It has been said, by members of my family who shall remain nameless (you know who you are!!), that I have a "thing" for handbags - something that I would previously have strenuously denied!
But yesterday, in the car on the way to a therapy session (retail therapy!!) with my almost-teen daughter, she asked me if I was happy with my new handbag - she was with me when
I bought it, and got a new one herself at the same time.
I bought it, and got a new one herself at the same time.
I smiled even as she asked me the question, and realised that, yes, I am VERY HAPPY with
my new bag. In fact, I would have to say that it fills me with JOY (all be it briefly) every time
I look at it.
It's just SO ME!!
It's just SO ME!!
It dawned on me then that happiness lies in these little every-day things, if only we
take the time to notice them!
So, I decided to share some of my happiness with you, dear reader!
These two beauties were actually bought for the same wedding - that of
my first cousin once removed....or is she my second cousin???
The beautiful pyramid shaped one was for sale in the wedding hotel's reception lobby
and I just couldn't leave it there...it was love at first sight!
More wedding bling bags!!
Well, come on ladies, you can never have too much bling!!
Beads, feathers and shiny embroidery....what more could you want?

And then there's the goes-with-everything bag!
I just love the colours and texture in this little beauty.
It barely holds a phone and a purse, but who cares??? It's gorgeous, and it's
another bag that makes me smile every time I use it.
Of course, being a Scot in exile, I have to have a wee hoard of tartan bags too!
All of these "little things" add up to a whole lot of happy in my world.
So, I guess now I'm willing to admit that I DO have a thing
about handbags!
Gratefully yours.
