Nailin - I bought a travel steamer and started using the daylights out of it, because of Lucy using her steamer. I went for a more portable option and I love it! Mine's by Conair and I got it at K-Mart

Thanks Captain! I wanted other people's thoughts as I don't want to waste my money on something that isn't going to work - Do you know any other details for the one you have other than it's a Conair? - Are you on facebook? - Nailin'

There's the steamer I have. I would have gotten the awesome one that has the rod for hanging, but again, I got this one for portability.

i have had a mishap. i have this leather purse i bought a few years back from a wagon at TRF.
yesterday i was at sherwood forest faire, which had horrible weather. too make a long story short i was carrying hot chocolate and the wind caused it to spill onto my purse.
not sure what i can use to clean it, or maybe just wipe it off?

If it's smooth leather, then yes just wipe it off with a towel and clean water!
So what are you doing this weekend?
I'm going to BARF!!!
You're going to...wait...WHAT???

I stained my leather skirt last year.  I took it to a leather cleaner (dry cleaning place) and they did a wonderful job!
From what he explained to me it's clean all or nothing and you risk changing the color when you do.  But mine came out perfect. 
It was worth the $15!  I don't know if that helps.  Good luck.
