What's In Your Purse?

Way too much stuff.

Janet, I looked up the Vera Bradley bags because I was intrigued by the 6 inside pockets. There is a local store that carries them. I may just stop by there tomorrow and check them out. I really need more organization. With all my stuff and two cell phones, I have trouble getting to what I need before my call is missed.

I definitely do not want one of the stylish larger purses. I looked at some of them on Monday at the Galleria Mall in Houston, and some of them weigh as much as a small suitcase. I hate carrying a lot of weight and my contents weighs enough as it is.

I love my Vera Bradley purse Marilyn. I like the Kensington pattern, so pretty. The one I have now is the Betsy in the java blue pattern. They also have some on ebay. Here in Indiana sometime in May they have the Vera Bradley purses 50%-75% off at their outlet store. I'm hopeing to be able to go, but we'll see. I would love to get a couple more and a couple of their billfolds.
