Goodwill Bargains, Including a Purse for the Wedding, and Teensy

I decided to stop at the Goodwill on my way past today to see if I could find a purse that would give me some clues as to how to put together the Blossoms bag.

I found nothing helpful in that regard, but lookie what I did find! -- a little clutch purse that is exactly the color -- a warm bronze -- of my suit and shoes for Victoria's wedding!  It looks like new; I don't think it was used much at all -- and it cost $2.50.

Then, as I was rummaging through the bin, I spotted a tag -- it was a brand-spankin'-new Bag Lady purse from mudpie.  I looked it up, and see that it's a $35 clutch.  It even still has the silica gel packet inside.  I paid $2.50 for it.

Here comes Teensy to see what I'm doing...

Cute hat for one of the grandsons -- 50¢.  Doesn't look like it was ever used.

And one of those soft, soft scarves -- $1.35.

Something rustling through the leaves has caught Teensy's attention...
