What's in my Bag? My Everyday Carry 

That sounds lovely! (So sorry for the delayed response.)

So sorry for the delayed response-but I wanted to tell you how perfect your bag sounds. I think you should make a little video tour for us!

@@HannahsBooks no problems Hannah. By the way I prefer leather, and often buy second hand. It's amazing in the UK how lots of women buy bags and never use the. My equivalent to Steve's go to Brattle bag is enormous and very thin, but strong leather. It's too big for daily use, but is great for book buying days. I paid about $20 fir it from eBay. It came in a cloth bag from an expensive store via eBay. It even still had the original price tag. I that it with lanolin once a year and it has lasted 15 years, so far. It gers to look better and better. I am glad to see you looking good, keeping busy and still smiling. I have a nurse friend whose watchword is "a smile is better for your health a packet of pills". She also teases that my health is dependent on a book a day, not an apple. She's in no position to criticise as she reads almost as much as me, and uses my books like a lending library, which is a joy, because we get to discuss the book after she has read it.

Thank you so much! Thrilled to have you here. Just a warning: I usually just talk about books and reading...

Thank you!

What a wonderful tradition! I think I may copy your grandmother's idea in the future!

@@HannahsBooks She would have loved to have heard it.

Thank you!

How funny! Well, you totally need a channel of your own--not just for bags but also for your bookish chat! We'll all be waiting for that time when you change your mind!

WE NEED A FOXED FOLIOS CHANNEL IN OUR LIVES!!!

@@RovingReader Yes indeed!

@@RovingReader I'm not sure you all even need a Foxed Folios in your lives, much less an FF channel! Surely your suffering is already enough with me popping up in your comments section?!? 🤣🤣

🤓♥️♥️♥️

Give Aaron a break, Steve! For years I carried around a mini bottle of Tabasco sauce every time I went out of town.

Glad to see your continuing saga--and you certainly make me feel less guilty about my somewhat tedius video!

Yay, pocketbook hot sauce! Years ago, my father had the pleasure of eating with Cokie Roberts--who pulled out a full-sized bottle of Tabasco to sprinkle on her restaurant meal. He was so tickled!

@@HannahsBooks Cokie was a true New Orleanian! 💜💚💛

Ooh, I love the sound of a backpack with a strong tire base!

What a wonderful bag to sew a bag with pockets just the right size for your own belongings! I'm not much of a seamstress, but my son is a wonderful craftsmen. I think I'll have to give him a new job....

Thanks, Julia! It would be so much fun to name colors! The company that makes this bag has a lot of interesting names--often food related: avocado, satsuma, nutmeg, honey, etc. Recently someone I follow on social media named her rescue kittens after a bunch of bag color names!

I must say that this bag is one of my favorite purchases in years. It is a combination of beautiful, practical, and special as well as plain and simple, all wrapped up into one. The craftsmanship definitely exceeds what I was expecting. The "AP" section on their website is quite a bit less expensive, and that is what got me to bite the bullet. I'm usually not much of a shopper, except when it comes to books... (There are also a fair number of coupons out there for discounts on PLG's full-quality bags, including a coupon link down in this video's description box, but I don't think these coupons work for the AP qualiity items.)

Gloves! Excellent idea. I haven't knitted gloves in a long time, but I could definitely use a new pair of knitted gloves!

Thanks, Beth. What IS it about What's in My Bag videos that makes them so appealing? I love them too, but can't explain it. Library bag tour up sometime soon, for sure--possibly a week or two.

Thanks, Deborah! Knitting and library are definitely coming, but it may be a week or two away.

Thank you, K! Library bag will be on tap for filming possibly in a week or two, I think!

Thanks! It still amazes me that people actually sat through this video!

I can't believe y'all humored me in this silliness!

♥️

Thanks for sharing.

Isn't it? This bag is my favorite non-book purchase of recent years, for sure.

I loved my time in Ireland, but I'm afraid my heart actually lies in Scotland...

I am so pleased you all are humoring me! My mother meant for emergencies--and she frequently mentioned that I should have some money so I could get home if I got mad at a date. But she did tell me that other people often used the phrase for mad flights of fantasy, too!

@@HannahsBooks A great mix of very practical and looking for joy, too!

Mad money to me means money in case your date goes sour or you get “mad” you have the $$ to get yourself home/ out of there 😊
