Still More Marie!

 Well , the renos are moving 

slowly but I am charging ahead on the 

sorting and thinning!!

I have managed to thin 

all my bags. 

 I certainly didn't need 

that  many on the shelf!

I brutally went thru them 

and sorted them by purpose. 

The office type bags took 

the biggest hit on usage.

As I don't go to an office 

anymore, there is no need

 for a bag to carry necessities for the day!

I now have three that will serve

for dinner out or more formal events.

Next up were the travel/shopping bags.

I now have three. 1 backpack style and two

side carry cross body bags. 

Two of the three are black. 

I had a recent scare where I thought 

my bag had been lost or stolen simply 

because the black color blended into 

the dark interior of the car! 

Now both bags have been embellished with

bright trims so can easily been seen! 

The third is a travel crossbody bag , 

brightly colored for plane travel. Lots of pockets

for all my smaller travel needs. I even 

modified the edge to carry a small

sanitizing kit !

  

The top shelf looks a lot lighter now!

I did save this little pink purse for my grand daughter. 

It was too cute to donate!

Also , side story, I have a friend

whose mother loved fancy bags .

 She had asked that her grand daughters

get her bags when she passed. Imagine the 

stir at the play school when her little 

grand daughter showed up with all her Barbies 

neatly arranged in a $3000 Louis Vuitton handbag. 

We all see different value in things. 

Like this little girl said, "It's my gamma's!"

Stay tidy!
