bag lady...

Honoré here: Today's Ten on Tuesday prompt is " ten things in your purse." I don't really carry a purse on a daily basis, but rather, a bag. I find a bag handy for a lot of reasons: it accommodates a lot of things and can take a beating; it fits on my shoulder; its portability; and it serves very conveniently as a shopping bag for a bunch of bananas, some printer ink, a new magazine, and sometimes a project bag for knitting, hand quilting, etc. So, with that in mind, I share what's currently and generally  in my bag/purse:

1. wallet
2. camera and iPhone
3. iPad 
4. Circa planner 
5. an umbrella
6. my travel tea mug 
7. an IKEA shopping list/floor map
8. a flyer announcing an upcoming  quilt show
9. an expired debit card - oops, glad I found this, meant to shred it; and  
10. two mesh zippered bags: the larger one holds toiletries, e.g., lip balm, tissues, hand sanitizer and lotion; peppermint Altoids; a folding brush w/mirror;  a cloth to clean my glasses; a Tide mini stain remover.paper toilet seat liners and purse-sized tissues. The smaller  bag contains 2 pens,  a pencil & refill lead;  a pad of sticky-notes;  punch cards from knitting & quilting shops; a couple 3 x 5 grid index cards with my contact information; and a notepad.

 Gathering the data for this post was a great incentive for me to a) clean out my bag and b) remember that it's time to make a new bag for the Spring...now,  where did I put that pattern and fabric I bought last year when I was in Sisters, OR?

(hover over picture for descriptions of the various bags)

I am liking yours (and other people's suggestions) of a bag to carry the little stuff that ends up at the bottom all the time...

Oh my goodness, that sounds more like a rucksack-full than a bag-full! You are clearly a creative and neat packer away of things. :) Your pink and black daily one is very eye-catching.
