38 Years

I really have nothing quilting related to blog about today.  Yesterday was our 38th anniversary, it is sometimes hard to remember that we are old enough to be married that long, we were 19 & 20 when we met and married.  Our courtship lasted 7 weeks and we got married in a courthouse – no fancy wedding with a big bill attached to it.  I got married in a white mini-dress and Mike was in jeans   and 1972 was the year.   Yesterday we spent most of the day in Little Rock on a “date day”.  We have never really done anything much to celebrate our anniversary.  Mainly just go out to dinner or something like that.  Yesterday was shopping, a movie – “Robin Hood” – a different story than normal.  Some of you may have seen it – a variety of reviews.  I thought the first half dragged but liked the second half.  We stopped in Conway on the way home and ate at the “Market Place”, yummy bread drizzled with butter, I had a stir fry and Mike had a steak.  They have a variety of food on the menu and I can always find something I like on it.

When shopping I found this cute tiny purse to take with us when we travel.  Most times when on the road I do not like to lug my heavy bag (I never intend for it be heavy but some how it keeps getting more things in than I mean to have ) around with me but I do not always have a pocket large enough to stuff things in it.  I’m sure a lot of you can relate to that.  We are in and out of visitor centers and gift shops.  Sometimes just wandering the streets of little towns looking at things and I want to carry my phone with me, cash, credit card, drivers license ect.  but not all of the other stuff that is in the purse “in case I need it” (which means rarely used).  The brand name is “Sherpani” and here is a link to the web page with their products.

my cute little "wallet purse"

unzip and you have room for credit cards, drivers license, a little space behind it for cash, opposite side has a zipper mesh bag could be used for coins & lip stick or whatever, behind it room for something, tiny pen, note pad?

elastic band will hold the phone. The sales girl and I were laughing about how phones used to be big, then went tiny and now are back to big. I had to get my phone out to try it in the purse to see if it fit before I bought it. At the end of the shoulder strap is a key hook that you can hook your keys on so you won't forget them and they don't take up room on the inside.

Just the right size I need when we are wandering around – sometimes we have gone in a visitor center and then notice if you go through the back door it will lead to a short nature trail that we want to see but I do not feel like going back to the car to lock my purse in (always have to remember to cover it up so it is not seen) so then I end up lugging this heavy bag around with me.  With this tiny wallet purse it can be crossed over my shoulder and it so tiny and light weight I won’t even notice it.

Edited:  and a big plus was that I got it on sale! The Container Store sells this product, I don’t know where else.
