Bagging Books and Elephants

Bags: All from Amazon except for the seashell, which is from Zulily

Ella Elephant Charm Necklace

Today was a good day to dig in the vault and unearth two old pictures.  I chose these because they're of some of my favorite things: quirky bags, books, and (my!) jewelry.  It doesn't seem like much -- or maybe it does, given that this is just a fraction of my rainbow collection -- but it makes me happy.  And that counts for a lot!  

So here's to all the things that make you happy.  Even if, to someone else, they're a white elephant or the elephant in the room.  Because there's no shame in having a trunk or twenty. 

Whether we show it or not, we've all got baggage.

Such beautiful treasures you have! Indeed! Such a great bookcase of loved books too which is always great to see! You are so creative and have such wonderful and adorable bags too. Such a beautiful post! I love the titles! Surprisingly, I have elephant pants and elephant leggings! Also an elephant-striped tunic too. Of course, I haven't worn them all at once. (✿◡‿◡) Thanks for your comments. Oh, sometimes it's a struggle to even find that open window for something to happen. Hopefully, this is a good opportunity for Sammie & Gabe.

I've always thought you have THE best collection of bags, ever!!! They look so cool clustered together on the pink chair. And, that hot pink and purple sweatshirt you're wearing is adorable!! So is your necklace. You definitely can tell how happy you are with your rainbow collection, and that's exactly what your post is all about; surrounding ourselves with things that make us happy is what makes us glow. You certainly do! πŸ’–πŸ’œπŸ’—
