Many people are definitely collectors and I just discovered a wonderful museum in Amsterdam which I would love to visit next time I visit this delightful city. The museum was started by Sigrid Ivo who inherited her passion from her mother who devoted half her life to creating one of the biggest walk-in closest in the world. The Museum of Bags and Purses is inside an elegant, five-storey home that houses more than 1,500 bags dating back to the 16th century. http://us.holland.com/e/45245/Evening+bags+and+purses+.phpThis museum would complement Toronto's Shoe museum. Women often buy bags and shoes with the intention of having them coordinate.
I don't think that Michael will be as eager to join me in a tour of the museum but I think that I can arrange for him to sit at a lovely cafe or restaurant and have an ale of some kind.
The article in today's Toronto Star feature some wonderful examples of purses from the museum. They put me to shame with my back-pack bag that I use nearly everyday. I can not be bothered transferring all the things that help me get through a day. I like to know that I have them even if I don't always use them.
I am inspired to think about being more creative and imaginative in my choice of handbags. Dull works but these are more fun.
