omg, grace, i LOVE this idea.

 

*prepare for me to get super girly*

 

i have a huge thing for bags. ok, so not really designer bags so much, but i just love any sort of bags: backpacks, messenger bags, purses etc. its this weird obsession, but i love putting stuff in bags. i think you can tell a lot about a person by what's in their bag.

 

right now i'm a nanny in a big city, so i have very boring/practical things in a backpack, but here you go:

 

i forgot to put in my keys and my netherlands guidebook because they were on my desk, but that's my mary-poppins holland bag. usually there's food and sweaters in there too, but i already took those things out.

 

some things need a bit of explaining i guess, but basically there's a book to read when i'm bored, an umbrella, a notepad. in the next column, a dutch phrase book, two strippenkaart (tickets to travel dutch public transport...the blue one is mine, the pink is the kids'), 4 train tickets from rotterdam to leiden that we used today. next column is dutch water, my two wallets, dutch gum, and my ipod. then my rotterdam city map book, my dutch cell, a pen, and a diary. thrilling, no?

 

and because i'm a geek, i plan to do this again in america when i have a normal purse :P

 

 

A really really really late reaction. I was shocked when i saw all those dutch things :P

Were you a nanny in the netherlands?

How awesome!

nice gloves kjones ;)
