Handbag and Book welcomes author Suzanne Baginskie - Do you have a million purses?

 Author Suzanne Baginskie tells her tale about the treasured handbag she discovered on the shores at a Caribbean Cruise stop.

About the Handbag:

This handbag brings back pleasant memories of our 50th wedding anniversary cruise. We sailed the western Caribbean and shopped in the country of Belize. I first saw this purse sitting high on a shelf in a crowded booth. I pointed it out to my husband. His remark was, “You have a million purses.” I’ve known for years my two vices were handbags, and shoes. Thus, my walk-in closet is filled with both. But I couldn’t help myself. I’ve always adored the color blue, something about it sings to my soul. I’m crazy about the ocean too. This bag’s brilliant, electric-blue flowered embroidery. outlined in a shade of ivory white was simply unique. I was smitten.

The shopkeeper took it down and presented it to me for a closer look. Each side has the same beautiful design. The bag looked about ten inches wide and opened to a four inch spread. There were two separate zippered compartments for safety and the twin black handles featured fancy brown beads. I knew it would be a smaller sized travel bag, and I needed something that could hold my wallet, passport, phone, and sunglasses. It also looked dressy enough to use in the evening. I had to have it.

I turned and saw another woman staring at me, she wanted to see the purse next. I pressed it against my chest, my heart racing and I heard my husband tell the man, “We’ll take it.” He paid for the purse, and said, “Happy 50^th Anniversary, again.” My heart pinged, forever grateful. Since then, I’m constantly getting complements and asked where I purchased the handbag. I’ve discovered it’s become a great conversation piece, and allows me to mention, I’m an author. It holds my stack of business cards inside, too. Smile.
