Obsession Confession

Confession Obsession


My obsession is...handbags. I really, really love 'em. Clutch, tote, shoulder bag, carry-all, backpack. And it isn't the very expensive ones either. I have bought one for as little as three dollars. I like distinctive. Here's a photo:


about 2/3 of what's on the shelves-hehehe


The word handbag works better for me. The old-fashioned term purses, a drawstring bag men and women used to keep their valuables in, never appealed to me.


But why bags? Some people collect shoes. My feet are small--really. Size seven, narrow. And, that's a hard size to find.


Handbags don't really have the same kind of size issues.

Winter Blues

Winter is not my favorite time of the year. I like cold weather for the holidays, and then, pack it up and head on out. Bring on the glories of spring! Warm weather, shorts, flip flops, t-shirt.


But that ain't happenin' for a while
