Brighid - Did I hear you say an emergency flask? They are always handy

Alice - Bags seem to be a weakness for so many women and our bags all tell a story.

(I should learn to read over what I wrote before I submit it! By wearing it, I mean crossed across my shoulder so it won’t slip off. It will hold a camera, keys, a bit of money and an assortment of credit cards and insurance cards that could be needed, etc. ) leaving my hands completely free.

I see my purse habits reflected in several comments. I love good purses of all colors in very soft leather, please. Due to the fact that a few years ago I quit carrying one around habitually and consequently when I did carry one I’d forget it sometimes. Once in an airport lounge, once in a fast food place, you get the idea. So I decided to get something small–like Nancy described–that I could wear shopping and that way not worry about leaving it someplace. I still have several nice bags though, even though I don’t know when I’ll ever go someplace where a red purse won’t look out of place. I’ll let me survivors donate them to a worthy cause someday, by then they’re sure to be collector’s items.

GM: I have a few wild western ones that might be a bit of a pick-me-up. And one just might have a small emergency flask tucked in it. Let me know if your interested.

WWW - As I get older, I travel all the lighter. Pity I need the pills!

Helen - I seem to find the best bargains when I am not looking for them.

Baino - The only problem with the tan bag is that it is a large well with only a small inside zip pocket. Everything falls to the bottom.

Magpie - I do like good shoes, but am glad to have found Sketchers for casual wear.

Judy - I always loved patent leather bags and shoes.

Darlene - It is always difficult to give the bags away.

Brighid - Do you think we should have a bag swop?

Gail - You forgot to ask about the Mac, umbrella and the Bowler hat!

Handbags are wonderfully fun to collect, and I seem to get a great many given to me. But I always end up just using a few basic ones, so the rest are given to the charity second hand shop.

I have a shelf full of bags of different colors. Now I always carry the ’save your back’ bag no matter what I am wearing. I know I should give those others away, but I keep thinking I will use them someday.

My mom gave me some of her handbags and matching shoes. They were 20 plus years old. I like handbags as well. I’m trying to remember when shoes had those tiny nail heels. The tap was about the size of your little finger’s nail. I can’t believe we walked around in those shoes! She even gave me one of her patent leather bags. How often do you see patent leather bags?

As a male I have to confess to enjoying good shoes…. always buy the best you can afford. If I ever win the lottery I will have shoes made to measure!!!!! and new socks every day!

I also keep a good look out in the local antique emporia for good handbags for Lady Magpie…hats too!

Nancy…re para 3: what a girl you are… where do you put your house keys tho’?
