I seldom find anything inside of it in a hurry - and often look at it dimly when the mobile phone goes off, because I know I will lose the battle:) I am a tragedy, and would hate anyone to search it, because the territory is dangerous.

Then again, I've never had my leniency abused. I don't remember my son ever reaching in uninvited, but he had no problem delving deep if there was something within that he or I needed. Himself wont put a fingernail in my bag, even if I've asked him to! So weird. I have no idea what he thinks he will find there, but he clearly thinks I'm far more exciting/dangerous than I really am.<br /><br />Thanks for another great read here!Tangled Messhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532843036944799138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525848878710274126.post-2773916236913193802011-10-23T04:29:54.167+01:002011-10-23T04:29:54.167+01:00My mom taught me that lesson early in life-- never...My mom taught me that lesson early in life-- never put your hand in someone else's handbag. If I wanted a piece of gum or a pen and started reaching into hers, she'd say crossly, "No, give it to me, I'll get it." Of course I've always done the same with my kids. And nothing annoys me more than seeing my husband digging around in there messing up my neatly organized compartments. I just changed everything over today to a new handbag, I was ready for a change.Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153821980625034810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525848878710274126.post-71462381783919665022011-10-22T21:22:51.751+01:002011-10-22T21:22:51.751+01:00:)) Great blog Barbara & cause.

I make bad handbag decisions in emotional crises, the last being when I resigned from my own company (Chesneau bag, way too big). My favourite bag ever was a vintage Mappin & Webb bag (HRH territory for sure) bought at Greenwich market circa 1989. Got the strap replaced by the maker, who by then had a stall in Covent Garden. Accidentally broke a sample bottle of Paloma Picasso Mon Parfum (ah! the sweet smell of the '80s) into it, and all my cheques smelt GORGEOUS for months after. I will admit to lusting sinfully after a Gucci green python bag, but as it cost the same as a 5-year-old used saloon car, ownership remained in the realms of fantasy. Though I always wondered, in the Celtic Tiger years, when I earned good money, how the HELL people could fork out for the stuff I regularly saw swinging from the arms of (younger) women.

My newest has a long strap to hang across my body and it's big enough to hold what I need...which then makes it too heavy.
