A {Pretty} Pouch A Day

Yesterday, I went in to get my weekly allergy shot. As I was leaving, the receptionist watched as I gathered my purse, tote bag, jacket, scarf and cup of tea and dryly commented, "you don't travel light, do you?"
This is one of the NY things I have not been able to let go of in my Philly life. Like a modern-day nomad, I travel with everything I need for the day, including but not limited to: my make-up, a snack, at least one beverage, a wallet, a notbook, my phone, a change of shoes and a magazine or two. Sometimes I throw a few groceries in there too. People who have cars use them to throw all their junk in, I carry mine on my back.
One thing that keeps my bags from falling into complete disarray is my love for pouches. Here are some favorite pouches, so cute they inspire rhymes...

Sunday's pouch is grey and flat, in the whimsical shape of a sleeping cat.



Monday's pouch is of fine feathered flocks, it's bright photoprints will knock off your socks.


Tuesday's pouch with delicate beads, is a tiny purse of a highbrow breed.


Wednesday's favorite is no slouch, it's a rosy pink fold-over pouch.


Thursday's pouch is patterned and fun- oh-so hard to just pick one.


Friday's pouch is worth the hype, with worn-in leather and railroad stripe.



Saturday's pouch, with colors electric. Each one is unique + quilted geometric.
