Why do I want to peek into women's handbags?

Yes, I admit it. I am curious leaning towards noisy -but not in a bad way. I am just interested in people,

what they do, why they do what they do, what they

think; and I'm willing to share what I do, why I do what

I do and what I think (most of the time, anyway).

And, I'm on a mission. This ebook is part of a larger

project I have in mind, of creating loads of ebooks

whereby people let us peak into their lives a little.

Ordinary people in many ways, and extraordinary in

many more. My dream is that people from all the

around the world, and from all walks of life, beliefs and

backgrounds will contribute to enriching these ebooks

and somehow contribute to proving me right about

something I have always held fast:

When you scratch the surface, and peep into people's

souls, we are all so much alike.


4/31

Why this particular ebook:

Well, I think women are fun. We like to be happy and

make others happy.I think all women are creative, because we always find

ways not only to get by but also to make life more

interesting.

I think women are fascinating because we give

ourselves the right to be true to ourselves, true to ouremotions and feelings. We give ourselves the right to

change our mind, be more flexible, more understanding,

more tolerant.

I think women are strong, sexy and delightful, and

totally crazy for asking for equality with other inferior

beings :-)

I love the wildness, the spontaneity, the illogical logic,

the courage, the warmth of women.

And to all the women who were brave enough to let me,

and anyone else who visits my blog, have a good peek

into their most womanly domain the handbag; Idedicate this fun ebook. I hope that after posting this

month on my blog, other women will come forward and

join the fun.


5/31

I was hoping to get 50 handbags I managed to entice

13 brave women to declare the contents of their

handbags + I did declare whats in mine! This is a

project in the making, so if I get more responses, Illjust update this ebook.

I've tried to include links to all the brave women who

gave in to our curiosity. If I've missed some names or

links, or if you'd like to add the contents of your

handbag, please let me know and I'll update this ebook([email protected]).

Hugs to you all,

Sarah's Handbag

www.bubblemunch.blogspot.com

My bag is sonot exciting!!

I carry a different one a smaller black one, a slightly largerdark brown one, or my rucksack (which is grey and pale pink)depending on my jaunt)

I used to have little fabric ones, knitted or stichted withembroidery or sequins for going out) but they ended up

losing threads and gathering dust. Now where I live there isno storage space so I have had to be practical.

I always carry my bright green leather purse that I bought inNew Zealand. Sometimes my mobile (if I've remembered tocharge it), sometimes lipstick if I'm in the mood.

My notebooks and camera don't fit in my handbags so they gowith me in my rucksack. Now I have (today!!) bought a new

camera case - my new lense was too big for my old one. Ialways have pens (fountain, Mont Balnc black biro, pilot G1rollerball). Sometimes chequebook (yes, sometimes we stilluse them!) Sometimes ipod Nano G2 (bright pink engravedwith "I belong to Bubblemunch" ! a gift!)

So, not terribly exciting or different at all - hence notbothering to bore anyone with it!

Sorry not to be wildly exciting or different! ;-)


13/31

If I remember anything else that I generally (or sometimescarry) I'll add!

Oh, I did forget to say that due to my alwaysuntidy and

disorganised nature, there are always a pile of receipts orshopping lists or unopened letters etc blocking it up so I cannever find anything!
