And I bet you could even find room in it for a laptop and some papers as well. The lack of a zip would worry me though; still you've proved by example that one isn't necessary. Can I say I did enjoy reading this and also your weather report. I've only ever seen snow like that perhaps twice in my life and although it has its drawbacks it must be magical too.Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-38656650046267832562010-02-27T06:43:06.782-08:002010-02-27T06:43:06.782-08:00Frances, I always look forward to your comments. I...Frances, I always look forward to your comments. I have been wondering how you were doing when I heard about all the snow in Central Park. I love your bag. I, myself, tend to have serial favorites. My style-conscious sister-in-law has made fun of my bags, but I don't worry about that. Right now I have a little slim black purse with pockets on both sides. My daughter gave it to me after my old purse was lost. It holds a checkbook with ID and various bank and medical cards, stamps, zoo passes for me and my grandkids, car keys, cell phone and a few receipts. That is all it will hold which helps me keep it free of clutter. You stopped writing too soon. I was wondering what you were having for supper on a cold, snowy night.Shari Sundayhttp://www.grandmasunday.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-32511906548935415262010-02-27T04:31:03.489-08:002010-02-27T04:31:03.489-08:00I do hope that by now the snow has abated, and doe...I do hope that by now the snow has abated, and does not leave you with icy surfaces. we seem to ahve finished with snow, but a tempest is forecast!<br />What a lovely classic bag that is.

I have been unaccountably blocked for writing until tonight, after a walk in alternating moonlight and falling snow. It sounds as though you are getting even more of it that we have here. <br />I love your honest list of in-bag items - an Irish linen hanky, some cough drops - as well an another glimpse of one of your projects (perhaps?), the crochet blanket on the chair.<br />Isn't it pleasantly cosy to be indoors when it's snowing, and to have something like fresh scones and a cup of tea while watching it fall and fall.<br />Be safe - don't slip!<br />And thanks again,<br />FrancesFrances Tyrrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18300498036210195590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-37206211624838876252010-02-26T22:47:11.118-08:002010-02-26T22:47:11.118-08:00Hello Frances.

Take care on your way to work in the morning, if you have to go out.<br />PS I just knew that your bag wouldn't have any crumpled receipts, shredded tissues or fuzzy mints!Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.com
