot so you could see the purse straps.

Nick strangling, I mean carrying, the purse.

I wasn't the only one at the party with a Vera Bradley bag! Check out this Medallion On the Go. She is candy corn!

Here is one group picture from Friday night.

I hope that you all had an amazing Halloween.

Today is my Dad's birthday, so I want to give him a shout out today. Happy Birthday Dad!!

Decluttering - Continued...Finally Selling Some of my Vera Bradley Bags

Alright! Decluttering time! I finally feel like I have time to mail these out if people buy them and I found boxes to ship them. All of the bags below are for sale and the price includes shipping…which is whatever shipping method is the cheapest. If you want insurance or it to have confirmation, then you might have to pay extra. Whatever I don’t sell in the next few days will be listed on craigslist or ebay. Email me at ohmyvera@gmail.com if you wan to purchase anything. If there are multiple people who want the same thing then who ever I got an email from first gets first grabs at it. I am only taking payments through paypal. If you have any questions just let me know.

I already have them in boxes, so I don’t really want to take more pictures, but if you ask really nice and are sincerely interested I might take a few for you.

Backsack Petal Pink NWT $30

Paprika Bucket Tote $30 EEEUC Only used once. I have the tag for it.

Pink Pansy Tote GUC Purchased on ebay when I was naïve about Vera Bradley bags. Bag as soiled handles and the bottom corners are worn. It didn’t come with a baseboard, but Vera Bradley sent me a new one that I put in it. $25

SOLD - All in One Raspberry Fizz EUC $25 You can kind of see a little wear on the corners. They aren’t fraying, but it looks like a couple corners probably rubbed on my dark wash jeans or picked up a little dirt from sitting on a bar. Nothing too noticeable, but if you are picky then you should know what you are getting. I bought this because I think that it has PERFECT pattern placement. Check out that paisley!

There were a few other bags in my decluttering pile. I gave my Mom the Windsor Navy Hipster I just purchased along with a Simply Violet Trip Kit and my Patchwork Envelop. So I would say that decluttering when pretty well! I am proud of myself!

Side note: apparently decluttering isn’t a word…but that is fine with me, I am going to use it anyways

Happy Shopping!

Pink Pansy, best eBay find ever!

As I said before Pansies are Tri Delta’s flower. Every once and a while I would look on eBay for Tri Delta stuff or for stuff related to our symbols. I would search for pansy stuff in particular and I would come across Vera Bradley Pink Pansy purses. One day I decided to bid on one and from there it snowballed. I bought a Little Betsy, Bitty Betsy, Tote, XL Duffle, Garment Bag, Coin Purse, Wristlet and Jewelry Case. And then I bought my sister Erin a Bitty Betsy, which somehow ended up in a garage sale box. I reclaimed the purse, hopefully someday I will have a daughter or niece and she can use it! How cute will we be with our matching purses?!

Pink Pansy is the perfect pattern for me! It is pink, which I love and it has pansies, which I love! Pink Pansy retired before I started buying Vera Bradley stuff, so all of my items came from eBay. I wish I had started buying the pattern before it retired, although I can’t imagine how many pieces I would have if that were the case!

Vera Bradley also make the same pattern with the pansies, but in yellow and blue instead of pink and it was called Katherine. I also bought a Little Betsy in that pattern, but lets face it. I am pale and have a hard time pulling off yellow.
