This black coach wristlet (which is actually missing it's wrist strap which is why I think it was at The Salvation Army) can be used as a clutch OR used as a make-up bag, a bag inside your purse to organize your hand sanitizer and aspirin.....whatever! All I know is it's Coach and it was $3.80! A STEAL! My friend Jen was hating on me (she looked at it BUT looked past it...I don't think she realized it was a Coach). The moral of the story is, don't overlook ANYTHING at the thrift stores! Speaking of thrift stores, I know its not for everyone BUT I personally LOVE the "thrill of the hunt"....treasures abound!
I haven't been to many garage sales this year....So one Friday Paola and I decided to go garage sale-ing and we were SO disappointed! Lots of sales - all crap-ola! We did make one last stop and I KNEW this sale was going to be a good one (the street name was so cute BUT it escapes me now). As we pulled up there was an old push mower, lots of vintage goodies...I was so excited to get out.....BUT when I got out, the prices were a lil on the high side for me (I am VERY thrifty). I saw an old typewriter I LOVED, but wasn't willing to spend $10.00.....so I left. As I was getting ready to drive away Paola said "you know you are going to regret this, go offer them $7.00" I said "nope, I will offer them $5.00". Lo and behold, they accepted my offer! Wahoo! (there really is a point to this story) SO, as I was paying the very nice lady, I found this....
Black leather, vintage Coach purse.....I was thinking I can only imagine how much this must be....I looked at the price.....
People it was $1.00!!! YES!! Can you believe it?!?!! $1.00!!! So, the moral of the story here is that I was meant to go back and get the typewriter so I could ALSO get the purse! Thanks Paola!!
Funny, the other day I went to Old Navy and spotted these.....
Similar in style to my Coach BUT $22.94 (if anyone is interested). SO looks like I made a good buy as the style seems to be perfect for fall! I plan to wear my Coach this way....
For trips downtown, the zoo, etc. Those days when I need a smaller bag and want to be hands free!

I love thrifty finds! I'm huge into garage sales, auctions and junk I find on the side of the road.
I'm still trying to figure out the linky thing myself, but here's my $12.50 living room makeover if your interested.
