I have a closet shelf and I am constantly switching out the purses I carry. I do generally give some as gifts. Next on my list is to make a purse for the wonderful friend who graciously offers me to use her lake house as frequently as we would want! In fact, several teacher friends and I were up there today for a day on/in the water and the air-conditioned lake house!!! It was a great way to spend the 99 degree day and since she always admires my bow-tucks bag, I am going to make her one.
