Bag Lady

If you have a DSLR, chances are good that you like to take pictures. Therefore, I'm also guessing that you like to take your camera with you all over the place to take those pictures. And, you probably don't want to break that nice, expensive camera by just tossing it in with your keys, child's toys, snacks, etc.

You need a camera bag, my friend!

I have a thing for bags. I have been drooling over these for quite a while:


But instead of spending $150, I found this:

Super cute, right? Yes, it's a regular purse from Target, but you can buy (or if you're crafty, make) padding for the inside.

Here's the best part:

So even with the padding, it's way cheaper than one of those camera bags - and just as pretty, I think!

Target has purses on sale now - this one was half off - so even if you don't need a bag for your DSLR, maybe you need a new fall pocketbook? I'm just sayin'! :)

    I have been debating about making my own camera bag. I think you have convinced me :) What padding are you planning on putting inside?

    Short answer: I haven't decided yet! But there are some options on Ebay, Adorama, and Amazon.

    We have a surplus store called Smith & Edward's that carries ALL kinds of treasures. I found the most MARVELOUS canvas bag with the perfect size accessory pockets on either side for $14 and I love it more than my expensive camera back packs and bags! Just a surplus military canvas bag!!
    I DO LOVE a BARGAIN!!! ;D

    Found you through FMBT!

    I could potentially be sold on that idea.

    I love what you did with this bag! I need to go out and get some padding so I can do this on a purse I already have, but it seems like too much work, LOL.
