I say that I've finally realized my heritage when I do that! Just like my grandmothers did before me... I try to keep as little as possible in my purse though don't always succeed. Especially because my dear husband can't remember to bring his reading glasses with him, he felt I should store an extra set for him in the purse. I have wallet, sunglasses in their case, pens, one lipstick, one lip gloss, dental floss, toothpicks in a case, my business cards in their case, extra car key, emery boards, mini flashlight (again, for DH in restaurants), hair elastic, and a bottle of feverfew tincture (in case of migraine). In the outside pockets, i have a brown bag for when I go mushroom shopping, extra plastic bags for dog walking, and a couple of tissues. In the other pocket, I have my subway metrocard and photographs. hmm..sounds like I have too much!

I would have to say I have the "kitchen sink" in my purse!

Among the usual things like the wallet, credit card holder and checkbook....mine holds a vast amount of necessary papers like instruction sheets for quilt projects so I won't forgot how much yardage to purchase. Then there photos of my family and the most precious is a handwritten letter from my daughter telling me how much she loves and appreciates me. I won't go anywhere without it.

Wallet, keys, sunglasses, eyeglasses, lotion, contacts case, eye drops, hand sanitizer, lip balm, lip gloss, bluetooth, iPod, pocketknife, 2 ink pens, inhaler, nail clippers, keychain with 4 flashdrives, pocket calendar, checkbook, backup tape, bottle of ibuprofen, 5 bobbins for my "new" Singer 15-91, 2 packs of gum, 1 protein bar, small flashlight, 2 packets of Crystal Light, credit card& bank statements, paycheck, various other envelopes of ???, last weeks grocery list, and last but not least & most important of all - a gift certificate to my LQS!

Geeesh and I wonder why my purse is so heavy!!

Since this is a public forum, I will refrain from listing all the contents. I will note that I do have a very powerful chemical protection spray. Luckily I've had it out only once (walking from work to the local train station after dark).

Humm.....I have a wallet with the usual CC, health card, Debit...etc. exactly $1 and a bunch of coins. (sad really), IPOD shuffle, mints, keys, pay stub, business cards, medicine, and a lip gloss (never used), deck of cards, Joann's coupon, and a practice fabric origami I got from Guild meeting. Thats what I carry during the work week.

On the weekends...its bank card, drivers license and cell phone in one pocket and keys in the other and off I go.

Like most on here wallet with Health Card, Debit Card, photos of kids and grandkids, coupons, 5 pens (now I know where they all are), lip balm, check book, medication card, epipen, store cards (kohls, price choppers, borders, safeway, Albertsons), swiss army knife, baby aspirin, big key chain (I have no idea what all the keys are for)and when my husband is with me his wallet.
Its a small purse but things always tend to end up on the bottom of it.
