While switching over to a new purse, all of my everyday, personal items from my old pocketbook (a word which requires Grace Kelly gloves, a fashion-forward hat and, well, Grace Kelly) laid out before me. Looking at the pile, I realized something — not one of these I-must-carry-with-me-at-all-times-even-though-the-bag-is-so-heavy-I-need-a-chiropractor things would be my answer to the favorite interview question, If stranded on a desert island, what one item would you want to have with you?
I vow to myself that I will lighten my load as I begin to fill my new purse. I may have to make some tough decisions but I am up to the challenge.
As for what one item I would take with me on a desert island? That’s an easy decision: Grace Kelly’s pocketbook. My purse contents may be left wanting, but this woman won an Oscar and was a princess. That’s a handbag of magic!
