Personal (Affect) #4. Old Purse

This purse is 60 years old.

I remember playing with this purse when I was a wee little girl. In fact, that's how it got the ink mark inside -  it's only blemish.  This purse was purchased (haggled for, I'm sure) during one of the many travel excursions my grandparents took in the 1950's.  No one can remember exactly where they got it, probably Mexico, Costa Rica or Hawaii.  My grandmother used it, then my mother and now me.  I love the studs and the burned etchings of flowers painted red.  The purses character comes to life with the scuffs and bruises in endured through 3 generations.
