~Handbag
Monday~
If it's Monday, its #handbag Monday. Today, I welcome a TRUE writing friend, Marilyn Baxter. Let's take a peek at her special bag:
This is my first Coach purse. Even on clearance and with a % off coupon, it is the most I’ve ever paid for a purse. But I love it! I joked that given its value I should probably will it to my oldest granddaughter. And then I decided it would be a great way to display my ashes after I’m dead and gone. The purse, a vase of lovely flowers and my photo. Yes? Expensive as the purse was, it was still cheaper than the cremation urns I’ve looked at. I think it would make for a classy funeral. Don’t you?
I said that I love the purse and here’s why. Aside from its gorgeous color, it meets my “purse specifications.” Mine are pretty basic: inside zipper pocket, inside pocket for my cell phone, roomy interior and an outside pocket for my car keys. This one meets them all. It actually has 3 outside pockets – one on the side away from the camera and one on each end.
Do you have purse specifications? Let’s compare notes.
Blurb for TEA FOR TWO:
Take one tea shop-owning divorcee, add a new-to-town attorney and two meddling grandmothers and the result is a romantic brew that will make everyone's dreams come true.

Thank you, Marilyn, for being with me today!

Your book sounds like a fun read. I use to not like purses, but now I do. Love the color of your new one.
Love the sound of your book, Tea for Two. I love matchmaking stories and have written several myself. Also love the idea of using your coach bag as an URN. HA!! Now that's classy.
That's a pretty color. I loved what you said about it being your urn. Now you have me thinking about urns in a new way! :) Might just decide to spring for that wonderful purse just for that reason! lol...
Hi, Judy! Thank you for visiting with Marilyn today. Hopefully, we have made you a handbag convert. Come back soon!
Hi, Sylvia! Marilyn really helped me develop my short story technique. Love her.
Hi, Melissa! Isn't the urn part hilarious. And gives me a great idea.... lol
Great handbag. I must still be in denial about my own mortality as I can't reconcile a great purse with my remains :) I enjoy all I have while I can, don't dwell on what comes after the fat lady has sung.
"Tea for Two" sound interesting.
Sounds like a great book!

I l-o-v-e that handbag!!!
Hello all! I've been a bit under the weather today and just now getting online.
Judy, thanks for visiting!
Sylvia, I thought having a Coach urn was very classy. And it should be the talk of the funeral circuit for a while. I don't plan on clocking out for MANY years, but you can never be too prepared. ;-)
Melissa, when I saw that purse I knew it was for me because of the color. I'm a big fan of purple. Surprisingly it goes with just about everything and I get a lot of comments about the color.
Hi Vicki! Thanks for having me!
Rayne, totally understandable. Honestly, I think a serious car accident a few years ago made me begin to think about mortality. As I said above, I plan to live for many more years.
Lani, it IS a great book. LOL!
Angela, I l-o-v-e it too!
