Fun with Purses

For my birthday Shari and Robyn got my a gift certificate to 1154 Lill which is a store that you can build custom purses. Last night we went down there to create the purse! We had tons of fun picking out fabrics and putting them together to build the perfect purse. I swear I was in purse heaven and it was so hard to narrow things down to the final purse (shown above). I really think I could have designed at 3-4 more purses from all the different fabrics I liked.
Unfortunately it will take until Aug 18th to get the purse so it is being shipped to the new house. So I promised to take and send photos of it when it arrives. I also promised to bring when I return to the Boston area for Shari's wedding in October. I seriously can't wait to get the purse. I feel quite inspired to open my own create your custom purse shop some day.

Well after designing and purchasing the awesome purse we heading over to The Upper Crust for some delicious pizza and of course more girl talk! We topped the evening off with ice cream from J.P. Licks in Davis square. I got some excellent cookie dough ice cream. I forgot how much I love cookie dough. It really might be my next food kick.....of course that might not be ideal for my waist line. It is a good thing that Edy's make a double churned light with the dough!

I will of course post some more picture of the PURSE when it comes! I'm so excited!!!

In search of a new purse!

It is time for a new purse. It has been time for some time now, but I can't find one I like. I have approximately 20ish purse already but I'm sick of them all. I just really want a new one. I've looked and looked and looked and haven't found the perfect one. While we were in Puerto Rico I scoured all the shops in Old San Juan but with no luck. Apparently I'm too picky.

I found a few possibilities in Macy's the other day...but I wasn't sure about a Kelly green purse. My brother-in-law said it would look good with the right outfit, but I don't tend to match my purses with my outfits. I mean if it is really going to clash I will use a different purse but otherwise....

I also looked at some lesport sac bags...but I wasn't in love with any of the patterns. I keep thinking about the green purse so perhaps I will go back and get it.

What do you guys think about a green purse (I mean a fairly green like grass green)? It was a nine west purse but I haven't had any luck finding it online.

Also any thoughts on borrowing purses...there are websites where you can borrow purse for a monthly fee. What do you think? I feel like that might help my purse fetish but I"m not sure if it would be worth the monthly cost.

Man I really want a new purse...I think about it all the time...not sure if that is healthy!!!
