Whatever Wednesday - Purse Rescued

A few years back now, I bought this beautiful purse via Wish. I am in love with this one.

What a great disappointment it was when I turned the purse around and saw this.

The die from the handle transferred to the purse as there was no sheet of paper between the two as there was on the front. 

Needless to say, I turned to the Internet to find a solution, a way to remove the stain but to no avail. The company reimbursed the full amount as it was their issue. I was still left with no purse. Sigh! 

Forward a few years when I dusted the purse and start thinking about this over again.  

I still love it. This picture shows the true colours; black and ivory. It is so well made. I love that golden medallion with the heart and the black flower...  It's so pretty! ... 

But I wouldn't walk out of the house with that "face" on it. I feel like it's laughing at me. :^p   ...  

... black flower ... ... hearts ... ... 

What do I have to lose? 

It couldn't be worst, right? 

...

It's not like I'm gonna use it looking like that! 

...

So I got a permanent black marker and went to work. 

30 minutes later, 

I got this. 

Oh yes! I can walk down the street with this. No shame now! 

You can still see the mark if you look closely and know what to look for. 

I got myself a one-of-a-kind purse for the winter. Whoop Whoop! 

The best part is that it's free. Lol. 

Have a great day!
