Five Minutes with my new Handbag – RegularRandom

So, I might have bought a new bag 😊

It’s been a rough few weeks. I needed a little retail therapy. Plus, my favourite handbag, that I’ve had since 2010, was destroyed by mould in my leaking apartment.

These are my reasons. But really, I just wanted it. So I got it.

Perfect opportunity for a RegularRandom, right?!

Would you like to join in the RegularRandom crew? Here’s how:

  • choose a subject or a scene
  • spend five minutes photographing it – no more!
  • try to not interfere with the subject, instead see it from many angles, look through something at it, change the light that’s hitting it
  • have fun!
  • tag your post #regularrandom and ping back to this post

Looking forward to seeing your shots.

    Mold in your apartment? Oh no that is horrible. I hope every thing is all fixed up. I still like your handbag 😁

    If is almost like the one flower keeps looking at the bag! Cool photo shoot – and nice bag! Wow – a bag since 2010? Did you use that bag every day for those years? Super curious because we all use bags differently

      Thank you! I did use it for many years. Probably until 2016 when I stopped traveling so much. It was a Coach baby bag which I used as a laptop bag and it was fabulous. I miss it. But I do love this new mimco 😊

        And maybe use boxes of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to help clean the air….

      Thanks Lisa. Unfortunately the old bag was unfixable so it has gone… ☹️

    Beautiful bag, and fabulous shots. I was going to ask, like Julie, if the mound was fixed, but I’m guessing it’s bigger than a leaky pipe or broken tile. I hope resolution is quick and relatively painless. 😀

      Thanks so much Su. No, the mould remains a real issue. I’m calling the RTA tomorrow, it’s getting worse with all this rain.

        I’m so sorry to hear that. Mould has become a huge issue here in a lot of modern houses and apartment buildings due to bad design and materials used. Hopefully yours is caused by something much easier to resolve.

          Yes the same here. I have the dryer on now for my laundry and there’s so much condensation on the windows and window frames. It’s awful.

    Nice! And you’re right, do we really need a reason for a new bag?
