I came across this republished article yesterday. It's about the contents of womens handbags in 1945.
I was rather amused by it and thought you would enjoy it as well.
In Victorian days, it was considered "lady-like" to carry as little as possible. Hmmmmm....how interesting! I would have fit right in then! I only carry my wallet, my keys and a chapstick in my purse. I guess that's why I can get away with a small handbag. And by now, I'm sure you know my motto when it comes to purses:
If it isn't embellished, what's the point!!!
Enjoy!

Hi June, No, I don't have any children and thankfully when I leave the house, my kitties can stay home by themselves! I keep a box of Kleenex in each of our vehicles along with a pack of the antibacterial handwipes. That's why I get away with small purses. I never liked having to carry a bunch of stuff with me so I just don't.
ReplyDeleteMy bags come in all shapes and sizes! I swap and change as necessary, a tiny one when all I nned is my phone and my keys, something larger fo other occasions. I loved reading the article and have printed a copy for a colleague who loves my collection, but does not understand it.
