A hopeful wish for 2022...

...that I'll have some places to go in order to show off my new purses!

While cleaning out my closet in late 2021, I came across purses whose leather had started to "peel" or "chafe" or, I don't know what you call the deterioration: 'Cause when I bought all of them over 10 years ago, I bought cheap shit claiming to be leather.

What I had in my closet was: a black purse, a brown purse, a red purse, a white purse, etc. (All now in shit-shape.) I applaud my 10-years-ago poor self for at least TRYING. But I nonetheless put all of these purses in a box to take to whatever Goodwill dumpster.

This past week pre the New Year, I discovered Poshmark, and revisited eBay purse listings, and went hog-wild. No guarantee that I'll be going anywhere with these purses, but at least I'll be PREPARED to go somewhere.

p.s. RE the two Dooney & Bourke purses: Back in the '90s, I used to mock the trendy "Dooney & Bourke" brand. And, back then, I worked in an office with a girl named "Donna" and a girl named "Brenda" who were very much into such things. I nicknamed them "Donna Dooney" and "Brenda Bourke." Now, D&B aren't so trendy, but they just looked good when I was shopping for expensive bags in earth tones.

Other brand names for purses I just discovered: Patricia Nash and Anuschka. A whole other world! Below are the purses that I just bought in past week:
