I most excited about the wallets available from Noon to 3 o'clock. I've been wanting a smaller Vera Bradley wallet, but everytime I go to get one I end up with another big one! Last time I got a Petal Wallet in Very Berry Paisley and the time before I left with a Clutch Wallet in Pink Cupcakes. Can you tell I like pink? I have bags to match both too:) I love both; they were great choices with plenty of slots for all your cards and change. It's just that on occassion I do carry smaller bags and need something else. I can't go because ER has preschool and we're busy tonight, but my mother-in-law is going and I hope she can snag a Mini Zip Wallet for me.
I've been meaning to share that it pays to stalk on Twitter and Facebook Vera Bradley has all sorts of fun giveaways and surprises for it's fans. I won a Be Colorful giveaway on Twitter and got this cute t-shirt from them.

I'd model it for you, but my favorite handbag company must be encouraging me to stick with doctor's orders, as they sent me a small! I think the last time I was a small, I was in fifth grade. So until my elliptical trainer and I are "like this" (insert fingers crossed) and I'm a few sizes smaller it'll have to serve as inspiration to lose several pounds.

But they did (insert squeals of happiness) send us not one but TWO of the Clip Zip ID in Very Berry Paisley - can anyone guess one of my two favorite patterns by now? One was for me and one was for ER because I mentioned we like to get mommy and me versions of Vera Bradley things. ER really likes hers, I put a picture in the ID holder and she carries lip gloss in it. I tried to get it for the photo, but apparently, I'm not allowed to borrow her Vera! LOL!The new holiday collection is out and I really REALLY want a watch and travel pill case in Baroque and an ornament in Very Berry Paisley on my wish list. I'd also love an apron set in Baroque as well as knit hat & scarf also in either Baroque or Hello Daliah Lining.

I don't really bake and I've got winter gear so I can't really justify those, other than I just want them! I'm thinking about getting ER a Knotty and Nice Headband in Twirly Birds Navy. I've just got to see it in person to see if it's adjustable or if I can pin it to fit her. There are so many fun things, and I haven't even discussed their bags!
