Tool bag chic...

I love love love to carry everything but the kitchen sink in my purse... These great Toolbags and Gearbags by Sherry Stein make it easy for girls like me. The bags are made from industrial strength canvas and  are full of compartments and pockets for all of your essentials like your cell, laptop and of course your makeup bag. I have to make sure that I pick up one of the Gearbags before my vacation to Hawaii.

Chic laptop totes...

I think that I definitely need to add these to my growing list of, "Must Haves".  These chic laptop totes by jtote take the mundane out of laptop bags. The black and red with pony hair happens to be may favorite.

2. A Deery Lou notebook from Sanrio that I use as a check card register

3. Hand sanitizer

4. Chapstick (I especially love the Burt's Bees tinted variety!)

What you do in life: I'm still  thinking how to answer this one . . .

What's in your purse:

My Navajo rug  purse: big, bulky, deep, a good cat nap pillow holds:

1. My camera, for great finds and blog shots. 

2. My wallet: a pink make-up purse filled w/receipts-- yarn, coffee,  Trader Joes--my staples.

3. Crochet project and a spare hook--I can work anywhere, plus it keeps  me occupied when I'm bored in public.

4. A red crocheted pouch for  knick-knacks--gloss, tic-tacs, sunscreen, lipstick

5. Kleenex and hand sanitizer--I am the hand-sanitizer queen; hand lotion too. I've got tubes  stashed everywhere.

6. Pens and two notebooks: one for scribbling fast notes, the other to collect ideas, Etsy info, yarn styles, vintage research. I like my facts.

7. Always a book. (see #3). Don't get caught empty handed. 

8.  Random cough drops (wrapped) and a note stuck from my book, Pack of Two: "If there were a 12-step program for codependent dog owners, I'd no doubt be a prime candidate." I'd say that sums up the first question. 

While we're on the subject....
