Would you consider giving us a close-up of your bag and the stuff you carry in it? I'm sure the "stuff" is pared down/essential and would inspire us to do the same. <br /><br />BTW, since discovering your excellent blog I need an easy way to go back to the start and look at ALL your posts. I'm into November of your first year and wonder if there is an easier way to do it rather than constantly having to click-click-click. Could all your posts for a month be on one long page or is that an impossible feat?

It is remarkable to me that often their photos could have been taken yesterday. The clothing and hair are timeless. You have that quality and I enjoy seeing your "vintage" items.
