Things I get in the mail (bag lady edition)

I'm not one of those "multiple purse" people. I'm too lazy to move all my shit from one purse to another every day, so I just get one that works for almost everything and then use it until it falls apart. My last one was kind of beyond that point; it was literally hemorraghing pennies money. So, I hopped on etsy and found this from Krishna Arts:

Pretty, right? And twenty bucks. Score.

I also found these canvas totes from Dead Worry:

They don't have flat bottoms so they don't work that well for groceries, but they're great for a book bag or throwing a few things together to hand to your sitter or something.

Plus, I just like the looks people give you when you drag out a bag with an Octo-Owl on it.

Isn't this fun, kids?!

Octo Owl is made of win.

[Kristen]

I bow to the awesomeness that is you and your bags.

[Michele]

I need to start shopping etsy more.

[Brandy]

i love etsy!

[kyooty]

My kids would totally love for me to have that bag vs the leather (fake of course) that I drag around. LOL

[Captain Dumbass]

Would Octo-Owl fly or swim? I think flying would be more terrifying.

[Everyday Goddess]

I am sure there is a deep sea Octo-Owl in existence. That's why I don't snorkel or scuba.

Cool buys!!

[Jenni]

That Octo-owl bag kills and Oscar would go crazy for the robots.

Love your new bag too. Tres chic.

[Lauren]

I love robots. And octo-owl. Your selections were mighty fine.

[Frau]

I'm more of a shoe whore...no real commitment to a purse....like the price!

[mo.stoneskin]

Multi-purse, multi-handbag behavior which most women exhibit stresses me out. Glad you don't condone it. That makes me feel much better about the world.

[Mrsbear]

I love bags. They're so much more fun to buy than clothes. Fitting room fluorescents don't accentuate the cellulite in canvas.

[Frogs in my formula]

Pre-Mother's Day shopping spree?

[Beta Dad]

My wife has the hugest collection of tote bags from conferences, and yet she still buys more. I don't see what's wrong with a simple black tote emblazoned with the Pfizer logo. I use the red Cialis one all the time.

[Ms. Salti]

I can sooo see you getting addicted to bags now.

[Organic Motherhood with Cool W]

Must get Octo-Owl bag immediately. I feel as if my life depends on it.

[cristin]

that octo-owl is creeptastic in the best way. i would totally get that.

[lizgizzy]

I love purses, but don't like moving my junk around either. I invest in one and love it to death.

I love the octo-owl.

[anymommy]

I bow to your shopping prowess. Although, the owl-topus kind of freaks me out a little.

[Big Mama Cass]

HAHAHA! I love the octo-owl!! Awesome!

[Laufa]

I bet "Steenky Bee" would love that first purse. So cute. Octo-owl, interesting.

[Casey]

That owl is trippy. I like them all but I'm not a purse girl.
