Thanks Chow! Miss all of you guys on the thrifting thread, but now that the kids are in school, I'll be back. I have to pop over and report on my Goodwill Outlet adventure - 16 lbs of goodies. No Coach though.
Good for you! It's never too late to learn to knit. I find crocheting to be more fun though. Last winter, I knitted a ton of scarves but no one uses them in California! I also have piles of afghans!
She came out great! This is the same bag I got for my daughter.It's official! My first rehab is done, and I think it turned out great. Of course, I picked an easy one to get my feet wet.This was the one I picked up for my daughter to use at school - only $4! Here's her before - she was a little dirty and had a couple of big spots.
I scrubbed her with some Dawn and a sponge and hung her to dry. Then I put a little Leather CPR on the leather parts and gave her a buff. She cleaned up very well!
Ladies, I wanted to thank you all so very much for your inspiration! It wouldn't have been possible without you! On to the next one!
And a P.S. for whateve - my green geometric came today - she's gorgeous!
I can't watch TV without doing something else at the same time. That's one of the reasons I knit or crochet too. I also work on crossword puzzles and sudoku. Otherwise I'll snack.
Hey everyone - quick question. I have two bags that I think I really don't need to dunk. They are like new except the Hadley feels a bit dry. Should I put a few coats of Leather CPR on them and then something to protect them? I just don't want them to get really shiny. I've read all of the suggestions in this thread a few times, I think I'm just really looking for permission, ha ha! Thanks!!
I know how you feel. I'm always afraid to mess with perfection. Sometimes the conditioner will make marks appear that you didn't even know were there. I would use Leather CPR. I don't think anything else is necessary.Hey everyone - quick question. I have two bags that I think I really don't need to dunk. They are like new except the Hadley feels a bit dry.

I'm really surprised the non-acetone nail polish remover worked. It must not be acrylic because I've never been able to clean that off. I'm not sure about shoe polish - I don't think I've ever had to deal with that, but other people have had a lot of trouble removing it. The nail polish remover shouldn't damage the leather. I'm glad this is working out so well for you.
Thanks Whateve. I'll buy a large bottle for next weekend and take my time with it. If I can get all of the polish or whatever it is off with that should I then give her a bath?
