Beauty Tips for Ministers
Because you're in the public eye, and God knows you need to look good.
I ADORE The Bag, and Bless Your Heart!!!
April 16, 2008 on 3:16 pm | In Accessories |It came in a box today.
I have been expecting a Skinceuticals purchase or some Snapfish photos so when I saw the large, light box methought, “What’s this?” I opened it and squealed with joy, because some generous and lovely human being had sent me the beautiful Pacific Design computer bag I had added, and then forgotten about, to my Amazon Wish List some time ago.
I have been hunting for the perfect laptop bag for some time and although I purchased a wonderful vegetarian briefcase as a Christmas gift for myself by Mat & Nat, and it does hold my laptop, it’s not really wide enough to carry anything else, it isn’t padded, and it’s got a long shoulder strap that doesn’t give the best support to carrying a computer. I am happy to have it and use it a lot, but it hasn’t really met my need for a good computer carrying case.
Well, mercy me. I’m in BAG HEAVEN. I found a PERFECT Giani Bernini mustard-colored handbag for 60% off at Macy’s two weekends ago (I’m very particular about bags — and I had been searching for exactly these dimensions, this color and this design at this price for years) and now this wonderful anonymous gift from one of my pigeons! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it — 727 posts into this blog, it just warms the cockles of my heart to know that ya’ll are out there getting something from my little typing paws.
And speaking of paws, I need a manicure in the worst way. But I want to get into the garden this Friday so that will have to wait.

So, are you just going to tease us with brand names, or are you going to let us know the names of the bag itself? I did a quick search and there’s multiple bags with these brand names… and my own search continues!
Out of curiosity, how BIG are these? I did find a Mobile Edge Ultra Tote (for a steal off ebay) and while it’s pretty nifty, it’s too big for every day. I’m looking for a little smaller- so how do you feel about size? I can’t quite tell if that is a chair in the background…

Perhaps the Pacific Design people should give you a commission - I was so impressed by the photo that I went to their website and found a perfect laptop bag for myself (mocha floral instead of green, but I love it). Thanks!

Ooooh, that bag makes me want to run around carrying my laptop with me, just so I have a reason to acquire its green loveliness.
My husband says I have a purse problem. We each gave up huge amounts of stuff to move into our RV, but I still have a secret stash of purses. Even ones with the tags still on them, never used. My precioussssssses… [I am totally cackling in recognition on this one! Dr. Freud would have a field day with my love affair with bags and shoes.- PB]

Dear sweet PB, you got online and added a bunch of items to your wish list right after this gift arrived, didn’t you? Of course you did. Who wouldn’t? [Yes, I did, Al, because I finally got through to Amazon.com to figure out how to edit my wish list, which was saved under an old e-mail address and which included many items I either have or no longer want/need. I use that wish list as a shopping list for myself when I earn an Amazon.com gift certificate from using my Chase Amazon visa. After I received my beautiful bag I thought ‘Ohmygosh, I wonder what else is on there!!??” - PB]
Fear not, PB. God loves you, and so do we. And we do appreciate your work. It is a gift to us, a matter of grace, and this gift to you is also a matter of grace.
Grace just happens, sometimes. Enjoy!

Just came across your website while searching for other people using the name “RevMama” (which I am planning to call myself in this book I’m writing). And I LOVE this bog. And you (in a totally straight shopping-friend kinda way). And I am now having bag lust. Also, I would like to be a “juicy-grace” person. Nice to know you are out there….I am forwarding this to my girl-rev peeps.
