Link in a Chain

I don't remember where I got this one; however it does get used quite often and people have commented on it when I go out. It's my chain-link purse; and I love it. It may not be very big or have as many pockets as my usual purses and handbags, but I do love to have this with me as a bit of bling at parties and dinners; and it really shines on a dancefloor!

So, there is a slim chance of this one ending up in the charity bag and being hauled away anytime soon. I just love it too much for it's authenticity and beauty; also it's a one-of-a-kind.

From Scotland

This charming little purple one came from Scotland. My Mum bought it for me thinking I'd love it; and I do. I haven't found anything like it here in Australia in colour or style and I don't think I will; as it's made from suede and has the stitched flower on it.

However, I have yet to use this one; even though it was given to me some time ago. I guess I haven't found the right occasion to take it out and show it off.

Colorado

I do love to use wallets; and this is because of their versatility and ability to have a lot of money in them and yet still stay thin, also because you can shove it into your back pocket and it'll stay there most of the time. However, this wallet isn't designed that way. This is a wallet to be used by a woman, who doesn't mind getting a lot of change, having a place for all of her credit cards and needing a handbag to stash once she's clipped it closed.

And what I love about this wallet is that I bought this one at a charity store and it looks and feels brand new. I've yet to use it; and most probably will in the next few weeks. It's got such a lovely soft feel to it. However, seeing it's a Colorado, it may not find another like for a while. I will find the official website and put it up on the side bar for you to have a look at.

New Zealand

I received a lot purses last year; and this is one of them. This beautiful purse was received in a parcel full of presents during a time of year on another website called HGG (Holiday Gift Giving) and it's when you go and give things to others on this site because you feel good about giving. A wishlist is put up and everyone gets to have a go granting wishes off that list. On my wishlist was coin purse from all over the world. And I received a few; including this one.

I do love this one for another reason. It's my second one from New Zealand and it's a lot sturdier than the first one I bought when I was there. So, it's just as special as my last one; and I will get to use it one day.

High School Musical Rocks!

I really love the style of lipstick purses; and this one wasn't going to be left at the markets all because of what was on it. Yes, I bought this one along with another one because of the type of purse it is: a lipstick purse. Otherwise, I'm not into the 'High School Musical' trilogy or into the teeny-boppa kind of movies. This one caught my eye also because it's in such good condition. I've yet to use it.

However, I don't think I will as it's not really all that stable. On closer inspection, I found that the hinges on it were lose and I have no way of tightening them. So, it needs a little work before I can get in to putting in for my normal rotation of use with the others.
