As a fellow purse junkie, I can't help but be curious about what another poor. afflicted soul carries around all day. Given, the point of a purse is not always its function, but rummaging around another person's belongings is intriguing nonetheless. Without further ado...
Confessions of a Purse Junkie
by Linda Joyce
Hello. My name is Linda Joyce, and I’m a purse junkie. I have purses in different shapes and sizes. Purses made of different materials. If there’s a support group for purse junkies like me, one that provides inside tips about the best sales, then sign me up. But don’t think for a minute that I have any intention of kicking this habit.
I do want to clarify. While I am a purse junkie, I’m not a purse snob. I offer you a view of my Jam Bag as supporting evidence. It’s colorful. Has style. Notice the silver grommets and the black handles. And shows off my signature sign—Fleur de Lis. It’s ecofriendly, made from recycled bottles.
So what do I jam in my jam bag?
- Japanese key chain with my key fob, reward cards, and red change purse carrying three, dollar coins inside.
- Hairbrush – this is insurance. I carry it so I’ll never need it.
- Turquoise wallet housing credit cards, stamps, miniature diploma from the University of Florida, and a few single dollar bills. It’s also big enough to hold my phone inside when I need to Grab-n-Go.
- Leather case hiding an imported German fountain pen.
- Pen—one of the first I got for SWAG
- Lipstick – PÜR Moonlit Pearl
- Business cards- name, address, rank, and no serial number.
- Hand wipes from the casino in Biloxi. I came home $60 in the good and put it in the bank.
- Kleenex
- Mints – SWAG I carry around. Never know when I might meet a new reader.
- Notebook—covert operations recorded to be used as secondary characters in a story.
- Bookmarks for Her Heart’s Desire. On the flip side, the books in the Fleur de Lis series.
