MUJI Storage Pouches

I heart these pouches; whenever I see them for sale I pick a few up. They are perfect for traveling. They are perfect keeping your receipts for a project. They are perfect for pens or other crafty supplies. They are inexpensive and last like forever.

As it says on the MoMa store website "These handy pouches are great for toiletries, school supplies, or other small gadgets, and are made of polypropylene."

Go out and get a few of these at either the MUJI store or a MoMa Stores near you.

The Real Bingo Bag

The cloth clutch didn't fit all my bingo supplies so this is the real (actual) bingo bag.

Why is this a Bingo Bag?

I am going to Bingo tonight and this is the bag I am using.
I love Bingo nearly as much as I love bags.

I Think Spring is Here....

'cause I am using my Margaret Smith bag tomorrow!

An Inspired Vision

An original Lady's Pride bag with watercolor vision of me with the bag (the beginning of an occasional series).

Variation on a Bag

Comparing yesterday's bag with this old Ebay win, I think it is another Lady's Pride bag. I understand why love it!

Another Type of Lady's Pride Bag

The company - Lady's Pride - was like the Kate Spade of the 1970s. Yet, another adorable bag they manufactured. Also my latest ebay win.

One Bag Sold

Bags still available. Visit my etsy shop for bags or swiffer cozies http://crystal25b.etsy.com

Lunch Bag

Bright yellow bag. Orange slices. Yummy salad. Hot chai in Thermos.

Green Day

Thinking Back to Saturday Night

It was a good night for the yellow clutch and beads.

No Bag Sunday

It's shocking but there will be no bag today. My camera needs new batteries. Tomorrow, I will share the bag I actually used for Saturday's party. It is delightful and a nice blast of spring.

Just the Best Darn Cocktail Party Bag Ever

Maybe I will use it tomorrow night?

Future Ebay Win?

It has the Lady's Pride handles but a different style than the tote/clutch I have been collect. I hope I get to add this to my collection.

UPDATE: I didn't win it. It went for a little more than I wanted to spend. Better luck next time, right?

Bags as Art

Yup, I have a Bag for my Tea Bags

1 bag, 2 peppermint tea bags and 1 green tea pomegranate.

A Blue Happenstance

Flea Market Find

What's In Your Make-Up Bag?

This bag goes into every bag I carry. It is a super cute bag with a wonderful old school zipper and vintage fabric. It is one of those bags I wish I had made.

Enough about my make-up bag; onto what's inside: bobby pins, Clinque mascara, MAC lip glass- standing ovation, Nivea cream, Kiehl's comb, Hello Kitty Bandaids, hair elastics, Kiehl's Lip Balm #1, Origins Peace of Mind, MAC pressed powder, Grandma's rosary beads and sewing kit.

Paisley Purse

This is one of my favorite Lady's Pride bags. The colors are perfection. It also came with the matching make-up case that I am currently using as my wallet.

Western Flowers

This bag was purchased in Houston during one of my very few escapes from the long hours of production work for the Super Bowl Pre-Game Show in 2004. It was a great find. It help me fit in with the Texan culture.

Found: Enid Collins Bag

Discovered in Portland OR more than a decade ago. Still love to break this bag out for elegant gatherings.

Hearts & Flowers

When I use this bag, I think about Joan Armatrading's song "Hearts and Flowers." I want to thank you for the hearts and flowers.

Mellow Yellow

What a Find!

Some people have all the luck...Look at what one of the Williamsburg Gays got on Bedford Avenue yesterday.

Do you think he would give me the hat case (round suitcase)? Or will he use one to make an awesome dog bed for Bella?

Waiting on the Warm Weather

Bag with Buddhas

Who Cares about "What's in Your Bag"? Besides us.

Answer: The Japanese.

Rainy Day Gear

Trench Coat...check.
Vintage rain scarf...check.
I am not a Plastic Bag bag...check.

Desire Dior

This is what I am currently searching for on Ebay. I would love a big vintage Dior clutch. Ideally it would be brown or burgundy but I would settle for navy blue.

Overnight Makeup Bag

It's vintage and an ebay find!

VALENCIA and her travel bag

Even the Kids Get It

I love bags. I have loved since I was a little girl.

Above is a home made card from the kids with drawings of my life and a special message. Thank you!

Shell Clutch

I can't wait till Summer to use this clutch. Thanks Williamsburg Gays.

Ebay Bargin

I paid like $10 plus shipping for this bag. I never looked at the dimensions of it. I just like the tapestry in the middle. I was going through some type of obsession. I fell in love with the bag when it arrived. I receive compliments all the time from so many people.

A Few of my Favorite Things

Green with Lunch

Today's photo was taken during the morning so you get a peak at my lunch and snacks for the day.

Tweedy Bag for Sunny Cold Day

A Bag for Beer, Burgers & Bowling

Well, the bowling didn't happen last night because the wait was too long.  However, there was beer and burgers to go with the silver lady's pride circa 1970s.

I HEART my accountant

Yup, it is laundry day.

Yesterday I was chatting with Ron, my accountant, about bags.  He was amazed at how sturdy the mexican plastic shopping bags are.  There were the bags we used to bring him the audit binders.  He then transferred them to LL Beam Boat & Tote bags to carry to the audit.

I HEART Ron because of this and all the other conversations we have had.

Ran around in the rain taking care of things.

Animal Magnetism

Feeling a little frisky today with my Adrienne Vittadini Bamboo handles, faux snake skin sides and faux leopard skin.  Today was a sunny day so I broke out the big sunglasses. 

Vintage Blue Shiny Tote

Isn't it perfect for a rainy day? 

This is recent ebay purchase was to go with my new fancy Michael Kors (Oh, I love Project Runway) dress.  However the color was a little off and decided I would prefer a more eveningish bag.  

I love the color.

Muji Tote Bag

Today's bag is the black Muji tote bag I purchased at the grand opening of the first Muji store in the States.  It is a simple bag that I could use on the weekends and Fridays to carry the essentials but not much more.

This is the start of a simple project to document the bag selected from my large collection and the items carried that bag.
