I am extremely lucky in that I changed my handbag over on Sunday, and so this one hasn't had much time to gather all of the gunk that I usually haul around.
So, in no particular order, my handbag contains a black pashmina, my business cards (all identifying features blocked out!), headache tablets, hand cream, lipstick, hair clips, keys, spare battery for my DSL camera, spare SD card for my point and shoot camera, my point & shoot camera (in the Crumple bag), mints, headphones, nail file, pen, tissues, wallet, supermarket receipt, copy of my affidavit, hair comb, old theatre ticket, name tag from the emcee'ing job..... AND the thing that most people probably would not know that I always carry in my bag.... two dowsing pendulums (for when you can't choose which bottle of wine to buy!)
I'm kidding, of course. I've also been known to use them to choose between butter and margarine (in Holland with Wikke!) and which brand of coffee to buy!
I'm intentionally making light of a subject that I actually treat quite seriously. Toto is also into dowsing, and has his own pendulum. I have absolutely no idea how or why they work as well they do, but they have never let me down. It's all about energy and intuition... two subjects that I believe in but don't fully understand. And I kind of love it that I let it into my life without having to understand it to the nth degree (unlike many other things in my life).
I tag.... ummmm.......
Guera, M, Ali and Dina.
But you've got to play by the rules. No cheating and hiding the embarrassing stuff!

Oh look! Just like the Glomesh ads from the 80s except real.
Okay, okay, I'll do it. But which handbag? Hmmm...
That was actually very impressively tidy and quite fascinating. I love this sort of thing.
I'll happily do it, but I changed bags reasonably recently so it's not near as festy as usual!
OK, I'll do it. Thankfully I cleaned all the sand and biscuit crumbs out of it just the other day... :)
I actually don't usually use a purse or handbag. I carry around a big backpack. Is that sad? I do it because I carry my big water bottle and books. I have all kinds of treasures and junk. I clean it only when we go out of town so it tends to accumulate a lot.
I've read a little about dowsing. I actually tried it once--but not with anything official. I used an old necklace that belonged to my grandma. Maybe I needed something more official.
I do other stuff like that though. I have my own little homemade spirit-guide cards that I use every day. I wrote all these little advice things and then each day, I shuffle the cards until two become separated (one at a time) and I read them.
I've never considered using them to decide on butter or margarine. You might be on to something there!
my doctor uses hers to decide on the best day of the week to do things - she is a one in a million MD - part earth mother, part rebel child, part scientist, part nuturer and part nutter ... hugs le
I love a peek into people's handbags.
M's tagged me so I'll give it a go.
Here via M, who tagged me along too.
I love a good hangbag perve.. ;)
