You Are What You Carry

Thereโ€™s something frustrating about spending a month searching for the perfect handbag, only to proudly wear it out of the house the first timeโ€ฆand run into four other people proudly wearing it out of the house. I really think there should be a rule against that.

Thereโ€™s something frustrating about spending a month searching for the perfect handbag, only to proudly wear it out of the house the first timeโ€ฆand run into four other people proudly wearing it out of the house. I really think there should be a rule against that.
If youโ€™re like me, and you feel a bit more "one of a kind" than the average mall-store purse would indicate, then consider the handmade bags from Montessori school teacher and accessories designer Melissa Johnson of Dear John.
Her purses are all made with 100% recycled fabrics and hardware, making your bag (you know, the one youโ€™re going to go buy right now) the only one of its kind out there.
With prices in just the $30-60 range, you wonโ€™t bust your wallet. Oooh, one-of-a-kind wallet. Now thereโ€™s a thoughtโ€ฆ -Kristen
