She spent 4 (non-contiguous) days driving 400+ miles, all over New Hampshire, Southern Maine and northern seacoast Massachusetts, before finally & luckily she found one -- in the checkout 'aisle' of a "Marshalls".
From Tik-Tok she knew they were only available in Marshalls & 'T.J. Maxx' (which are, of course, related). She did it all using GPS -- which to I is scary. But, it works & works well for her.
She started off hitting 'all' the Marshalls & T.J. Maxxs in New Hampshire. I kept on telling her she needed to go south -- not north. Eventually she ran out of stores in N.H. She then started hitting the border towns in Maine. That didn't pan out either.
So finally she ventured in Mass. She doesn't like driving in Mass! She had seen somebody in Mass find one. She messaged them. They sent her the name of the town. She went. Couldn't find it ... but saw one (just a solitary) one as she was walking out. Appears somebody left it in the checkout aisle! Wow.
She was delighted. We were delighted. I had offered to drive down to Boston to look! NO. NO! She is NOT spoilt. Definitely not.
While looking for this mushroom one (& she likes mushroom motifs) she found another one -- albeit with bows. She wasn't going to keep that. But I convinced her to. So she now has two bags -- one with bows, the other with mushrooms.
Today she, the artist, is FURTHER embellishing the bags by sewing on things! They will be works of art when she is finished.
