what's in your purse?




It's rehearsal day! Our sister Elese will be getting married this weekend and so we are busy getting a few things ready. One of the items on the list of things to do is prepare an emergency kit ( more like a suitcase) for the vehicle of the bride/bridesmaids , and then a special emergency purse that the Maid of Honour carries at all times. The list of things to get is long..everything from safety pins, to chalk, to Tums, mini sewing kit.etc.
It led us to wonder as women we carry either monstrous huge bags, or teeny itsy bitsy clutches..what do we really keep inside? What are the essentials?

I asked Charlotte to empty out her satchel purse, and this is what we found inside:
Her wallet from Heavens to Betsy
Favourite EOS lip balm
Ipod
kleenex
back up earrings
and of course the odd receipt

In Leah's yellow purse:
Butterfly Kiss perfume oil
tiny wallet from Heavens to Betsy
bobby pins
hair elastic
sunglasses

In my tan summer purse ( it has three pockets) there is:
my trusty green Fossil wallet
sunglasses
Burt's Bee Lip Balm
Clinique Lipstick
Ipod nano
teeny pocket sized first aid kit
gum
keys
 hand sanitizer
sharpie
Chinese paper fan
Ginger gravel capsules
not to mention pay stubs, receipts etc. man time to clean it out!

Ladies what's in your purse? If you are a mama I'm sure you have much much more..our own Mama's purse sometimes weighs 10 lbs! : )
