Ever since I was a teenager I’ve “enjoyed” carrying around loads of stuff with me; and said stuff has always involved notebooks. I love them and I’m very picky about them! They have to be the right size, have the right type of paper, lined pages… I used to use them mainly as journals and scrap books, but nowadays, with a toddler in my life, my train of thought is constantly being interrupted, so I use them to write lists and more lists of things I can’t forget!

Wonderful big bag. Such a bag needs a lot of nice and useful stuff. Without istuff it feels unhappy :)

Have a nice day, Margaret

Hej Wink,
such a nice post.
Made me think about my own Handbag and the stuff inside.
Not that much as yours and not that harmony of colors.
You were the inspiration for my todays post.
Thanks!

Have a nice evening,
Kaycee*

In my purse are the following items: tissue holder with tissue, phone, keys, sunglasses, reading glasses, wallet, calendar, business card holder, 2 small contact saline holders, manicure set, pill box, makeup, mints, key ring that holds all my various discount cards, small bag that holds various items I might need that I don’t want just floating around in the bag, lotion, 3 pens, and 5 chapsticks.
Now in my project bag that I would take along with me along with my purse would be my container that holds any items needed for the project like crochet hooks, scissors, etc, the project itself, and various small information booklets, Each project has its own bag and I just transfer the accessory container and small booklets to whatever project bag I want to take with me. I currently think I have about 50 unfinished projects. Just finished one yesterday and will finish another on Friday.
And I have drink containers that I take water along with me and they have covers with handles that they go in.

My bag should be called ‘travel case’. Two sets of keys, check book, reading classes, phone, notebook, crochet hook, nail file/buffer, nail clippers, wallet, aspirin, hair baerette or two, hair scrungies, ‘chopstick’ hair pin, eye drops, pens, pencils, small screw driver, breath mints, dental floss, and compact mirror. All of this is in the purse that is in the tote bag which holds yarn, another crochet hook, knitting needles, extra socks, magazines/catalogs, mail, and pattern printouts. Yes, every office day. Then, there’s the attachment at the end of the arm called a coffee cup (or iced water in summer). I agree with Femke, you are (super) organized, and my bag is more like her’s. In my younger days, I was an organized person, but not so much in my senior years. Thankfully, I still have a certain order as to what goes in which pocket in the purse. If I didn’t, I’d never find anything!!!

When I see the contents of your bag, it all seems quite organised to me! I mean, you carry your pens in a special container! Mine are all on the loose somewhere deep down below, and when I need one, it takes a long time before I find it (and then let’s hope it still writes…). Same goes for keys. Other things I carry around are handkerchiefs, hand cream, breadcrumbs, pieces of paper, receits, … you name it, it’s probably there. I sometimes call it the magical knapsack of Douwe Dabbert ;-)

Fabulous bag and looks very organised to me which I like. My bag id big and bold like yours and full of lovely stuff that I can’t be without. I don’t know how some people manage with small miniscule bags ;)
