...a purple Dooney and Bourke purse ,still in good shape,that they would like to sell...cheap.Dh's DD wants one (purple is her favorite color)and since this is going to be such a special Christmas,we would like to surprise her with one.But we can't afford to pay for a new one,so I was hopeing someone might have one for sale.I have a small collection of them that I have picked up at yardsales,or thrift stores,but none are purple.I checked e-bay,but there isn't any purple ones.

Does she want Dooney and Bourke only? I have bought my girls Alan Stuart purses and have had their initials put on them both for like 25.00 and they love them! I just got one for myself too. Mine got the PTT72 in pink with green initials.

Actually, I'd never heard of it either. I just did a search on froogle.com and that was one of the listings it came up with! I love ebay, but they didn't have what you were looking for...

BUMP BUMP BUMP...We got the purple D&b from ioffer for $25 +$5 shipping ! I called her mom and asked if Mary Elizabeth wanted a specific purse or did it matter just as long as it was a purple ? And,guess what?!?! The one that we got was EXACTLY THE ONE THAT SHE'S BEEN WANTING !!!!It has the initials D and B embroidered all over it.Ladies,thank all of you for helping,and thank you Cybermommy for finding it for us.Now,if I can just keep DH from getting too excited and telling her before Christmas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So glad it worked out! I know how exciting it is when you've got *the* gift that they want - AND how hard it is to WAIT once you have it ;)
