Purse Love


Hello Everyone, it is Wednesday and we usually do the Hodgepodge here at The River.
Joyce took the week off this week, we will be back to the Hodgepodge May 18th.

Purse Love

My husband knows I love purses. When we are out shopping he will steer me away from the purses, in a teasing way. He just does not get the fact that purses have personality. 
I actually have had the same purse for two years now! Eek! 
I  love the purse I have right now and have not felt the need to switch up. It also is perfect for my busy life with my boys and it can carry what I need comfortably. What I like best about it, is I can do stuff with it on me without feeling tied down.
Last week I took the boys shopping. We had a wedding to attend on Saturday and my boys needed some new clothes. While my oldest son was trying on clothing, I hiked on over to the purse section of the store. My husband was not with, oh did I have fun teasing him. I took photos of ALL the purses that I liked. I am sure he thought "Oh,No"

How about you? Do you have a favorite purse? 
Do you switch up for the seasons?
Do you have a big purse, medium purse or small purse? 
Or do you not even carry a purse?

  1. Carla, I have a silver colored purse and it goes with everything. You know, I used to love purses too, but I like to travel light so most of the time I just take my wallet everywhere. Your purse is cute, and love the polka dots. I'm a polka dot girl too.

  2. Oh my...don't get me started! Purses are my one weakness! (did I say ONE? heehee) I LOVE them and always look at them when I shop. I got a new 'bag'...more like a beach bag for myself for a gift. I carry the smallest of purses when I shop. But I put it inside a bigger bag or purse and leave that in the trunk of my car when I shop. When we go out for the day, I have it on the floor with me with all my 'essentials'. I love beautiful bags and could really go for a polka dot purse...not sure I have one of those! heehee! Hugs!!!

  3. I have never been one to switch purses on the season. I have that "one" purse that is my everything, and when anything happens to it I am devastated, lol! My last purse was soooo perfect for me, I still have not been able to find a replacement for it. The one I use now is only a temporary, still waiting to find "the one"!

  4. I used to switch them up a lot but I've been carrying my same Madewell tote for years now. I am looking for a smaller cross body bag though.

  5. I love purses and I do switch them up often. I actually used to work for Coach and had many of them (unbelievable discount), then I went for a more funky style, wallet shoved into a diaper bag when the kids were small, now I am a Vera Bradley junkie...but only when I catch a sale!! Oh and always cross bodies. I don't want to hold anything but a loved one's hand! ;)

  6. Hi! I usually switch mine out a couple times of year. I like them big, I'm sorta like Mary Poppins that way. This one you featured is so cute! Love those polka dots!

  9. While shopping in Houston a couple of weeks ago, I looked for a really small black purse. When I noticed that the cheapest one was $60, I decided to "shop" in my closet at home. I found a really cute straw bag ( brand new/ never used!) that I don't remember buying or receiving as a gift. Most of my bags are leather and have been thrifted, so this perfect straw one was a find. Linda@Wetcreek Blog

  10. When I worked every day, I had purses to match my diff. shoes, etc. Now I like the cross body mini purses because I am old and forgetful and would lose my purse otherwise! lol Earlier this week I found a brand new Vera Bradley pink paisley cross body mini purse at Goodwill for $6! I will carry it until it falls apart!
