I just recently spent $400 on a new camera.
The camera did not come with a bag & it needs a bag. I'm sure we'd all agree that you don't just toss a $400 camera on the seat of your car and go.
You put it in a camera bag first, then toss it on the seat.
The bag should have various pockets inside and out for holding cords and other lenses. It should be sturdy & well padded. And it should be cute. A $15 pleathor bag from Wal Mart will not do, unless you are very crafty and can make a slipcover to go over it.
So off to Etsy I went in search of a cute camera bag of the right size. I was a bit startled by the prices but after looking at bags in Wal Mart and thinking about just how I would sew fabric to it and how long it would actually take and how much fabric I would go through before I was finished because me & scissors do not get along & I'd be sure to botch the cutting at least once, I decided that while I can't spend $90 on a bag, $60 was reasonable.
I explained this to DH. This is where he came through as a man in a million.
It would have been entirely reasonable for him to go into the bedroom closet and say "You need to buy a WHAT?" while looking at the dozens of tote bags, purses, backpacks, briefcases and insulated cooler packs on the closet shelves. I have a bit of a *thing* for things to put things in. I have many many things to put things in. I have a half dozen straight up backpacks, each with different pocket configurations. I have 4 very nice leather briefcase bags, most of which can hold a laptop, but that doesn't stop me from owning 2 laptop bags as well. I have about 8 sturdy canvas totes, 5 insulated cooler packs in various sizes, a huge beach bag, a picnic basket and more purses that I am willing to admit to. (I will admit 90% of them were purchased when I was childfree and employed)
So, exclamations about how if there is one thing I really do NOT need, it is another bag, would be justified from him.
But no.
He says "You should get the right bag for the task honey, just nothing too floral in case I need to carry it sometime."
Isn't he the best?
