What’s in Your Vintage Handbag?

I’m always interested in what other vintage ladies are carrying in their handbags and evening purses. Call it curiousity or just plain nosiness! ;0 I like to see what neat beauty products and must-have items ladies are carrying around. And, of course, I like to admire the vintage handbag.

I’ll Show You Mine…If You’ll Show Me Yours!

Now I’m going to show you what’s inside my handbag that I used last evening. If you’re a blogger yourself, I’d love to see you do a similar post and let me know here in the comments section. If you’re not a blogger, I still want to know what’s in your handbag, so leave me a comment!

First off, the Handbag:

A lovely 1940s vinyl-looking red and gold rectangle handbag, which still has it’s original coin purse inside.
