~IT TAKES A LOTTA NERVE...~

....and the older I get the more nerve I seem to be getting, thanks to all of my great blogger friends out there!  With your help, I might actually grow up one of these days!

I'm going to do this!  I am going to carry this handbag..with attitude! 
I don't have all that long to stick my neck out...and I am beginning to understand  some of the older ladies styles a sweet blogger friend sent me yesterday..or was it today?
Very interesting by the way.  VERY! :)
I am going out to lunch tomorrow with some girlfriends..and I am going to carry this bag.  It's a "Junior Drake" bag and one of my favorite brands.  

The inside is pretty grays in an interesting print.  Has all the pockets you could want.  SOFT as a baby's bottom..and I love it.  The bright yellow that shows in this photo is WRONG.  The above picture is correct.  
I'm wondering if my daughters will comment on this...they have been a lot easier on me since I stopped coloring my hair. 
But..now I'm doing things like this!!!
However..I must say that daughter, Maryalice, only said of my silver sandals and silver toenails,
..."Nice Mom, very summer!" when they took PH and I out to dinner Saturday evening.  
HOW ABOUT THAT!! :)

Expecting company so I gotta run..but..tomorrow I have to show you something from my ironing board cover lady.  Remember her?  Rather it AND her?  Your going to love this!  
Knocked me out!  
I get so tickled when I find something neat!

Big hugs! 
Mona

P.S.  Hmmm...my right big toe looks a little crooked..when the heck did that happen??  I'm standing up so maybe that's it.  Maybe it's the camera angle..  (TALK about vain!) :)

  1. The purse is spectacular, Mona, but I have to say your tootsies stole the show in this post! You have the feet of a 20 year old. I could never post a picture of my dry, veined, poorly manicured toes! Okay, I exaggerate! But they don't look this good.

    Wear that toe ring proud, sister!!

  5. Dear Mona, I have a bright yellow bag, my neighbor brought back from Italy. I love the colour, except it is very large and most of the time I am rummaging around in the bottom of it. May be I will get it out when summer comes.
    Hugs Kay

  13. Mona the bag is great but I couldn't see me carrying anything bigger than a wallet. I have finally gotten to the spot where I don't really care anymore. Your little silver ringed toesies look very fashionable. Your clothes and accessories are done like your home...to the tee! I would be proud to go with you anywhere!

  15. Dear Jean...I know just how you feel. Problem is..I have some years on most of you and I am going thorugh a thing where I want to do it all before I simply can't!
    I've worn those toe rings for years and years. Nearly 16. The handbag..well..at the last minute I change back to my safe off white one!
    I am SUCH a coward!
    Hugs,
    Mona

  18. Love the purse Mona - you go girl. What does age have to do with it - you do what you want and feel comfortable in. If we like bright clothes then we should wear them.
    Have a terrific weekend with your new purse.
