A Week's Worth of Lady's Pride Bags

Starting today...Day One.

Another Enid Collins Bag

I think.

I purchased this bag for $1 on the street last year. I think it is an Enid Collins bag or one of the kits that were popular during the same time.

No Bag Sunday

On No Bag Sunday I thought I would share with you another of my loves -- plastic flowers.

Margaret Smith Bag at Stormville Flea Market

I once heard that some times taking a photo is better than buying it. This is one of those times.

Bag in Studio

Check out this bag in the Artist's studio. The tag says "When you've any dirty hankies, put them in this dutchman's panties."

Sturdy Messenger Bag

I purchased this Brooklyn Industry messenger bag back when I produced events.

It was the best bag to fit my event binder, laptop, mobile phone, misc. chargers, sharpies and trusty notebook. It also carried my personal survival items like tea bags, iPod, sunglasses and rosary beads.

I always carry a set of rosary beads. In this bag, there is a plastic set that was given to me by the former Production manager of the GoGo's who happened to be jewish.

I Made This Make Up Bag

Yup, I made it. I love the fabric and button.

Paul Frank is your Friend

My cool big sunglasses drawstring bag; too bad it rained today.

The Perfect Travel Clutch

It's perfect size for carrying your airline ticket or travel tickets, necessary travel documents, cash and coins as well as credit cards when traveling.

I purchased it on sale at Banana Republic years ago. I have kept it because how great it is for traveling.

Walking for Iris House

A big THANK YOU to all my pals who stepped up and made a donation. I raised over $1,000 to support my employer, Iris House: A Center for Women Living with HIV/AIDS, at today's AIDS Walk New York 2008.

Let's get back to the topic of this blog. One of the incentives from the Walk is a tote bag. I hope this year's is as cool as this one from 2006; last year's was not.

There is still time to make a donation, just click here

Again, thank you. Your generosity inspired me!

Spring has Sprung

Added this plastic 1960s market bag to my collection today. I love stoop sales!

A Coin Purse with a Little Sparkle

and a zipper!

Another Lady's Pride Bag

As Promised

The Full Size Shopping Bag


The gang at Lady's Pride were so thoughtful. I think they originators of the whole "bring your own bag" movement circa. 1960's.

Lady's Pride Shopper's Kit

This was a wonderful Ebay find. Look it comes with a note pad and gold pencil to write your shopping list.

Tomorrow , we see the full size shopping bag.

Vintage Tote Bag

I am not sure if I should count this as a market bag.

Disco Market Bag

Did you know that young girls and crows are attracted to shiny objects?

Denim Market Bag

Hello Kitty Market Bag

Kinda Like a Plastic Bag but Reusable

A Market Bag for a Good Cause

I won this bag at the McCarren Dog Run Benefit. It is made by a local dog owner who donated it to the worthy cause of making the run safe for small and big dogs a like. If you want to make a donation, check out mcdogrun.org. Thanks!

G-Star Market Bag

It's a good bag to use at the green market.

Rwandan Market Bag

German Market Bag

Free Reusable Market Bag from Nylon Japan

As you may know, I have a thing for all things Japanese. This includes Japanese magazines especially when they come reuseable totes like this one.

A Cute Apple Make Up Bag

A Sweet Make Up Bag

A Little Reward for Finding a Home for Thunderscotch

Last Sunday, I spotted this little dog running free in McCarren Park. With help from my brother and Lucy's owner, she found her way to my apartment. Of course, I gave her a name, Thunderscotch, and set about trying to find her owners if she had been lost or new owners if she was ditched. Thunderscotch spent nearly a week with me and VALENCIA. In addition to caring for her, I spread the word about her to everyone as well as various dog rescue groups. Thankfully, I found her a home with a sweet couple in the 'hood who have renamed the little dog, Junebug.

I did all of this because it was the right thing to do. I also know this has nothing to do with bags. So let's get back to bags, please consider supporting or rewarding my good deed by gifting me this great bag designed by one of my favorite artists - Nathalie Lete. Here's the link.


Just a thought! Back to bags tomorrow.

Le Sportsac Bags

These bags are almost as great at the Muji Storage Pouches.

Make Your Own Coin Purse

I think I will try to make one. Check out the Purl Bee website for directions http://www.purlbee.com/cute-japanese-coin-purse/

Snap Top Sewing Kit

Continuing on the coin purse theme, let me introduce you to the snap top sewing kit. I purchased it today at the Bust Craft Fair in Greenpoint. Only $5 and super cute. Everyone needs a little sewing kit!

Another Type of Lady's Pride Bag

This bag is made out of recycled plastic bags. Isn't it super cute!

A Blast from the Past

This is a classic bag. It is a nylon Kate Spade bag. The color has faded a bit but is still a great shape. I think I will use it this week.

A Bag for Spring Days

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!
