I love colorful, pretty, unique purses, and they don’t have to match my shoes! They are part of my outfits and make fashion fun!! Small, cross-over-the-shoulder ones are handy to keep valuables: a camera and cell phone, or to go dancing to keep a tissue, lipstick, keys and money. I change my purses like I change shoes!
These are just a few handbags in my collection. Summer gardens are in full bloom and my purses are just as colorful!
Left: My daughter gave me the black heart-shaped purse for my birthday.
Right: I bought this hand-crafted bag (with a little silver elephant button) at Pike Place Market in Seattle.
Totes:
When I need to carry more items, I have some unusual totes. The cat bag was bought in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario (designer is Laurel Burch). The ladybugs tote was gifted (hand-made by an artisan).
What kind of purses do you like?
I love your bags. I like the colors and shapes. The Niagara purchased is fantastic.
Thank you! The designer of the cat tote is Laurel Burch who, unfortunately, passed away at age 61 – a talented artisan. I love her whimsical creations!!

Carmen, they’re beautiful just like you! Great collection!
Thank you, Jeannie! I have noticed some lovely bags in your pics!!!
I love how varied your purses are. You have a floral theme going on with a lot of them but they’re all unique — just like real flowers are. I’m glad you like the heart-shaped purse I gave you. I know that’s a favorite motif of yours
I like the cat-themed one you gave me too!
Thanks, Jean!
Hearts are my trademark
but I like flowers, too. We’ll be going to Niagara-on-the-Lake again – would you like a big cat tote?
