thrifted :: huge dr. style bag

5_thursday

check out this bag! holy hannah, this bag is HUGE! i found it at a local garage sale a couple weeks ago. it had a price tag of $5 on it. i was hemming and hawing over whether to buy it. i loved it, but at the same time, i don't really have a need for it. i have tons of bags that i don't even use already. why did i need another one? the owner saw me debating and said i could take it home for $2.50! well, at that price, who can argue? i gladly tucked it under my arm and brought her home with me. now i just need to find a use!

in case you're wondering just how big this thing is, it's about 2 feet wide by a foot and a half tall. the base is at least 8" wide. this thing could fit a bus inside!

could make a sweet magazine holder... or weekend bag... or perhaps room decor a la Mary Poppins...

2.50... that's so fantastic!

Great find! I think it would be a perfect getaway bag for a few days in NYC. ;-)
