While rummaging through these people's trash, I find a treasure. A hot pink purse. A purse you would love to have because it may be the perfect purse for a random-only-wear-once-and-actually-have-the-guts-to-carry-a-hot-pink-purse-outfit. But, this purse would need to be super cheap so your husband doesn't remember the cash that was forked over on a purse that was only wore once because it was the perfect purse to go with a random outfit and on a day that I actually had the guts to carry a hot pink purse.
So, I muster up my my best bargaining skills and push Tom over to the garage-sale manager to ask how much. The response? $1. SOLD! I ask Tom for the dollar, he doesn't have any change. Nor do I. So I check the car - nothing. Nothing besides the two sticky pennies in the glove box. I begin to accept the reality that this treasure will not be mine.
Then, a random woman passes by and sees me desperately digging through the trunk. She asks "Did you buy that purse?" I said no, couldn't find a dollar. She immediately opens her stylish purse and hands me a loonie. "I love purses too."

That's awesome! See, there are still nice people out there!
That's hilarious! And awesome. Obviously she knows how important the right purse can be!!
This is when color coordinating accessorizing (so) is acceptable and affordable...nice!
:) Is there a picture to go along with that great story?
I wish I had my camera on me at that moment to take a pic with the lady (I'm such a blogger), but I do have a shot of my pretty pink accessory, which I am now actually using as a camera case (doesn't look like a case for an awesome camera as much as the other case does, it is less likly that I will forget a blazing pink bag, no one would ever be enticed to steal a blazing pink bag, and I could easily spot someone taking off with my blazing pink bag. Not to mention it's water proof.)
And, as I'm sure you've noticed, I added a picture of generosity.
I think that your new camera must be very happy to have such a stylish home. But it begs the question, just how big is that purse anyway? and... I didn't think that soft kid leather was waterproof! What a deal for $1!
perfect, you pilfered a pink purse, that's powerful.
Phat!
