Vera Bradley Bonanza
(Katherine Betsy)
Ooh…Vera Bradley bags…they have hooked me in with the great combination of colors, styles, and I love how pattern presentation is different on many bags. Lately, I’ve been liking them too much! I’ve been watching eBay and grabbed a few bargains, which I love, but it’s feeding a growing obsession!

I’m digging some of the blues and browns: Java Blue, Caffe Latte, Windsor Nnavy , Kensington, Blue Rhapsody
And loving me some yellow Katherine — and so many other patterns.

Everyone has their favorites, but I guess for me it’s a combination of how the pattern looks on a certain piece.
Anyway, how did this obsession start? I was always into a buttery, soft leather bag….how, oh how could a quilted bag woo me?
I was surfing on a message board one day and someone posted some pics…and they hooked me in. The funny thing is – I all ready had two Vera accessories, as they sell them at a few of the Hallmarks around here. Little did I know this would start a crazy search for the perfect color combination and pattern placement quest on the perfect piece for me!

I think I’m good for now, but my mind is all ready thinking…hmmm, this would look great in this color too!
It’s time to jump off this Vera merry-go-round, and know that there are only so many days in a year! 
A girl can only have so many bags…ah…Yeah right! I didn’t believe myself either.

Here are a few of the fun patterns. There are so many more to choose from. There’s a message board that started up recently with photos and reviews – so if you’re looking for pictures of certain patterns or colors…or trying to decide if a hipster or mini hipster is for you, you may want to check it out. It’s just starting, so as more people add things it will grow. Right now – the owner of the board all ready has quite a few things up, and a few others have added in pics and reviews. Hopefully this will become a great source of information. I love how there are not only pics of outside, but INSIDE the bags so you can see how many pockets the bags have, the inside designs, and the size comparison…pics of things in the bag and out, so you can figure it out. The pics shown above are mine, but the board is not…though I’m adding a couple reviews as I get new things to help out too.
It’s here: Vera Bradley Pictures and Reviews (board is called: Vera Bradley Resources)
If you’re a Vera fan, maybe you can check out some pics and add some reviews of your own. I know it would be welcomed with excitement, and hopefully the community will continue to grow.
