As you look at this picture of my favorite purse, you are probably hoping this purse has seen better days, and you would be right. At the time, I was dating someone who loved to attend plays and musicals at our downtown auditorium and I took advantage of these dates because I loved to dress up. I had a beautiful lace dress and wanted to accessorize it with the perfect shoes, purse and wrap.
I found this purse at Neiman Marcus and knew this purse would look fabulous with my dress. When I bought the purse, I almost choked at the cost, but I had to own it. Nowadays the cost doesn’t seem like much but at the time it was a fortune. Sadly, the dress suffered a dry cleaner mishap and is long gone, but I’ll never part with this purse. It’s still my favorite though it sits in a box in my closet.

Answer these questions:
Red, White or Blue? I love everything white, especially weddings. When summer comes, I’m happy to pull out all my white outfits.
Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter? I love summer. There’s so much to do outdoors and I love being outside, even if it’s working in the garden or taking a walk. I am planning my summer vacation the day after Christmas.
Chocolate pudding, cake, pie? If it’s chocolate, I’m not that particular, though I have to admit I love a chocolate cake with rich creamy chocolate frosting.
Coffee, Tea, Champagne? If it’s Starbuck’s macchiato or Frappuccino, then I’d have to say coffee, but I love a cup of tea on a cold winter’s day.
Country music or Michael Buble? I hadn’t heard of Michael Buble so I looked him up and I’d have say I enjoyed listening to his music. I love easy jazz.
Pencil or Pen? If it has a thick tip, I’m not particular, but pen does look better on paper. Blue pen looks wonderful.
