While I was out Thrifting...


I found an authentic Dooney&Bourke bag (looks like this) in our apartment building's free-thriftstore last night! 

I'm guessing not many of the ladies there knew it was name-brand or else it would've been snatched up sooner. 

Sadly, the strap is broken on one side (but hey, it was free!)--not the leather though, its just missing one of the metal hooks that connects the long strap to the bag. I've got it rigged up right now with a metal hook I found in my jewelry-making-kit, so you really would only notice that the original hook is missing if you were looking for it. 

I'm still trying to decide if I should keep it or try to sell it--I don't think I could get much for it, with the missing hook on that side, AND I do really like the classic look of it...
