It's no secret that I love handbags and especially my Traveling Tote. In honor of National Handbag Day, I filled my favorite tote with some blooms. We are BFFs and both enjoy garden blooms!
My second favortite handbag is in the photo below. Smaller than the tote pictured above, and she doesn't bang into people in crowds.
I took the handbag photos below while in Italy last September, and fell in love with several handbags in Milan, Stresa, Bergamo, Verona, Bologna, Bellagio and Venice.
The orangy Hermes bag was styled with my favorite colors black and white. I have a handbag in this same color, and have had more compliments on it over the last year than any handbag I have owned. It's definitely the color that grabs you. W

Welcome

Blogging has introduced me to a wonderful community of peers, and we learn so much from one another. I'm a New York girl decorating with MacKenzie-Childs one season at a time! I enjoy hiking, kayaking, cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the Adirondack Mountains (thus Mountain Breaths). I live in Upstate NY with my supportive husband and have three adult sons.
