I have a strange collection of useful and not so useful stuff in my handbag. I think the brownie motto to always 'Be Prepared' has kind of stuck with me.

How wonderful to remember the contents of your Nan's handbag and what wonderful things she had in there. I have two powder compacts that belonged to my Mum and one of them is very Art Deco 1930s. I suddenly feel old as my Mum was born in 1916 and her Mum in 1884 both having children in their mid 30s. How resiliant grandma was to live through two world wars and the depression in the 1920s. Things are so different today:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-83733257111543793852017-01-30T11:53:24.789+00:002017-01-30T11:53:24.789+00:00Hi Julie, yes it is my maternal Grandad and Nan:)...Hi Julie, yes it is my maternal Grandad and Nan:)Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02766240849932971541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-74420375552423264672017-01-30T11:40:49.112+00:002017-01-30T11:40:49.112+00:00Just to say they look a fine couple.
