I think that this darling strawberry wicker purse deserves a photo shoot in a field full of plump, sweet, red sun-ripe strawberries. However, not having access to said field, I went for the next best thing ~ man-made monument of concrete, steel, and sunny yellow paint…
(~￣▽￣)~
However ~ youguysIfinallygotmyhandsontheCollectifStrawberryWickerPurse!!
Excuse me if I seem over excited, but it really is a bit of saga of how I wound up with it in my hot little hands. I actually spotted the strawberry when it first came out with the Collectif summer line months ago and went “Oh, I love it! Must start saving!” But when I had the money, it had sold out…
And then it sold out again ~ before I even knew it was back in stock! And when it happened for a third time, and I was all “Argh, I’m never going to get this bag!” (*´Д`)ﾊｧﾊｧ
I was literally stalking it on the website, refreshing the page multiple times a day when *ping!* ~ it was suddenly back in stock… But of course by then, I’d accidentally~without~meaning~to spent the money I’d saved up for it on a new vintage frock. *cough*… As you do. Right?? (¬ ᴗ ¬)
Of course I couldn’t miss out on it again, so an emergency call to my Mum happened, and I set the post to send the strawberry to my parent’s house so that she could wrap it up and give it to me for my birthday. As you do. Naturally.
Wait, what? You don’t do that??
Haha! It’s okay, I’m know I’m a little bit crazy, but really, it was worth it! I mean, just look at how cute it is! Loookit!!
And to further prove my craziness, I thought I’d steal a leaf from all the pineapple-on-their-heads people {trust me, this is actually a thing ~ I promise I’m not making it up!} and plop my perfect strawberry dream purse on my head. Because I can.
Gee, now that I’m officially 30, I guess the crazy isn’t going away anytime soon…
( ^ _ ^)∠☆
You wouldn’t want it to anyway, right? Right???
Just a question though ~ have you ever gone to extraordinary, or just plan crazy, lengths to get you hands on your perfect piece of ~ insert vintage/clothing/accessories/shoes in here ~ before?
I think the Strawberry Wicker Purse Saga is probably my wackiest tale ~ though I’m sure there’s a few more if I think about it… The Story of a Dress was one, but maybe I’ll save the rest for another time!
xox,
