*Handbag Monday*
When I saw this bag, I had to have it. Doesn't it resemble a coat?
It doesn't hold a ton of extras, but is perfect for the Sunday outfit.
The body is like a wool felt, an acrylic collar around the edge. Two buttons to resemble the double-breasted look. And it does zip completely shut.
I wonder if my sissie still has the pink one I bought her??? Hmmm. Must ask.
Some of you may have read I wrote "Holiday Handbag Extravaganza" specifically to feature a handbag. It's true. I love all things Enid Collins. So I crafted my story with hers in mind--a box bag with a stenciled holly sprig.
Here's a tease:
"Hi." He leaned in.
"My sister had set aside a special handbag for my mother for
Christmas."
"I
remember, ah, Jillian--"
"Jillian
Treadaway Foster."
"That's
right." I selected a pencil from the pencil can and wrote down the name on
a sticky note to help me remember even though I didn't need to. "She
selected a vintage Rebecca Martin holiday box bag decorated with a sprig of
holly."
He
whipped out his wallet and removed a credit card. "Great. I'll buy it
now."
I
shook my head. " 'fraid not, sir."
His
eyes narrowed. "I'm not following..."
"I
sold it, just yesterday."

That bag is cute and, yes, it does look like a coat! Loved the story, too! Very cute and funny! I love that I can relate to your characters because they are flawed...and real. Keep writing!!
Hi, Cathy! I like to think most ordinary people have problems. We don't have to be super SWAT or SEAL to have a good story. Thank you so much for liking it. I'll keep on keeping on.
Bag is adorable...I would use it more as a decoration than a handbag.
LOL, Angela! It is a cute one.
