A Mom update and a possible bag lady......

This is a photo of my cute mom a while back, she was modeling a group of hats that I had gotten from ebay. She had her hip replacement surgery on Wednesday and although the hip part of the surgery went well, she has had a rough go of the rest of it! Today she is finally doing pretty well, handling the pain meds and in better spirits. This is her 3rd replacement, one regular replacement and then she dislocated that hip 4 times and they finally had to replace it again but this is the worst by far. The docs seem to attribute alot of her problems to the 10 years difference in age.
I am just happy to finally have her out of ICU and seeing a little of the old girl back again! Her friend of 50 years stopped by to visit her and brought her a lakers jersey, mug and stickers...do you think she might like the lakers a bit? She was thrilled!
Now on to my regular blogging.....
I think I need to brace myself that I might become a bag lady in my old age!!!
I'll let you be the judge.... Now keep in mind, these were not purchased to replace grocery bags....no, no! I have a bazillian of those too!
These are just some of my favorite bags and I realized I had alot after laundering a couple and thought I would share them with you....
This first little buttoned beauty, I bought from a darling brazillian bombshell at her garage sale...she said she brought it from home but never used it....I use it all the time...

Then there are a couple of my barkcloth purses...the bigger a market bag, both made by a friend who moved to Vegas....I miss her and her barkcloth talents!

And then there are my Asian bag-purchased for $2 at a thrift store brand new and my much-used mexican market bag ( I didn't even take the stuff out of this one to show you!)

Oh and some more barkcloth beauties....the one on the left was purchase at a thrift store for $1 and I use the one on the right for my lunch...

Do you ever find a really good deal on something in a thrift store or garage sale and find yourself holding on to it like someone might steal it??? I remember doing that with the yellow bag....

I don't know if I should warn hubby or just ease him into it as life goes on...but it is a worry I say...... At least I will be a colorful bag lady!

Hope you are having a great start to your summer! I will be back again when I can... hang in there with me friends! karen.....
