Purse Give Away!

Friday, April 17, 2009
Star 100.7, a local radio station, is GIVING AWAY A PURSE! I don't know all of the details, except the 3 times a day, at specified times, a caller calls in and plays a game similar to "Concentration" wherein he/she gives two numbers that, if turned over produce the identical brand of purse, the caller wins the purse! Yesterday I heard someone call in and she won! She won a purse that they said was worth $300 by matching the numbers!

Too bad this blog won't continue much longer. . . or I would try to win a purse. . . .
I think because I am writing a blog about purses, my chances of winning should be pretty good, don't you?
I will continue to listen to the radio and attempt to figure out what's going on. . .
If I win
I will let you know!!

Winding Down Now

Wednesday, April 15, 2009
I have successfully (almost) completed a 12+ week-blog on purses. . .and through it all, I have kept my same purse. . .without changing it. . . so that makes me:
1. Boring
2. Unadventuresome
3. A no-frills kinda person
4. Not really concerned with keeping up with the latest fashion -- (and wouldn't even notice YOUR purse, if truth be told).

If I had to choose my own answers to the choices above, I would go with #3 and #4. Because I am NOT #1 and #2.

Just one or two more blogs to go. . . .
stay tuned!

The First Holy Communion Purse

Wednesday, April 8, 2009
Now to spend a little time on the "Communion Purse." The one that carried the little church prayer book and the rosary? With May just around the corner, I thought I'd spend a little time on the First Communion Purse.
The purse was white, of course, and we girls carried it down the aisle on the day of our First Holy Communion! What a treat that was!
There was barely enough room in that purse for anything else, but that was all we needed on our special day!
I kept that purse for the longest time - in my cedar chest. . . I may still have it. . . I'll have to check!

I believe that between the Easter Purse, and the First Communion Purse, this may be where the idea of "a purse for each occasion!" Perhaps this is why women have so many purses!!!!!
Ha!

The Easter Purse

Wednesday, April 8, 2009
With Easter just a few days away now, let me talk a little about Easter purses. . . c'mon, you remember them, don't you? As a little girl, we had these fancy little purses that we carried to Easter Sunday Mass? Or, all dressed up in our new Easter outfits? Fancy hat? Patent leather shoes?
Ok, girls, what did we carry in that little purse? I can remember carrying a handkerchief (the cloth ones, that were ironed), maybe some wax-like lipstick (that wasn't really lipstick, just something that 'resembled' lipstick), maybe a crayon and some change thrown at the bottom.
Ah, I remember!
My Easter purse!

April Fool's Day - and Accessories (Sunglasses)

Wednesday, April 1, 2009
Yes, yes, I know. It's April Fool's Day. . . I hate this day. Every year, if (when) someone plays a joke on me, I always forget that it's April Fool's Day and get caught up . . . and get really upset when I find that I've been duped. . . .
I can't wait until this day is over.
I looked up the sunglasses again. . . they are just too expensive. I'll hold out and hope to find them.

Until then, I just hope I get through this day.
