Last week my sister and niece were visiting from Connecticut. I was showing her my wish list on Wishpot. One of the items on the list was the Butler Bag:
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.butlerbag.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ID=97&amp;SCID=38" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv65/ANOTHERNEWSEASON/270x300BlackHybrid.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>

Isn't she pretty?  Do you see that perfectly organized interior! And such shiny leather... Oh well...

I knew that the Butler bag would stay on my wish list for a long time because it was so expensive at $165.00!

After the lengthly purse lust we decided to go shopping...So we headed to the outlets. My sister needed some shoes and a new bag... me, I was just along for the ride... or so I thought.

We went into the Bass Outlet to check out their shoes. After a while we wandered back to look at the purses and bags. My sister picked up a bag and opened up. "Donna, Look at this!" I glanced over and nearly tackled her to steal the bag from her. This bag's interior looked just like the <a href="http://www.butlerbag.com">Butler bag</a> that I have on my wish list (minus the fancy leather) AND... it was 50% off with an additional 50% off!!! The original price was $76.00 after the discount it was only $18.00!

I finally let go of the bag and let my sister have it (with much sadness)  I hunted around and found another one in red.

Here she is... my wannabe butler bag:

See the nice organized spaces inside!

This is the bag with all of my stuff inside (there is also a spot for my laptop which I love!)

This bag is a perfect friend for my <a href="http://anothernewseason.com/?p=854" target="_blank">Pouchee</a>! Who fits inside perfectly!

I'm so happy to finally have a bag that I can use as a diaperbag but it looks like a normal bag. I love that everything stays in place even when the bag is moved all around. No more fishing for my lip balm in the bottom of the bag!

Maybe if my sister doesn't like her black one she'll remember me... Are you reading this Jess??

I'm participating in I'm an Organizing Junkie's September Challenge : <a href="http://orgjunkie.com/2009/09/organizing-your-purse-round-up.html">Organize Your Purse</a>! Sorry there is no before picture... I got so wrapped up in the excitement of it all that I didn't take one!

<p class="note">For those moms out there, do you carry a diaper bag or a purse or both? </p>
