Has Spring Sprung?

I think it's too soon to think that spring has arrived....we've been having mild temperatures with rain...and sun!  The snow is melting fast....which is wonderful to see!  I'm certain our snow days are not behind us...but it's wonderful to know warmer days are ahead! 

Remember this handbag I came across and shared last week?

I popped back to the store & brought it home!!  Even though I disliked the chain links on the shoulder strap...I couldn't resist owning it!  The strap hooks on to the handbag....and can be removed.....so I thought I would use it without the shoulder strap....

Upon a closer look....I knew if anyone would have a solution....it would be Mr. Seventies!!  He was able to remove the chain part.....and I was able to hook it directly to the bag.....

Now I have a handbag I truly love sans the chain.....perfection!!

I was in need of a new leather wallet....mine had seen better days!  I struggled to find one in the stores that was what I was wanting....I'm not a fan of large wallets, handbags or cell phones!  This one, on Amazon was the perfect size!  It holds essential cards, cash and a zippered change compartment.  (the zipper on my old one was broken....coins continually falling out)....and it fits nicely in any of my bags....

And remember the overalls I purchased at Winners?   I purchased them in a size Large....confident they would be more than roomy.....

I was wrong!  And disappointed..... I opted to return them,  secure in the knowledge they came in XL!  Now purchasing anything in an XL, up until I lost weight.....would have sent me into a mini-depression and onto yet.....another weight loss regime!  I'm over it. 

I let that go!  As a rule....a Medium or Large works for me.....imagine my surprise when the overalls, in a size Large..... were too tight!!  When I went to exchange them.....not only had they been moved & dispersed in different areas in the store.....but XL sizes were gone!!!  (someone else has great taste)!

It disappointment me realizing I was not going to have them....until I asked a good friend on the mainland to check her stores there!   And she was able to secure them in an XL!!  And....she pointed out they are in a Junior size....not Regular size!  The receipt clearly shows the size as being a Junior XL.  Took the sting out of being too small!! 

She's going to pack them up & send them to me....via bus!  (much cheaper.....and quicker than Canada Post)!!!  She & I have done this numerous times.....

She's searching for a dachshund scarf (she is dachshund Mama to a herd of them).....and it sold out in her area.  I combed the store here.....and either they didn't come in or they sold out.  I will keep looking for her...and if I find one....it will be hers.  

I know Mr. Seventies is not up to a trip to the mainland....otherwise we could have made a day trip & met up with her.  But that is not happening until he is back to his old self.  

Thanks so much for being with me today.....I greatly appreciate the company!
