I bought this new purse a couple of weeks ago with my birthday money. I've wanted an Orla Kiely purse for a long time, but haven't been able to justify the kind of money they sell for. But this one, which may not look particularly special in that pic, is perfect for me. It covers all of my purse storage needs (!) and was half price! Score.
But whilst I do love it sooo very much and whilst I do want to share my love with you, that's not why I'm posting about it. The actual reason is that I have been a really bad neice and grandaughter and haven't thanked my Aunt or Nana for the money that allowed me to buy something that I've wanted for so long.
And I know that blogging a thank you is pretty slack, but at least it's a start!
So thank you Gillie and Nana! I really love my new purse! xx
congrats on buying yourself some orla kiely. i love her stuff. nobody here in nashville tn knows what it is so i can often find it at half to 75% off if i wait long enough! it's just the waiting... but i think anyone who loves textiles and graphics can enjoy and appreciate a little bit (or alot) of orla kiely!

That is a beauty. I always loved it when I got money for my birthday, and then could buy what I really wanted.
