It started off as a pretty rough morning, complete with my falling up the stairs from the Subway.  The instant my butt and knees smacked the concrete, I thought to myself "Today is the day I am getting a Rachel Nasvik bag!", and that is exactly what I did.

Handbag designer Rachel Nasvik has been hiding handbags across the city for over a week via Twitter.  Last Wednesday, I ran out of my office three blocks to McNally's bookstore, where I was 10 minutes too late to snag this bag.  On Saturday, bags were placed right outside my office, yet I was at my home in Brooklyn. My want for the elusive bags was palpable - I was determined to snag one.

Bless the girls in the office - they put up with more whining and pouting than I have produced in a long time.  I saw a tweet clueing us into a bag drop on Bond St.  I thought my last chance for a bag was gone.  Twitter Search brought me good fortune and @RachelNasvik alluded to a bag drop in Soho - could I be so lucky?

Once again, Twitter Search was my guardian angel, alerting me to a new Tweet from @RachelNasvik.  Right.outside.my.office - 8 bags up for grabs!  Dashing out of the office, with a little help from a few friends, I am now the proud owner of a Rachel Nasvik bag.  Each bag is numbered, and although my bag wasn't filled with goodies, my bag could be the key to a Phoebe by Rachel Nasvik. My bag is numbered lucky 57.  Watch @RachelNasvik tomorrow to see if I am a lucky winner, and follow the Thrill of the Chase blogl
