It was in April at the Taste of St. Croix - held at the Divi Carina and mobbed with people. I tried to catch up with the woman who was rocking it - with DH in tow I wove in and out of the crowd trying to keep the woman in site while not bumping into the tables of food and wine in my path. I would almost catch up with her and then a bunch of folks would get in our way and I would lose her again. But I had a goal, had a quest, pushed on, dragging a protesting DH. Weaving around the pool a couple in a hurry really got in my way and wouldn't yield - you guessed it - into the pool I went! When I came up for air I begged with DH to keep on after her - after all of this I would not lose info on that bag! (BTW, I think I'm the reason that pictures of this event show yellow crime scene tape ringing the pool - it seems that went up after I got out.) So, wonderful DH races on and chases her all the way down the road to her car where he tried to talk to her but she turned on him and tried to whack him with the coveted handbag thinking he was some mad stalker. Well, he was mad, by that time: "Lady, if you are going to ruin that bag by hitting me with it I'll just buy it from you now and we can all call it a day!" Unfortunately, she would not sell it but did disclose that she bought it on STT - except she could nor remember where - had indulged in a few Painkillers during her shopping spree. So, all for nothing, except that once I dried out we had a great time at the Taste of STX. Was on STT in May but couldn't find the right shop. I still want that bag... - Margy I actually saw one of these purses for the first time on STX. It was in April at the Taste of St. Croix - held at the Divi Carina and mobbed with people.

I don't have a purse, but we do have one still on the front of our truck. I don't think that wins me anything, but what a cool idea they have! I have a friend who makes purses out of cigar boxes and she is going to make me one out of a Cuban cigar box that I bought on STT. Maybe you could have an auction and donate the money to an STJ charity? Sorry, it is the holidays and that is all I can think about right now. I am sure you will be creative. I will be on island in January and will see if any are left. Happy Holidays everyone! We still have our personalized license plates from STT with the pic of Magens on it.

I just found this site the other day while looking out the window at work with my turtleneck sweater and having been forced by mother nature to wear socks and shoes, dreaming of my March trip to St. John. (Trip #5 and counting). I love the videos you all put on. I can't believe how much things have changed! Someone kiss the ground for me there. I'm waiting to bury my feet in her warm sand.
