The trigger has been pulled and I cannot wait to get this throwback caboodles, lay out all my make-up on the carpet and organize it inside this radness. Ideally, it will arrive on a Friday night when I am home alone and my make-up organization process can take up to six peaceful hours, just like 1987.
It's their 25th anniversary "My First Love" edition. I couldn't be happier about these colors and the fact that they are not being shy that this is manufactured by Plano, the fishing tackle box company.

Caboodles was the first thing I ever won in my life. I was really young. It arrived from UPS and my Mom was fucking pissed and thought I bought it somehow.

About a year ago, I was jogging in my dad's neighborhood and someone was having a yard sale. They didn't have anything I was remotely interested in except they were using a gorgeous vintage caboodles for their cash box and the bitches wouldn't sell it to me.
My little sister had that very same purple and green Caboodle. I think I had a solid pink one that went to college with me.
ReplyDeleteI donʻt know if Iʻve ever commented here before, so... Hi! I have the second one in all pink. Itʻs sitting next to my bed right now, full of sewing stuff!
ReplyDeleteYou are one lucky lady!
DeleteI couldn't afford the Caboodles, but I still have my giant purple Sassaby, which also holds my sewing stuff!
ReplyDeleteOh, I loved my Caboodle. I think I got it for Christmas one year. Headed to the link above now to see about ordering one and having it waiting for me in Texas when I get home next month!!
