Good on you re the bag JulieO. I love a nice handbag.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Me too, I have an "addiction" to Coach handbags and have several in my collection.  From time to time I pass one along to my daughter but have had some for many years.  I still have the first one I bought - in 1974 - and it still looks good.  It has gone back to Coach once for a new brass "foot" on the bottom and to have the leather glazed on the outside to remove some scratches. 

The only one I often carry that is not a Coach is a bright blue Fossil.  The color makes it easy to find if I put it down someplace.

Handbag and wallets were my weakness when i was in my teens, i was a collector for many years
I only have kept a few, i have one bag that in 1976 i paid $495.00
After that it was cook books, and then it was pots and pans, now it’s anything to do with baking
i don't need a recipe i'm italian

Maddy I saw those pie dishes in Target a while back, they are really nice 😃

I've found I don't bake as much these days just being the 2 of us at home now, so it was easy to resist buying the tin today thank goodness. 😄

I have several handbags that have held up beautifully for three decades or more.  The few times I have purchased "bargain" items, they seldom lasted more than a couple of years.  Pro-rating the cost, the expensive ones have turned out to be real bargains. 
Not to mention that some have become more valuable over time - one Coach bag that was discontinued several years ago is now bringing three times the original price on one of the online sites that sells vintage handbags.

Oh dear, it looks like I need a trip to Target, i am sure ds needs new socks, LOL, and then by accident I stumble across other things that just seem to fall into my basket & then at checkout I am too busy helping a lady with her heavy shopping & oh dear they are now in my kitchen. Mmmmm sounds like a great plan ;D
