Oh Happy Day

Okay....I can hardly contain myself, so I must get right to the point.....

OMG.....Remember those amazing suitcases I went gaga over on Facebook....like drooling and panting.....WELL.....The Lenster and I stopped by the mall today after the kids Purim party (more on that in a sec) and, after taking in a movie ('Shutter Island'...don't bother...awful) wandered into the Surrey Luggage store.

They just so happened to be moving to a new mall location and were having a

h-u-m-o-n-g-o-u-s  sale.....

who knew...I didn't plan it.....I swear...it was B'Sheret (that's Hebrew for fated...meant to be).....

There they were....the gorgeous Britto Collection suitcases...only 2 left....on clearance sale

The Lenster worked with the sales guy for an even more super price. He wheeled...he dealed.

he wheeled and dealed them right outta the store !

I LOVE THE LENSTER....he knows me !!! and let me tell you...he got the deal of the century because they needed to get rid of all their inventory. OH HAPPY DAY

I can be so materialistic....and proud of it !!!

I have luggage envy. Been looking for new bags and these fit the bill. So of course I did an internet search and didn't find them on sale anywhere. Better save for awhile and keep an eye open for the sale. Love yours and the butterflies as well.

Cotton candy! Hmmm

[barbara stovall]

Bright suitcases! What a fabulous find! Great job on getting the price down too!

You'll never have to search for your suitcases at the airport! They're fabulous.
Just finished baking a hundred hamantaschen - yes, a day late, but my parents and adult children won't mind!
Loved your wig.

[Maiju]

Beautiful bags. Great color bags.

What a joy those cases are - you will spot them easily on the turntable.

And what a joy to see such a wonderful family day at your Temple.

Oh you lucky lucky girl. Enjoy those suitcases. I would be terrified to see them leave my side in case some airline damaged them! Your faith so family orientated which is wonderful.

Way to go Suze & Lenny, what fantastic suitcases & bargaining, definitely fated!!! Will you use them in June when you visit the UK? I'm bettin' yes.....

The party looked great fun especially the cotton candy. Not had any of that in so many years but can remember the texture very well; thank you for the Purim recipe will try it out when i can.

Thank you for sharing, loving the words you are teaching but need to write them down so i don't forget..... :-) Paula
