I wanted a colorful bag for fall, and found this one from Talbots, in one of my favorite "haunts." The store is actually a thrift store, whose proceeds go to one of the local children's hospitals. What I'm finding is that, some of the local boutiques and stores are donating end of the season and clearance items, which can be purchased at a fraction of the retail price. This beautiful, pebble grain leather bag caught my eye as soon as I saw it in the case....it's brand spanking new and only cost $25. They add new items each week, and I'll certainly stop in to see what else I might find!
