Happy Saturday, peeps! I got up this morning not feeling great. I was thinking to myself, "Self, you are not so old that driving to Orlando a few times is going to beat you up. So get up and get out there!" So I obeyed myself, got dressed, and headed over to a yard sale at a local church (not the one I attend.) I managed to find a 5 gallon gas can for $1, several books for my kiddos to read...and THIS:
 |
| I found this under a pile of Dora backpacks and plastic handbags. |
 |
| Look at that beautiful pattern! |
 |
| Yes, my friends. Coco Chanel bag at a church yard sale in Deltona, Florida! |
 |
| I feel this is a real bag; the leather is supple, the stitching is top notch, and all the hardware matches. |
The tag on the purse said $4. I happily scooped it up, and continued shopping. Satisfied after about 30 minutes of browsing, I made my way over to the cashier. "Ohhhh!" She exclaimed. "I was wondering where this bag went. I knew someone had donated it, and then I didn't see it go on Thursday or Friday (
Sarah interjecting here...they were open Thursday and Friday?) and I was thinking it was stolen or something!" I said, "Yes, $4 is a great price for it!" And then she said, "Oh honey, today is 50% off. It's only $2!" Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit. I wasn't going to argue with her. So even though it is a bit scuffed on the bottom, I will carry it with pride and forever talk about finding a Chanel bag for $2. Yes, I will.
 |
| I've never owned a white bag before! |
 |
| This is what all the fuss was about. Scuffing on both parts of the bottom. Honestly, had I bought the bag brand new, it would have looked like this eventually. I am so hard on handbags; even worse than I am with shoes. |
What I wore:
 |
| This is actually an old picture from May 13. I wore this exact outfit again except without the hot cardi. I didn't take pictures today; I was starting to feel like I was coming down with something, so I forced myself to go to the yard sale, go grocery shopping, get fuel, that kind of thing. |
 |
| Oh, and this is the dress I wore on Thursday 6/21 when I was also too tired to take my picture. There, now we're all caught up on pictures! |
Want to know why I didn't take my picture today? Well, this is the one picture of me you will get:
 |
| Oooh, hello there, pink eye and massively swollen eyelid. Please go away. Soon. Oh, and I wore my sunglasses all day today so as not to scare the masses. It's not unusual here in Florida for people to wear them almost 24/7. Guess who is not going to church tomorrow? Poo. Can't infect the kiddies, you know. What a bummer...no baby Gigi for me tomorrow! |

Whoa! Did she not realize what she was selling?? $2?? That's amazing! ;)
Even I'm amazed by it! And she did know...she said specifically "Oh you got the Chanel bag!" I mean it was already ridiculously priced at $4, but to get it at half? Man I love the yard sales; the hunt is sooo exciting!
