I found my fish purse!  For some random reason, on my way out the door yesterday I picked up a handbag that I haven't used for months, and noticed that it was unexpectedly heavy.  From it's depths I pulled out my fish coin purse, stuffed full of change.  That made me very happy.  It was one of my favorite 'vintage' finds ever, because I dug it out of the bottom of a box of rather unattractive ladybug change purses.  Even the saleswoman was surprised to see it, because there were only a few fish in the box to start with, and she thought they'd all been sold days before.  Is it not the cutest thing?

And then today, on my way to uni I decided to stop by my favorite thrift store and have a quick look for a jacket, since I have nothing that's suitable for the in-between-y weather we're having now, where it's usually chilly in the morning and at night, but warm during the day.  This isn't perfect - it'll be much too warm to wear to wear during the day, but it isn't too bulky, and it was only five dollars.  I'm happy with that. 

The bag was not a find, it was a gift from Ro, who's just come back from a trip to Cambodia.  Isn't it gorgeous?  It's cleverly put together, too - there's a hidden pocket in both the front and the back, so it has three big sections instead of just the one you'd expect to find in a simple bag like this.  The straps tie at the top, so the length is adjustable, too.  It's miles better than the tatty shoulder bag I've been dragging around for the past year.  

If I can just extend this run of luck to finding a decent pair of sandals that don't cost a small fortune (shoes are so expensive here), I'll be all set for spring.
