The postman just rang my doorbell! I'm so excited because it was the "school" bag that I purchased at Canton. I was excited to receive the bag for three reasons. First, I had it monogrammed, so I was excited to see what it looked like. Second, it came in the nick of time, as tonight is my last night of classes for the Spring Semester. Lastly, I was very happy I hadn't been ripped off!
That last one probably needs a little explanation... I made two separate purchases at this one particular booth at Canton. Early on in the day, I purchased a wedding gift that was being personalized on the spot. Later I went back and bought my bag. I didn't think much about paying for the bag and having the lady ship it to me because this is a regular vendor that has been in the same spot for the 4+ years I've been going to Canton. Then when I went back to pick up the personalized wedding present, the Texas Comptroller was busting in on the place. A Texas Comptroller rep was demanding to see the owner. She was told the owner wasn't on site and she demanded someone get the owner on the phone because it seemed the owner never returned calls. I couldn't hear what went on from there, but there were some demands for money, etc. (probably unpaid sales taxes). At this point, I got very nervous that this lady was going to take my money and never send me the bag (and she doesn't take credit card, so I knew disputing the charge wouldn't be an option).
Here is the long awaited bag:
