Good Old Vera!

Recently I went to the Vera Bradley outlet store.  VB sent me a $20 gift card for my birthday!  They are such a nice company.  Anyway, I did not want to spend a lot more than $20.00 because I have been buying stash like a banshee and I really need to stop spending money, BUT, one does not let $20 in Vera money go to waste!

So, I was looking at the lower priced items with an eye towards using them for some kind of stitching purpose. Pictured above is the 17" laptop case.  They have a 15" one too.  At the VB outlet these are in the $25-$30 range.  So, I bought the 17" size in Twirly Bird Pink and I am going to use it as a project bag!!!  Won't it be just divine to travel with my project in such a nifty container???  So, if you have every Vera bag you want and you just have to spend more money there......here is a great idea!!!!

I love all things Vera!! The Vera Outlets have such great deals. I also received my $20 gift certificate on my birthday last year and used to buy the Saddle Bag. Enjoy your new laptop case/project bag!

Great idea. I would not have thought about using it as a project bag. I will have to look at this with the one I bought for our netbook.

See you soon.
