I wonder what the Founding Fathers would think if they could visit their dear country on Independence Day 2006 and see how we mark this important day: unnecessary shopping and excessive eating and drinking. Every shopping center will be open and the thrift stores are even having sales. Hurray for independence!
I hesitate to go looking for more handbags, though, as I am having a terrible time being objective about what to keep and what to jettison. In the meantime, I'm going through some handkerchiefs and clothing that I came across while handbag hunting. It's fun to learn about different designers (like the Paganne creation pictured) and see how people are still interested in their creations 40-50 years later.
