A few more photos of what is coming out this winter!  I can't wait for the Vera Vera bags in Cobalt and Magenta!  They are so gorgeous!  The large Venetian Paisley bag in the top photo is a new bag called the Laptop Carryall.  It has a nice size pocket on the front and I can't wait to see this one in person. The Canterberry Magenta item is a tablet envelope.

Restyled Vera Bradley Wristlet

Oh happy day! I received some PDF's of the new styles...I just need to take photos so that I can post them on the blog.  Didn't want to make you wait too long though, so I went ahead and took a photo of the newly restyled Wristlet! I hope to have all of the other photos up by the end of the week, so keep checking back for more! The new wristlet includes slots for cards.  The photo refuses to to upload right side up, so just tilt your head...or the computer screen.  Sorry about that!

Too much Vera?

This week has been one of those weeks where I have pondered if I do in fact own too much Vera. My place is pretty small and it seems like when I don’t have a place to put something it ends up on my dining room table and the busier I am, the most stuff it seems to collect. I walked in the door this week and as I made my way to the dining room table all I could see was the Vera that somehow had started to collect there. My Mod Floral Blue Tote, Cupcakes Pink Pleated Tote, Make Me Blush Charleston Tote, Seaside Port Tote and my Night Owl Wristlet were all at the table, most had taken over a chair. I looked at it all sitting there and wondered if I was really getting enough use out of all my bags. But I think that the fact that they were all out of the closet meant that they had recently been in my Vera rotation, so indeed I was getting use out of them. That only leads me to think of all the Vera in the closet. While I do have a lot of Vera, I do think that I do a pretty good job using it all. Lately my spending has slowed down and I haven’t really been adding that much to it. I still want a purse in Simply Violet, but I am in no rush. Maybe in the next round of retiring items I can pick something up.

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.
