Vera Bradley birthday goodness
By TheAngelForever | December 10, 2010
As I sit and type this, my birthday has almost come and gone. I was afraid to wake up Thursday morning and face the day because of what happened last year on my birthday. I even wrote about it with my cake request. Thankfully, it was a very nice day. I will write more about it later on.
Most years, I have a hard time knowing what I would like for my birthday. This year, I knew I needed a camera. TechyDad took care of that for my birthday, along with part from my parents. When my mother questioned me a while back, I mentioned that I thought I would like a Vera Bradley purse. I fell in love with Vera Bradley when I was teaching. Many of my students had bags that they used from various collections. One year, I even received my own Vera Bradley pencil case. I use it to hold my MP3 player since it is the perfect size.
I was not really sure which one that I wanted. We went and looked around a few times. After one stop, I knew just the style and pattern that I liked. My mother eventually went back to the store and got the exact one that I mentioned that day.
Isn’t she pretty? I know it’s kind of bold and funky, but I love her. Here is a closer look at my Villager in Symphony in Hue.
So my question to you is inspired by my first ever Vera Bradley bag:
Do you like Vera Bradley and/or have any items? Please share, I would love to know which type and patterns.

Wait…was it your birthday yesterday too? It was mine as well! WooHoo! Happy Birthday!
Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday – it’s always tough when we’re so close to Christmas. Your hubby and parents did a great job!
I don’t have any Vera Bradley…maybe I need to add it to my Christmas list.

Happy Birthday wishes to you!
I love Vera Bradley! I usually buy one or two new Vera bags every year. The Villager is one of my favorites. I also have a big Vera Bradley duffel bag that my Mom gave me earlier this year.

Happy Belated Birthday!
I am not familiar with Vera Bradley until I was gifted with a Vera Bradley bag last year. I like it so much.

Happy birthday!
I have a Vera Bradley diaper bag that I got for review about a year ago in a blue paisley pattern. I also really love their black overnight travel bag – so classic and chic!

Funny you should mention Vera. I visited an outlet store a few days ago and bought a bunch of gifts for people.
Have a great Friday!

I won a VB once and it sat there for a year before I used it. I just didn’t get it. But now that I’m using it I find it’s cute and light. I guess it just took me awhile to give up my mommywagonbag.
Yes it’s HUGE bag.
Those designs are so cute. I love the last one!

Well I think you know what my answer will be! I am so glad you got the bag you wanted, happy belated birthday! I love all the colors in that pattern and it’s nice how it’s bound to match everything. Enjoy
