I was making my daily visit to Akelamalu's blog yesterday and found not only that she's given me the lovely award below (thank you so much!) but a really fun handbag meme! Now she didn't tag me to do it, and I'm not going to tag anyone else, but I was interested enough to tip my bag out on the floor and photograph the contents. I was astonished at how much stuff I cart around all the time.

The contents are : small brown Radley purse, Radley umbrella, Radley card holder (you may have noticed I'm a bit of a Radley freak!), comb, scent, lip balm, hand cream, nail file/buffer/polisher, handwash, hairbrush, pen, Sharpie pen, Filofax, Flash drive, cheque book, sweeteners, notebook, mirror, business card holder, little book of Confidence, laminated affirmations, glass pebble with heart on it (gift from Sian) and a re-useable carrier bag in its holder.

What shocked me more was that the bag was missing some of its usual contents - my phone, my compact camera, my keys and my MP3 player!!

I have now removed the notebook and comb from my bag, but I really NEED everything else...honest, I do!

I would like to pass on this lovely award to the Blissful Artist and to Quiet Rage - two very special friends of many years - you embody all these qualities and more!
