It had been my favorite, but it was way past its prime.
It was a gift from my eldest, with help from my youngest.
It was beautiful and perfect at one time, but not anymore.
The best purse I ever had was just falling apart at the seams...literally. The beads were leaving a trail everywhere I went. The lining was frayed along one end and so things were disappearing into the black hole, never to be thought of again. It was becoming a liability.
Today, Sr. Mrs. H wanted to go shoe shopping in Mobile. Mr. H was helping a friend move, so us girls headed to the mall. Sr. Mrs. H found the shoes she wanted. I wasn't interested in shoes, but ALL the purses were on sale. I decided to look around. And then I found it. I had seen some like it before, but they were too small. This one was perfect...or should I say purr-fect!
Very cute. And very colorful.
ReplyDeleteI use the same purse until it wears out. My mother always changes purses to match her outfit. Not me. Too much trouble.
My grandmother Louise had a purse to match every pair of shoes she owned. I always thought that was incredible. She kept them in clear plastic shoe boxes in her closet.
ReplyDeleteI love it! That's a Laurel Birch print, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYes, it is.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in college, I had Kliban cat sheets and comforter. I still have the pillow cases. I made a pair of pj pants for a friend out of the sheets a few years ago: very soft with age!
