Pretty Little Things

Walking with Cake: My handbag display

(A few of my clutches.)

When I was packing for my trip recently, I rediscovered my small collection of clutches.  Once upon a time, I carried these pretty little bags to weddings and events at night.  Now that I’m a mom, I lug around a much larger purse, filled with diapers and snacks, and I rarely get out after dark.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy my little handbag collection, so I put a few of my favorites on the chest near my bed, for my enjoyment all day long.  The tiny blue coin purse is from my trip to England with my sisters, the pink bag in back was bought just because, and the bow clutch is from my sister’s wedding.  I also added the vintage purse I picked up in Salt Lake City, and now I have a small vignette that reminds me of happy occasions whenever I see it.

I know I’ll get to use these bags again one day, but until then, I’m letting them shine a little.  Just for fun.

Do you collect anything special?
